“Just a charity for lesbians” - Antonio Brown reacts as WNBA reportedly set to lose $50 million despite popularity surge
Sportskeeda ^ | Jun 14, 2024 | Mike Murillo

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.

It's more of just a charity for lesbians.

So many lesbians that it's surprising that either team will even touch the (basket)balls required to play the game.

Then it’s a PC charity for lesbians.

My friend, an alcoholism counselor, had an entire girl’s basketball team in treatment at weekly meetings. They all became drunks at the town lesbian bar.

Caitlin Clark is the only thing keeping the WNBA afloat and if the nasty bitches in the league keep beating on her at the rate they have so far this season it could be her last.

Women’s sports are dominated by lesbians - and you helicopter parents who dote on your daughters by spoiling them through travel sports will find out when they see who gets the “scholarships.”

Caitlin Clark is a phenomenal talent in the game of basketball. Quite possibly the finest all-around basketball player I have ever seen in my 64 years of trying to walk upright on this Earth. I think she is the Creator Himself manifested in the form of a lady basketball player. She has a gift.

John Robert Wooden once wrote, who was a pretty fair basketball player and Coach himself: “Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.” I think Caitlin possesses all of those traits, I hope to see her perform for many years to come.

Brown’s post about the WNBA was a copy and paste of a Jesse Kelly tweet:

He was saying, correctly, that conceit is a bad thing. I have seen nothing to suggest that Caitlin is conceited.

It is a sports league (in effect) on welfare.

That’s my point, Caitlin has no conceit. She’s being careful that way.
