I’ve heard the women’s NBA only survives because of the NBA subsidies, that they don’t earn enough from ticket sales and TV money to make it otherwise.
We can all say we want equal rights for women and all that, but, we can’t force people to buy tickets or watch women’s sports on TV.

I suspect at least for next year WNBA will see an uptick in ticket sales with Caitlin Clark currently playing for Iowa going pro. Of course that will make many WNBA supporters not necessarily happy as she is straight and white.
