Truth is it isn’t popular enough to stand on its own particularly at the salaries WNBA players are demanding. That’s too ‘non-woke’ to say it out loud. The NBA created this, popularized it (Tried to!) so they’re stuck with it. They can’t out and out shut it down unless they have a ‘plausible’ scapegoat to blame. (Note plausible from a political PR standpoint to blame it on!)

That’s a very sensible comment. It holds true for the WNBA, and for electric vehicles, and for pretty much everything else.
Unfortunately, we live in a country where sensible thinking is simply not wanted. Dream thinking is much preferred.
