Great! Now there’s three more teams I will never watch!

Everyone is watching because of CC. And they’re trying to beat her up. Right now, CC is not playing due to her injuries.

Just like baseball, keep watering down the sport with more and more and more worthless, inferior players.

The hope is equity appreciation more than makes up for the yearly cash burn.

The same stupid people who invest in vanity project newspapers are now investing in vanity project WNBA teams. Once the cash starts flowing, the players are going to scream for an outsized share of it and cry racism when they don't get it.

The WNBA is the virtue signaling, money laundering arm of the NBA. Clark blew it wide open by mistakenly believing that the purpose of the WNBA was to promote well played women’s basketball.

Why watch a sport where someone the likes of Angel Reese, a hateful person, is thought of as star?

She is a rebound leader because she misses most of her layups and gets her own rebounds. She has a 2” vertical leap, she gets away with traveling, and it is not even questionable, but miraculously missed by the refs.

The league is just a total $hite show, and is a microcosm of leftist political policies.

As long as there are bigger, stronger,faster players few will watch the wNBA.
What would help women’s basketball would be a four quarter game with mixed teams. Each city has a mens team and a female team. But not mixed on the court.
The men vs men only in quarters 1 and 4. And the women vs women only in quarters 2 and 3.. No trans involved . Final score would be composite of both men’s and women scores.
Details could be worked out later. Things could dicey if there are romances going on with players on different teams who just happen to be playing against each other. Be more inclusive than current setup.
Just sayin’
If they can make Olympic sports out of curling, synchronized swimming, half pipe snowboarding, rhythmic gymnastics with idiotic twirling paper ribbons,would this idea be any stranger?

They need men’s league to gift more money. Maybe they should earn it from them?
