Checking my give a shit meter - I find it is pegged at zero.
And comparing it to LIV is a joke. Here is their viewership: How many viewers does LIV Golf have? LIV's third event of 2023, in Orlando from March 31-April 2, drew 1.26 million. In Hong Kong for its most recent tournament, LIV said it drew 2.41 million viewers. Its fourth event in 2023, held in Australia from April 21-23, drew 1.32 million.Apr 4, 2024 Please note it is a start up league still trying to get regular TV deals. Which it will. Because it features world class golfers. And some people like watching golf. Now WNBA - What is the average attendance of a WNBA game? WNBA average attendance 2023 | Statista 6,615 During the 2023 regular season, average attendance at Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) games rose to 6,615. This not only marked a continued recovery from the dip in attendance experienced during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but exceeded the pre-pandemic figure of 6,528 recorded in 2019.Oct 24, 2023 And How many WNBA games are broadcasted? During the upcoming season, the WNBA will collaborate with ESPN to present up to 52 possible games beginning with the WNBA regular season presented by Google and extending through the WNBA Playoffs presented by Google, which will feature up to 27 games, including the WNBA Finals presented by YouTube TV.Apr 10, 2024 Hey, they just don't draw. How many jerseys are sold? How many endorsements are there? Who can name 3 players in the league? Reality is a bitch. No one wants to watch WNBA when they can see better players at high school mens events. If they want change figure out how to sell it. |

It would be interesting to see the demographics of LIV fans vs. WNBA. Betcha one rides to the events in Bentleys and dines in 5 star establishments after while the other rides the bus and can't afford a hotdog. As a business person who would you prefer to support and market to?

I suggest that subsidizing the WNBA cease, and it be forced to rely upon its own revenue to fund itself.

It’s pretty simple: Be more entertaining. People watch sports to be entertained. Showmanship, flair, attitude, those are things the NBA mostly has figured out. It’s even more technical things like the WNBA allowing zone defense (boring) while the NBA does not. Better uniforms wouldn’t hurt either. Take a cue on that from literally any other women’s sport.

Salaries are probably low in WNBA is because your average boys HS team could smoke them.
No one is paying a lot of money to watch HS boys play. Perhaps Clark can initially get more people in the seats, but I doubt the jealousy of the current players will ever allow her to be the face of their league. I don't watch the NBA. I am sure not going to watch the WNBA. |

It's about marketability. They are selling a product that doesn't have mass appeal. People don't want to watch unattractive women play sports at a mediocre level.
The WNBA is a charity that only exists because the NBA is run by a bunch of woke twats. The WNBA has never turned a profit in 25-30 years. Case closed. |

I saw a tweet about this noticing that the wnba loses money every year and is allready subsidized, therefore a fare wage is 0 dollars

Solution implies a problem to be solved. The low market value of women’s basketball is neither good nor bad. It’s a simple fact.

There are some female ballers that are complete and total smoke shows.Especially in college. Women will never be men.They need to stop trying. They need to pretty themselves up and show some skin.That would absolutely put asses in seats. I’m sorry but when it comes to women sex absolutely sells.It could be done in a classy way.Not to mention that doing so would push the angry lesbians out of the game.

Have they thought about not sucking? I'm near sighted, and I'll take my glasses off at restaurants, but I recently had to put them back on to see if the Special Olympics was playing on the TV high up on the wall. Nope. Just a WNBA or women's NCAA game.

The NBA really needs more diversity. Woman, older players . Those with physical handicaps all need to be included. The NBA has zero players with prosthetic limbs that needs to change.

On a percentage of revenue female basketball players make significantly more than their male counter parts. Problem is no one wants to watch it, attend it, and thus finance it.

The market dictates the salaries. Nobody wants to watch that shit…..we don’t need to prop it up, that’s what got the country in trouble for the last 50 years. It’s terrible fucking basketball. They can’t run, they can’t jump….its basketball, in slow motion.

Base women's salaries on what their league brings in, ratioed to the men's league.

Men are inherently superior to women at most sports, and nobody wants to watch the inferiors play, they want to watch the best of the best.
So rather than trying to play a men's game and complaining that nobody watches it, why don't they invent their own games that rely more on the characteristics that women naturally excel at? For example, there are many gymnastics events that men couldn't win if they were coed. Create an exciting, competitive team game that showcases female strengths and people will watch. |
