“Just a charity for lesbians” - Antonio Brown reacts as WNBA reportedly set to lose $50 million despite popularity surge

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.

If I want to watch women thug it out, I’ll visit a McDonald’s in the appropriate area.

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!

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).
