After the Chicago Sky won the Women’s National Basketball Association Championship, the city sponsored a parade Tuesday for the WNBA champs. Video of the event, though, shows that few Chicagoans took notice of the procession.
The Sky beat the Phoenix Mercury 80-74 Sunday at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena to become the first Chicago-based team ever to become WNBA champs and the first team in the city to take the big win since the Cubs won the World Series in 2016.
The Associated Press tried to present the WNBA rally in the best light claiming that ” Chicago turned out Tuesday” and “Fans lined Michigan Avenue to cheer on the Sky.”
But one particular video of the four open busses filled with Sky players, staffers, and family members followed by a half dozen cars showed the vehicles slowly rolling down near-empty streets as the players waved to who knows who.
The empty streets equally amused many commenters:
Barely restrained crowds !
The visceral excitement of the assembled dozens was palpable
Great social distancing
We’ve seen this excitement before . . .

My wife heard about their championship and asked me about it, and I had to look them up to see what sport they were involved in. And we are in the Chicago area.
I’ve never understood who the WNBA’s target audience is. Generally speaking, men aren’t interested in women’s sports and women aren’t interested in any sports. Of course, there are exceptions.
OMG, there is NOBODY THERE!! Those poor girls.
It looks like for open top buses full of tourists all waving their hands at nobody. I didn’t even see any Homeless people.
But this is not something new. Even when I was a kid, from what I could see, not a lot of Basketball fans would get excited about Women’s Basketball, unless your daughter or sister was on the team. Not fair, but true.
I went to a WNBA game with my daughter, who was playing bb. Most of the crowd were lesbian couples
Women like sports but not the kind that men like. Women, by far, are the ones that tune into figure skating, for example. And, more women watch the Olympics than men.
The Tribune shows a few photos from the rally as well as other parades of title teams from the city:
Its sad, really. These women have been turned into props.
If the fake media, their handlers, and the social-engineer types didn’t try so hard to manufacture their equality, and simply let things develop naturally, there would probably be more interest.
“I’ve never understood who the WNBA’s target audience is.”
idiot leftards who think women are equal to men.
The Baylor University Lady Bears won the NCAA basketball championship in 2019 and had a bigger turnout than that for their parade. Significantly.
Just compare the crowd for the last Blackhawks Stanley Cup in 2015:

Where are all the women showing support for fellow women?

Don Imus perfectly tagged these paraders a long time ago.
The only woman sports that people seem to be really interested in is women’s college basketball. I live in Connecticut, unfortunately, so that means UConn Huskies basketball is a big moneymaker and has lots of supporters. Even people who watch the Huskies don’t even care about the WNBA.
Not sure I know what this wnba thing is.
Some sort of antifag/blowelmove thing?
I wouldn’t mock them. Kinda sad but no one watches womens sports unless some how directly tied to the team or the worm, or they give away tickets to a local hospital.
Face it their boring but they won, just not parade tine winning
nippy, nappy... something? Hmm what was that line?
Too bad, Imus was good and funny.
No one wants to watch heavily subsidized lesbians play basketball.
Pretty much that simple.
From what I've heard, a lot of the players and a majority of their fans are lezbos.
Which begs the question, why didn't the rainbow pride lgbtqx crowd not show up for the parade?
Could it be that the homo crowd is racist? Nah....
I’ve got more productive things to do other than watch a busload of seven foot Amazon lesbians drive down the street. Like, going to a pedicurist from Sudan and getting my toenails pulled out with a pair of pliers.
