Wouldn't it be dope if the WNBA was fun to watch?

Wouldn't it be dope if I had a billion dollars? And super powers? Come on Jay...

It’s not entertaining to watch people play at a level that LOOKS worse than your own.

Not saying I can beat WNBA players( they would wash me) but even the best players still look a step below an average player at a local gym. It’s just something about the lack of speed, agression and athleticism that just kills it for me.

I think that if the WNBA was free and aired on network tv then more ppl would be interested

thats kinda what brought boxing back when they did that PBC network tv thing a few years ago

they should add a multiball feature.
everytime a player hits a three they introduce another ball into the game. so two balls will be in play instead of one until one goes out of bounds.

First 2-4 years of the wnba actually was dope. Cynthia Cooper, Sheryll Swoopes,and Andrea Stinson were my favs

 

[315]

There are enough fun sports to watch

 

[MikelArteta]

Meh
But o had to see that UConn notrr dame game was one of the best games I've seen this year

Sad the wnba is

 

[NoMorePie]

two balls will be in play

Female basketball is inferior to high school boys bball. I dont watch high scool boys play why would I. Watch them

They should lower the rim and decrease the court size, so that the physical gap between the men and women is less blatant.

There would be more dunks, the players would look faster, thus increasing the quality of the product.

People would call that sexist, yet the ball is still a smaller size

THIS.

How can we make it fun to watch thats the question I know it’s anti-lgbt and all but ain’t nobody trying to see a bunch of studs playing basketball...Now what does their sexuality have to do with anything I don’t know maybe it’s just me and my ignorance.

Funny enough, I remember watching some segment on the WNBA on ESPN and although they try to appeal to women and the LGBT crowd as much as possible the majority of their fanbase demographically is older white dudes

If they wanna appeal to a broader fanbase they gotta lower the rims and decrease the court size as @KidJSoul suggests, so that the women can shine more with more athletic, highlight plays

Its either that or get prettier women wearing tighter shorts to play (), but considering all the material/entertainment that exists out in the world nowadays and the ease of accessibility to it idk how much that would improve ratings and fandom, if at all. If it did result in any kind of ratings bump or fan increase I doubt it would be long lasting, ppl would see through it as the gimmick it is and most gimmicks tend to be short lived

Wnba playoffs be lit though

I never thought about it like that

Totally agree, but if they were dope it'd be perfect with nothing on TV rn other than baseball shyt would fill the void if it was watchable

All I know is A’ja Wilson is going to be rookie of the year and that makes me happy
