Its not like people watch the WNBA to see the pinnacle of the sport...come to think about it...not sure who watches the wnba.

__________________________________________

Who watches WNBA? A good question...

I think many, not all, fans of WNBA are lesbians...

I watched a few WNBA games on TV...But, after a few minutes, I changed the channel...I did not find the game to be too interesting...

I have watched women’s NCAA tournament games...Some of them were interesting...
For example, UConn has an excellent women’s basketball team...UConn once had a long undefeated streak going...

About this T-shirt business...It is ridiculous...Show up at the game wearing a T-shirt supporting some political candidate? That is going too far...
Nobody in the WNBA league office thought that players went too far?

I don’t want athletes to show up at the game wearing the T-shirt supporting a candidate...I don’t care if that shirt supports President Trump...I just want no partisanship displayed at the game...

WNBA needs more fans...Do the players realize that? WNBA gains more fans then it will earn more money...Then the players will get paid more...Has anybody told the players about that? I am sure players do care about how much money they make...

In my opinion, WNBA will not get more fans if the players act like some social justice warriors...

I am not going to watch WNBA games on TV any time soon...Not unless players act more responsibly...

Good comment, L.A. Justice. The players with T-shirts are killing interest in their support while the WNBA is struggling to gain followers. It’s surprising to me that the politicization of sports continues after the big hit the NFL is taking to stadium tickets.

Now, with Covid, it’s going to be even tougher to fill stands. At some point attending the games loses its fascination for the fans. Better to watch on T.V. anyway — a better watching experience.
