i legit wonder if all this wnba stuff is a psyop hatched in some marketing firm because legit the nba has never had more interest than right now and its in their best interest to keep it going

its wwe. you find a heel you find a hero and you pit them against eachother and people dont care about the action because they're there for the stories


They are desperate for attention, so I do think the Clark vs the refs (and the league) is a part of that. Anything to get the social media focused on their league is a win in their eyes (I believe).

I refuse to even turn the WNBA games on, but SportsCenter forces it on you. Between the WNBA and the WWE, they are making SportsCenter unwatchable. But its getting to be college football time, so I guess I just need to keep the remote handy so that I can mute it when needed.



I honestly didn't know sportscenter was still a thing. Why are you watching something that you refer to as "unwatchable?"

SC was great in the early 2000's, but there are so many more options now to get your sports takes that I literally only turn an ESPN channel on if there is a live sporting event that I want to watch.

The only thing I watch on ESPN now is live sports and some of College FB Gameday.

That makes my day better.

Right. Including the Aggies.

By this bold claim he did not watch these in 2025

UTSA
Auburn
Florida
Arkansas
South Carolina

and if extended to the ESPN family (SECN games)
Utah St.
MSU
Samford

and if extended to the parent co Disney (ABC games)
LSU
Mizzou
tu
Miami

Apparently the only game he watched was Notre Dame

So the league was based on speaking out?

Because she is saying the wrong things. Don't you know that a key part of being anti-fascist and anti-racist is making sure that only people of the right races get to say things and even then only if they are saying the right things.

Bingo. And they weren't built on speaking out or protesting. Colin Kapernick did that. Didn't work out so well for him, did it? They were built on the back of the NBA and Title IX. Very few people were asking for the WNBA. It would have gone under a long time ago if not for being subsidized by the NBA. The WNBA has been nothing more than a charity funded by the NBA. Call it whatever you want but the WNBA become somewhat palatable when Caitlin Clark came on the scene. She was/is a young, passionate, and very talented player that made women's basketball somewhat of a joy to watch. Sophie Cunningham was smart enough to realize that if she aligned herself with CC the results would favor her immensely. No one knew who she was until she did that.

This all boils down to jealously from the "old guard" of the WNBA. They hate Clark and Cunningham because they didn't fall in line and the lesbo thugs of the WNBA would rather go back to obscurity and have men play in their league than have their sport elevated to new heights by the likes of Clark and Cunningham.
Covidians, Communists, CNN, FOX, and all other MSM are enemies of the state and should be treated as such.

Pretty sad.

Universities have become left wing seminaries. If your kid isn't going to college to get an education that will directly help them obtain a well paying job you're wasting your money and possibly damaging your child for life.


She's making $650K this year, so I guess you could say Stanford prepared her well for her career.

Whoa!!!

Just found out SC ($665K) makes more than CC ($529K) in salary.

Gotta assume that's some first contract thing? And I know she makes much more on endrosements.

For "built on speaking out" there sure haven't been many listeners since the leagues founding in the late 90's.

I don't think it's about "falling in line." I think it's just pure jealousy. CC hit the scene in the NCAA tournament as she wrapped up college when the media folks knew she was heading to the draft. Fairly attractive, non-woke, straight, and white. It wasn't about her being tolerant or falling in line. The outcry against her is pure bitterness and racism. Its wasn't about "not falling in line." To my knowledge, at the onset she never spoke against them, she just wasn't like them. That was all it took. The WNBA establishment of mediocracy hated that she was different (and maybe refreshingly so) and popular.

The WNBA is where the NBA was in the 70s, lawless, out of control and very low viewership. In the 80s, the NBA got Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. It wasn't a hero vs villain, just two well respected great players with contrasting styles. The Celtics vs Lakers became must watch tv. Go to YouTube and search former players talking about Larry Bird. Call him the great white hope, but he backed it up on the court and players respect and admire him. The media tried to recreate that with Clark and Reese, the problem is that Reese is no Magic Johnson. Throw in the usual pettiness and jealousy of women, and you get what you have now.

NBA subsidizes the WNBA to a tune of 35 million a year, their valuation is complete garbage.


I lose $5K a year on my rental property, but it's gone up $150K in value in 6 years. Why is this math so hard for you?

And everybody keeps pointing out that the increase in paper value is worthless to you until you actually get somebody to pay you that, just like the paper valuations for the WNBA franchises. Actually, the increase in value hurts you by costing you more in taxes.


And I already pointed out a franchise that was purchased this year for $300 million, and another one that sold a portion, with a projected full sale of $450 million. Go ahead, look it up.


Great. When will the team break even?

Until it does we are talking Amway franchise valuations.


Seriously? Every business that's negative cash flow is an Amway franchise? I thought A&M had a business school.

I used to loooove watching espn. Would have it on 36 hours a day. Now i only watch it when i need to - Aggie football - or for a good game. Otherwise, I find espn unwatchable. I'll watch SEC Network for that 'sports news show' fix.

Paige Bueckers is the lesbian magic Johnson. Everybody loves her and shes marketable. Caitlin is Larry Bird. Angel Reese is Daryl Dawkins. The angry lesbians vs mainstream political angle takes it up a notch in wwe style drama to make up for the boring game. I'm in.

The WNBA was founded by black women, so it is primarily a platform for them to speak about what they want?

Nah, sister. That ain't how that works. It's entertainment. Most of the country is regular folks who don't want muh racism and LGBTQwhatever preached at them.

Now that he has passed away, I guess David Stern identifies as a black woman Democrat.

Only problem with that comparison is Caitlin averages more assists per game than Bueckers.

Caitlin is what happens if you combine Magic's floor vision with Step Curry's deep shooting range, and put it in a woman. Her floor vision is almost as impressive as her shooting.

I think you're overselling Caitlin's shooting. It might be cool when she hits a logo three, but she's really only an average three point shooter. She's shooting 36%, which puts her at #35 in the league.

I think a lot of the rough play is that there just isn't enough talent in the league. There are some girls that are legitimately good. The problem is teams have to fill out rosters. When you're not that good and you come up against someone who is, you tend to foul a lot more, and some people resort to hard fouls to try to "send a message." The message they are sending is they can't guard. For whatever reason, the WNBA looks away at this and seems to think those are good plays. It's weird because the NBA doesn't allow it anymore, but the WNBA does. I think if they take away the hard fouls, your would see the really good players shine, and in turn, inspire other girls to up their ball handling, shooting, passing, etc.

Just call it what it is. A thug league. They allow the thugs to take over and dominate games doing thug things and punish anybody who stands up against it.

Yeah, one of the funniest responses I read during Caitlin's rookie year was from a WNBA fan who said the issue with Caitlin was she attracted too many college basketball and NBA fans, and they weren't accustomed to the 'more physical' style of play in the WNBA. I just laughed. No, *****, we grew up watching the NBA in the '80s and '90s, we know what physical play is. We're disgusted by the lack of athletic play we see, and the non-stop mugging of the biggest attraction in the league. These idiots actually tried to gaslight new WNBA fans like they'd never watched a basketball game before.

I guess if you're comfortable telling people a man wearing a wig is a woman, you believe you can convince people of anything.

Daryl Dawkins got to 3 NBA finals. Wake me up when Angel Reese gets to one in the WNBA. To my knowledge she has not even made the playoffs yet.

I think people are buying franchises for the tax benefits. Pay $500 million, write off $450 million (90%) over the next 15 years in depreciation. If you have a billion of personal taxable income coming in over 15 years, being able to write off 45% of that is nice.
