Retired NFL player Antonio Brown has shared his thoughts on reports that the WNBA is set to incur at least $50 million in losses for the 2024 season alone. This comes despite the reported surge in popularity thanks to the arrival of fan-favorite players, led by rookie sensation Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever.
The one-time Super Bowl winner took to X to share a highly controversial take on the league's reported losses:
"This is why I've found all the WNBA talk to be hilarious. Nobody actually watches it. So when you're arguing about it, you're not really arguing about a professional sport. It's more of just a charity for lesbians."
The Washington Post reported that the expected $50 million losses of the WNBA for the ongoing season is a continuation of the about $10-million-a-year losses the league has been incurring since its inception in 1997.
The report also cited the WNBA is still relying a lot on the financial backing provided by the NBA and would have a hard time existing without it.

Cancel Antonio! How dare he speaketh truth.
And a tax write-off for the NBA.
If I want to watch women thug it out, I’ll visit a McDonald’s in the appropriate area.
It’s still minority for lesbians.
Antonio is as crazy as a s-house rat, but he got this one right.
Then... he ain’t TOTALLY nuts.
“You don’t know what a write off is”
“No, but they do and they’re the ones writing it off.”
Watch Xiden’s justice system go after Antonio Brown. No joke!
+1
BUMP & HOORAY Antonio
As if the WNBA didn’t have enough image problems, now it’s showing bias against a straight white woman! Then they complain about being stereotyped!
Quote of the Year, right there!
27 years of financial losses? I guess the NBA likes making a political statement about women’s basketball. The NBA is subsidizing this.
Not just a "tax write off"...but more importantly, a loss of actual cash
Tax write off and good PR for the NBA (until this year).
“It’s more of just a charity for lesbians.”
LOL!!!
Glad I didn’t say it.
What a bunch of crybabies.
Chuck E. Cheese is usually more fun, and statistically more probable.
