WNBA is usually not on my sports radar at all. But since it has now forced it’s way onto national news. I find it astounding that after so many years of mediocrity they had reached a near breakthrough with the addiion of Clark. They now appear to have chosen the path of self destruction. What kind of ownership do they have that would see everything fall apart as it now appears to be happening.
They are parasites. They cost the NBA millions. Maybe it's some kind of tax avoidance scheme.
“...with the addiion of Clark...”
Problem is that Clark has come into the league and taken over the spotlight and many of the endorsements because of talent and not criminality. And this doesn’t sit well with the thugs they brought in prior to her that were in there to try to compete with the violence of the NBA along with determining if a smaller salary without endorsements was sufficient to support the violence. However, putting on wigs and makeup is still putting a bow on a pig.
So ego, jealousy, bottom line, and glamour have raised their ugly heads and become a factor in the leagues destiny. There were 7 previous leagues in the US that have failed. This one will too. Too much ego, too few opportunities to make money at the level they players think they are worth, and the type of too many players that settle their differences with punches and elbows cause that’s how they make their money. In hockey they’d be called goons.
