why does any of it bother you?



Because its continued existence, after year after year of low attendance, losing money, no ratings is a sham and a slap in the face to anything else that was allowed to fail because it wasn’t the chosen one to be propped up at all costs.

Why are the ancillary football leagues that pop up every few years allowed to fail? Shouldn’t those players be paid to play arena football, USFL, or whatever else instead of loading boxes at FedEx onto trucks?

Why should these women be propped up when the money says otherwise?

It’s a slap in the face and contrary to the American way of life- the strong survive and capitalism.

instead of worrying about pro football leagues that never make it, the Rock or wrestling people need to start a women's league

have a regular league and then in the offseason have a barnstorming 3x3 league

Sounds like this has had a real impact on your life.

I wish you the best and hope you can get through these struggles and tough times and come out on the other end for the better.

Goodness dude. If the NBA wants to waste a ton of money propping up the WNBA let them do it. You don't have to watch

A private entity (NBA) choosing to do what it wants with its money, in this case funding the WNBA, is a slap in the face to the American way?

Making a repeat post on a message board complaining about WNBA pay and a private transaction made by the NBA is arguably more of a slap in the face to the American way.

So you hate the UFL too, right? Since it's being propped up by the Rock despite losing a shite ton of money.

because none of them partnered up with the NFL.
and in fact several of them outright claimed to be attempting to compete with the NFL.

The nba feels like by engaging women viewers that they can develop a league separately AND enhance its own viewership.
