Remember the WNBA? The women’s basketball league the NBA started to draw more women into watching basketball? In it’s inaugural season, the WNBA finals drew 2.85 million viewers, when the Houston Comets won the first of their four championships.
It’s never reached those heights again, and the Comets folded in 2008. There was a mild uptick to 728,000 viewers last year.
So you’d think the league would welcome an exciting, highly skilled new breakout player.
You’d be wrong.
- “For almost three decades the WNBA has been a laughing stock and disgrace of a professional sports league that only survives due to NBA subsidies.”
- “A possible turning point for this sad existence of a league has arrived in the form of a basketball messiah.”
- “Caitlin Clark, the greatest and most popular female college basketball player of all time, has announced she’ll be joining the WNBA this upcoming season, and some think she can do for the WNBA what Larry, Magic or Jordan did for the NBA.” I think she can make it more popular, but I sincerely doubt she can produce the same boost that trio gave to the NBA’s fortunes. “The WNBA’s players don’t want Caitlin Clark to succeed.”
- “The WNBA is made up primarily of players who’ve been infected with the false ideas of modern feminism, which heavily focuses on issues related to race, sexuality, gender identity and participating in the oppression Olympics.” I would say “Get woke, go broke,” but the WNBA was already broke without NBA subsidies.
...
- “The first problem Clark will face is that she will be a straight player in a primarily LGBT dominated league, which some of you may think is nonsense and won’t have any effect.”

Whut?
She doesn’t even have a Y Chromosome.
Her endorsement deals now are approaching $1 million, as a college player! Doubtful anyone in the WNBA makes as much.
Knowing her family, I hope she takes some money and runs. And becomes an exemplary wife and mom.
She will. Unless Megan Rapinoe manages to brainwash her.
Maybe they should form a separate Negro league. Seriously, Caitlin is from my hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. The State is very proud of her, but the WNBA has always struggled to sell enough tickets.
Actually West Des Moines. moines
And Beach Volleyball. I'm a big fan of women's Pro Beach Volleyball.
Check out the local women’s sports teams.
Most are dominated by Lesbians.
Hockey, basketball, soft ball teams? They all have majorites of Queers.
They also specialize in grooming young women to their sexual “bent ways!”
Warning to Parents and Grandparents....KNOW WHO IS INFLUENCING YOUR CHILD. NOT DOING SO CAN HAVE HEARTBREAKING CONSEQUENCES.
“Have the trans men started playing for wnba?”
May be worth watching, but only after the trannies drive out the women. At least it will then be a men’s league.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.
When star athletes are moving to the next level, there is typically a lot of buzz...sometimes months before they even play a game. Think Tiger Woods. Thing Peyton Manning. Think Ichiro. Leagues couldn’t stop talking about these players. Do you hear anything close to that with Caitlin Clark? I’m not glues to ESPN, but what I have heard is that she aint all that. She hasn’t won a championship. She’s got a boyfriend. In other words.....she aint welcome. With all that said, Caitlin Clark should use the cold shoulder she’s getting to burn her desire to do do great things. That’s what Jackie Robinson did.
To me, we’ve got to stop talking about people’s identity and start talking about their ability. Until we get back to that in every aspect of life, we’re all just wasting our time.
“ I keep hearing chatter that Caitlin Clark might get drafted by an NBA team. Her shooting is good enough to make up for her lack of a floor game.”
Lack of a floor game?? The NCAA leader in assists (and triple doubles and double doubles) lacks a floor game??
No way. The NBA would be much too physical for her. Don’t kid yourself - it may be called a non-contact sport, but at the college and pro level it is very physical.
I think he did a good job of presenting facts to support his thesis.
Very true. I was only a mediocre high school basketball player and lost teeth. Elbows in the paint hurt.
Latest stats I can find show that straight players in the wnba are around 70%.
So, probably not.
Nonsense on many levels.
Do you know much about basketball? I think not.
Here’s a quick flash quiz:
How big is a men’s basketball?
How big is a woman’s basketball?
Speculate: how good would NBA players be with the smaller “girls ball”?
Speculate: how good would she be with the larger men’s ball.
Fact: the hoop is the same size. Do the math.
Griner comes pretty darn close to trannie; (she) could sing bass for the Oak Ridge Boys (Pa-oom-papa-mao-maow).
What percentage?
Remembering Don Imus.
“ Is there any evidence to support that, or is it just the guys opinion?”
Some guys opinion for now.
My guess is that if she brings the fans that it looks like she will then she will be fine.
But the WNBA yes has many lesbies.
