Basketball is the one sport where the womens game just doesnt work well because of the physical limitations...and truthfully thats why US womens basketball doesnt get the publicity of the soccer team....womens basketball is a different game,where as the skills and physical limitations in the other womens sports doesnt detract from mens game as much...

Yeah that's why a lot play overseas as well.

But for these chicks that love basketball it's probably still better to make an average American salary playing basketball then doing a bull shyt 9-5 that you hate :yeshrug: Plus like I said the good ones can go make cash overseas. They know the WNBA isn't popular so it is what it is.

Really, just the one? Fact remains that most people aren't willing to pay to watch (or even watch for free) atleast 80% of women's sports. One sex is bigger, stronger, and faster than the other, why waste time with the inferior product? :manny:

What i mean is its the only womens sport where its alot different from the mens game because of the lack of dunks and athleticism above the rim...it changes the entire game the way its played and watched....its like watching a junior high game.

IN soccer the womens game is slower and not as skillful but its basically still the exact same game just at a slower pace....

Women's tennis and women's soccer are watchable. Women's basketball is damn near unwatchable and I never check for the UConn women's team really, I don't give a fukk. You seen one blowout, you seen them all :pacspit:


THIS...womens tennis players can still play the game the same with the same techniques just slower and with not as much force cept for Serena.
these WNBA players cant dunk,cant make athletic plays around the rim..its like watching a completely different game...

Business wise, the WNBA isn't anything but a way to market yourself in the US. In America, the only way female hoopers are gonna make money is through endorsements. The more marketable you are, the more money you'll make (obviously). That's why Skylar Diggins doesn't have to play overseas. She makes so much money of endorsements and appearances (because she looks :noah:) she doesn't need that overseas money.
