Similar to how football basically subsidizes the rest of the sports programs at most universities. WNBA is basically a glorified scholarship program that only exists because of political correctness.
They are lucky to get paid at all. For example, the University of Tennessee was supposed to be the Mecca of women’s basketball under Pat Summitt, but even there it was the men’s team that drew the paying crowds, made money for the university, while the much hyped women’s team could do little more than break even.
Plus they are mostly dykes who marry each other.
So are the NBA players.
Despite the WNBA’s reason for being and social implications, I actually enjoy watching the women’s game. The gal’s game is a more pure style of basketball in terms of finesse and execution than the NBA. Yes the men’s game is more athletic, but I am a guy who misses Dean Smith running the four corners otfense with Phil Ford.
It is impossible to change the channel fast enough when the WNBA comes on.
Tax writeoffs.
There’s still a WNBA?
Breanna Stewart is about the only WNBA player I’d pay to see. And maybe Sue Bird in her prime.
