Bill Burr said it best. Even women don't support the league.
Lesbians always have pride .
Wnba are lesbians .
Wnba have pride .
That's what I don't get. Instead of brow beating and trying to shame men into supporting the league, why don't they get women to watch? They are the larger demographic.
They watch The Kardashians
I wouldn't trust that coming from a man. Ijs
@@jasonwolfe3252 They much prefer to manipulate and mooch off of men.
I just hate how the WNBA just ignores that Brittney Griner committed a crime. Like it or not, other parts of the world have different rules and laws!
I'm no fan of Brittany but bro you gotta let that go y'all act like she kill someone. You probably did worst in this country and ain't do a day in jail.
@@Rey-gq2il You can get thrown in jail and killed in the middle east for being gay, you can also get arrested for minor offenses for being a woman. In Cuba, you can get 6 months to 2 years for small amounts of weed, 2-4 years for bigger amounts, and 15-30 years for international trafficking. Other countries have different rules, it isn't that hard to look them up to see what you can or can't do. Stop applying American law, culture, and logic to problems of other countries.
This is especially more important when you're in a country like Russia who is known for disliking America and being a dictatorship. The moment they can get someone to fuck up they throw them in jail and try and make them to fuck up more so they can get them more years and have other countries negotiate for their release (exactly what happened with Brittney). It happened once in North Korea with a US military and is once more happening again with another soldier. It has even happened in the United States.
@@Rey-gq2ilI cant stand the woman. But I'm not placing much weight on her supposed "Breaking Russian Law" narrative. Russia had an excuse they probably didn't care about before but in her case used it to gain some leverage.
@@Rey-gq2il It doesn't matter, it's a different country with different laws and penalties. You can say that their laws are too strict, but if you go there and break them that's your own fault.
@@Rey-gq2il I'd rather the prisoner swap be with one of our captured agents who is locked up and tortured for our country. She committed a crime in another country... yes there are other countries out there and they abide their own set of laws.
The ball is smaller, the three point line is closer, but somehow lowering the rim is offensive…🥴
Exactly what I was thinking. They just don't wanna have to adapt to a new game style. They just want to be rich and famous, but the money comes from ads and ads come viewer ratings. IF the WNBA stays the same, they bank account gonna too
LMAO LOSERS WNBA
And that player that was saying "we are young league only 25 years" she's actually hurting her case. The reason the nba started getting popular is because dudes like Wilk and Bill came along and started playing above the rim.
Right... make it make sense... oh right... its women we talking bout lol!
And they court not 94 feet
How they play in completely empty venues, sell no merch, and STILL think they deserve the same pay is crazy
women
That's what "entitlement" will do to a group of people, or people individually. You can see that in our government. I'll just leave it at that.

@@mikahong ... Not sure you should be anywhere on the "mad spectrum" when it comes to that. Every woman you know is a narcissistic sociopath every one

Classic Al. Miss him big time. lol
So an WNBA player wants to share the revenue... agreed... so each player can pay $35,000 a year to play
True!
Exactly
Sounds good
That's the reality of it but their ego's make it so that they don't understand it !
I wouldn't be surprised if they count the NBA's welfare check to them as "revenue". FOH
What kills me is when people say they should make more money. Then I ask..”do you watch the games…buy merchandise, attend games”?
They say no….i then end the conversation
This isn’t just a WNBA issue. This is a great look into the issues with modern feminism in general. Tons of arrogance & refusal to accept reality. Lot of victimizing themselves instead of taking accountability/action.
Yeah and all the men do is complain, be dismissive, and apply double standards.
If men got treated the way they get treated there would be an absolutely epic tantrum.
A LOT of truth in this post!
What are you talking about?
Bro, great comment!
This argument is lazy. And I'm a dude.
The thing that cracks me up is they play with:
A smaller ball
A smaller court
Less minutes per game
Less games per season
Yet somehow, lowering the rim is a bridge too far. 🤣
I'm a 5'6 dude, I would LOVE if the standrd rim was lowered so I can start dunking. 🤣
i mean court is the same size, lane/3 point line may be shorter
but i agree with rim but i want it at 9 feet
The 3-point line is also 2.5 feet closer than in the NBA.
They already only have 40 games a season
I WOULD RATHER WATCH A BOYS 6TH GRADE BASKETBALL GAME THAN THE WNBA GAME THESE WOKE LEFTIST BALL PLAYERS ARE SO DISIIUSSIONAL IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY IF IT WASN'T FOR THE NBA PUTTING MILLIONS INTO THIS CRAPPY LEAGUE THE WNBA WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD YEARS AGO THESE WOMEN SHOULD THANK ALMIGHTY GOD THAT THEY ARE GETTING ANY KIND OF MONEY FOR PLAYING THIS BULLCRAP BRAND OF BASKETBALL THE WNBA TOTALLY STINKS 🦨🦨🦨🦨🦨
WNBA is a prime example of why humility is important. Stop comparing yourself to the nba y’all are different accept your differences and limitations and then you’ll reap the rewards
they earn more than doctors when they can't even do their job, entertain and play well, properly. Even street ball might be more entertaining than this
Also 75% of the players are masculine LGBT chicks. Who wants watch a bunch of women chest bumping, wearing baggy clothes and pretending to be men? The girls also get their attitudes from 🍆 envy. Their pride gets in the way.
@@mrparkx2"might be more entertaining"? It is😂😂
@@eamparbeng lmao
What’s funny to me is that the players would like everyone to believe they’ve never played on an outdoor court where the goals were rarely 10 ft. They can play with a smaller ball but are insulted being asked to play on a lower rim FOR MORE MONEY! The players should see it as an incentive to make it to the WNBA so they can start dunking on other players.
Candace, that child drop step dunking, will be a boy.
the fact it actually says 500k through 13 games is wild
Bots
The NBA should apologize, and say “You’re right, you could run the WNBA better without us. So it’s better we go our separate ways and then you can generate all of your own revenue and pay people whatever you want.”
The WNBA is exactly like buying a homeless person a house to live in, then after a few years, they complain that their house isn’t as nice as yours.
If the WNBA lowered the rim, and were actually fun and likeable, the league would do 10x better. Remember back in the 2000s when the women’s soccer team were the darlings of America who’s matches were insanely popular, even more so than the men? It’s because they weren’t constantly whining and existing solely to be a victim.
The real problem is that lesbian Women don't wanna hear from straight men. The find it disrespectful and insulting.
But almost all the fans of all major sports are straight men. They effectively alienate their most major fan base cus of posturing.
And these dudes are the only people that care enough to try to help them and get smacked in the face for it.
@@shadow_realm47😂😂😂😂😂
@@user-vi5vd3ty9d :p hehe
@@shadow_realm47damn the cold truth. Facts. It's the gayness of the league more than anything. Young Boys don't want these women. They look rough plus gay. Let's keep it real. No eye candy
I’ll rather watch women in UFC ! No whining or complaining
It's amazing to me how these women are supposed to be business professionals, yet they don't want to hear any constructive feedback. That's a scary thought for the league's survival.
They've obviously all failed economics because any business that doesn't turn a profit doesn't last, and especially doesn't depend on subsidies for survival.
Don't do that. You're mansplaining😂😂😂.
Its called being a female FEELINGS over LOGIC. You ever a female who is INTELLIGENT ?
U just answered your own question....MOST OF THEM ARE NOT BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS 🤨
@@acb9896if the NBA didn’t subsidize them, they wouldn’t lmao
An equal percentage of revenue would likely end up with them paying for the right to play.
They actually get paid a higher percentage of revenue than NBA players do 😂😂. Look it up
@@jordanjay1479 Way to flunk at reading comprehension. A higher percentage of a net loss would mean they would have to pay in order to play.
I'm pretty sure the WNBA takes their percentage out of the total revenue...not the revenue left after expenses are subtracted from profits. The majority of WNBA teams don't generate a profit...so their players need to be paid out of the total revenue generated and the NBA needs to subsidize the difference in order to make sure some teams don't go under.
If they were paid out of their profits...like most other sports leagues in the World...your point would be true. They'd either have to pay to play or teams would start folding because they couldn't afford to pay them.
This whole conversation is a great argument against YT comments. Too many of them have the value of the WNBA. WTF !!
That prisoner exchange still is just a mind-blowing thing to know happened. In the history books it will be written down that a basketball player legit broke another country's laws, got a sentence that people thought was too harsh, so we traded a famed international war criminal, at one time the most wanted man in the world, prolific to the point that movies have been based on him, so that the basketball player didn't have to serve their sentence for their actual crime.
Well when you put it that way the U.S.'s actions sound almost silly.
They did it to get minority votes
Who cares? So she had some weed. Male sports players have literally murdered people and basically gotten away with it.
Some SERIOUS double standards here.
@pittland44 why? She's an American citizen. If it was a popular male basketball player everyone would have been rioting to get him back.
@@cinimatics She committed a crime. Biden wanted her back to get the minority vote
Rob Parker said it best: for the WNBA to succeed, women have to care about it. Women gotta start buying WNBA tickets to go to games.
That's not gonna happen. Women only go to NBA games to watch players they want to sleep with. They care not about the game.
WNBA has to insert fashion and drama first. WNBA will have to be some sort of female reality show with a basketball setting. Tons of arguing and petty drama. WNBA will never sell on the sport alone.
lol huh if woman aren't supporting it now what makes you think it will change just because? lol the fact is its boring. it feels like watching a high school game at times. Also the NBA is the only reason they have salaries to begin with as they foot the bill for the negative revenue EVERY YEAR. so its actually SUPER INNAPPROPRIATE TO ASK FOR SAME PAY AS NBA LOL
@@nicholaswilkerson501their being coddled they need someone too straight tell them "you're losing money without the nba this league wouldnt have lasted as long as it did"
I asked a girl to go to a basketball game with me and said we could sit Courtside. She was all about it until she found out that it was the WNBA 😂😂😂
To sell Sports as entertainment, you need to entertain the audiences no matter whats gender the audiences are. If they entertained, they will pay the tickets
They have a fit about a lower rim yet they already use a smaller ball.
Also, the WNBA three point line is 2.5 feet closer to the rim then the NBA
EXACTLY!!!!! Give their asses the Men Ball since they are equal to men.
@@dilly07-tradesmen77 Dont forget they also only play 40 minutes.
Don't they play less games too
@@djbobby224no point to play more games when revenue is down though, they'd be loosing more money.
Why no one ever ask them what is 20% of 0?
The WNBA is this close to being a really hard Final Jeopardy category.
One word, entitlement. It turns fans off.
They don't wanna day the other elephant in room linked with entitlement. Even feminists ain't supporting them in mass
Candace parker blatantly lying when saying "my daughter will be able to dunk on NBA rims" is the height of this arrogance
if her daughter had testicles maybe
Yeah that’s a delusional ideologue speaking right there. Nothing said using basic logic of any kind. So many being brainwashed by the liberal MSM these days.
Are u sure ? She can dunk herself , on a 10ft rim. So her offspring dunking ain't so far fetched..
@@jimmirogers3485 doesn’t change the arrogant speak. We don’t know if her offspring can or not because it hasn’t been proven. Fact is the majority of females cannot, so logic says no. Arrogance.
If her girl 👧 it’s 2,01 and more maybe…but again our bodies are build different
this one quote from a fgc video sticks to me until today
"we want to watch basketball not professional hot potato"
Lowering the rim is the coolest thing for us short dudes. We played full court on 8' 6" hoop outdoor court in Kailua Hawaii in 86 we even had fans around the park watching us all the time. When you can finger roll like George Gervin and dunk like chocolate thunder and Dr. J. it was nice and the fans loved it. The fans didn't give 1 ish the rims weren't 10 feet high.
On a short rim. Good for you.
They're already using a smaller ball, the 3pt line is nearer, and they're playing shorter and fewer games. What's so different about lowering the rim?
I brought this up to my partner, and she was like "wait really?" I'm like yeah........they don't tell you that shit lol.
@@thereelpineapple and women DONT follow it ... - your story is a perfect example.
Very, very, legitimate point.. These WNBA chicks are completely tripped out!! If it wasn't for the NBA continually SUBSIDISING their ungrateful asses from top to bottom, they would have nothing at all.. Zero, nada, absolutely nothing.. They'd have to go elsewhere (overseas) if they wanted to continue playing organised basketball after finishing college.. But somehow, from their delusional point of view ----- FACTS like that shouldn't matter..
Women's professional golf has the tees not as far back as the men. 40 or 50 yard longer shots into greens would make for less dynamic shot making and scoring for the women on tour. It just makes so much more sense to have the rim a bit shorter. Find out what the vertical jump average is for men vs women and adjust. Or you could just experiment with a 9 1/2 rim or 9 1/4, and see the difference it makes. Could be a real positive. No sense in letting pride keep you from exploring opportunities to improve the game and make it more fun for the players and fans.
Without trying something new, we wouldn't have a shot clock, or a three point line.
It's one of those, "it's not what you said, it's how you said it so I'm going to disregard all the sense it makes and act angry until everybody says I'm right" situations, I think.
Good video. I was having such a a good day. Someone broke into my car and left in a finals tickets! Ruined day.
Literally every suggestion the WNBA players suggest is a red flag into how privileged and entitled they players are.
I love how every background montage behind every WNBA video is alway the players endlessly airballing.
It happens so often it's hard to find different videos.
@@BrianFerguson-vs2bn bro I wish... I actually watched some games... id they airballed all the time I'd be funny at least. In reality it's like a league for 40 to 50yo men who are very out of shape, run around slowly and the most exciting thing to see is a layup...
And yes I know they're actually very athletic, but watching it compared to men's league it seems like they're playing in slow motion
@@aw2584 Mhmm. Probably a lot of high school boys teams could beat the WNBA champs.
The ego behind not wanting to shorten the rim is baffling to me. It’s one thing to stay steadfast with not wanting to. But, say it’s disrespectful to ask?….How?..😳
Lowering the rim won't do anything. Women still don't have the bounce as men. Women won't be dunking on other women. The majority of women still can't dunk. Look at their jump shots, most are push shots or flat footed. Look at block shots, most are flat footed. No elevation. Lowering the rim would just mean more dunks on fastbreak by people that are already dunking in the WNBA.
Just try to get most women to understand they are wrong is just about impossible they will forever blame men for problems they create !
Wannabe studs
Lowering the rim just hurts both women and men. The way these weak generations of men move they are going to constantly play on the women’s rims and ruin the mens game. Add that all the high school and playground rim’s would end up at the woman’s height, because society has to cater to women. The height change would mess up the mens game as well.
@@kennethsmith6367no it wouldn’t. The women’s balls are smaller (Ha), the 3 point line is closer, the seasons are shorter, and the games are shorter. Lowering the rim wouldn’t change the NBA or men’s leagues at all.
LOWER THE RIM!!! These players are insulted when this is mentioned but the ball they use is smaller.
Parker's response to Shaq is one of the most comical responses ever " oh, my second kid will dunk in 2040, you just WAIT for it" uhh yeahhhh ok
Women don't make sense
I remember in an interview when Lisa Leslie said that NBA players should donate part of their salaries to WNBA players. Room full of dudes including Lebron and all of them just nodded their heads and pretended they thought it was a valid point when you know for damn sure they were thinking "This chick is trippin". Only Draymond had the balls to say what he was thinking and call her out for being childish and unrealistic.
They already do
Draymond is a real one for calling that out. You could tell it wasn’t the first time he heard someone say that lol
They do is the funniest thing. The league is financed by the men's
Shid but that's a good idea. They are a collection of "rich friends" that could help funding a league that one day their children or grandchildren can actually have a league they are proud of. Having players constantly go to the games. Show up to events people would flock as well. If I had a women's team here in Baltimore. I would go all the time. Even more if the others team stars were promoted and I knew who was in town.
Dray would be a menace in the WNBA
I love when they say “we should get paid an equal share of the revenue”. I’ve never seen someone fight to have to pay to do their job.
OK LADIES, SEASON'S OVER... HERE IS THIS YEAR'S BILL FOR THE COURT TIME. SPLIT IT AMONG YOURSELVES AS Y'ALL SEE FIT !!
They don't wanna be compared to men yet many try to emulate men in their appearance and demanor... The Wiggins revalation didn't help either. Make it make sense....
That's why they say revenue, not profits
They say that, thinking that they sound smart, but they actually highlight how little they understand about business. More "revenue", which the WNBA does have (not much though), going to the players, means less money going to the owners, which means that the owners would loss even more money then they are already.
Well, revenue is the top line, not net income. But yes, a business has to generate money bottom line, before sharing of the pie talk happens.
Well said, man! I really want to support ladies in basketball, soccer and other team sports at a pro level, but they need to be entertaining !!!!! Women out there, you don't need to undress yourselves and don't compare to men or play like them, just do things your way and make it appealing!!!
If they got paid a percentage of what the league makes they would owe the league money.
College players don’t want to enter the draft until they play all 6 years of college - that says enough for me
They also are cutting the young girls early. You would think the league would make it a point to keep them on to at least feed off their hype coming out of college but narh..... I guess
@@isaacasamoa927 true. They need to adjust the game, or they need to adjust the way they operate. Something has to give. Can’t expect to just take take take take with all this whining. Not to mention most families have not adopted this Gay Agenda/Lesbian Agenda the United States is pushing…so that means homes with Men as Dads refuse to take their daughters to those games to see women dressed as men and kissing women and being in relationships with women on their social medias (because young fans will follow socials of players they admire). I know of house holds with single mothers as well who refuse to go to the games because of that. They rather take them to NBA so they can see men act like men do men things, so their daughters can like things about a player that are in line with their beliefs. I personally don’t have an opinion either way, in terms of the specialization of the WNBA toward being masculine. I only wonder if the game was more adept to their abilities overall, it would be good for fans. Yes there is a group of 3 women who can dunk, but the other 2,600 players can’t. The ball is smaller, make the rim bigger, bring the basket lower, make the court shorter and add a 4 point spot on each wing of the court. And every time a woman makes 5 shots in a row weather lay ups or jump shot, give them “On Fire” extra point. Have to try something….because this is not working. 30 years have proven that.
An education might pay more
@@danieltdavis9788 - NIL pays more than WNBA
Wait, 6?
Coaches should lower the rims before practice to 9.5 ft and see if there is a difference in their games. If you're a professional athlete, you should be able to adjust to whatever is thrown at you. The WNBA players, most of them, are delusional but, I'm sure that there are some that agree with the lowered rim solution. They are probably afraid of the backlash they'll most likely receive from their peers
Just kills me how they draw the damn line at the rim thing when they already play with a smaller ball, shorter 3-point lines and play for less amount of time compared to men during an individual game.
@@nothingreallyrhymeswithora9377right
😂😂😂😂😂 fisher price basketball goal level for them
I say 9.3 ft just to give them a little extra advantage. Women have compensate for both the lack of height and the lack of vertical, average height in wnba is half a foot less than the WNBA, and the average vertical is 9 inches less than the average NBA vertical. So the WNBA is on average at almost a foot and a half disadvantage when comparing height + vertical
@@stevenscummy1458 9ft even and call it a day.
Plus they've followed some of these ladies to streetball games and proven that a lot of outdoor courts vary from 9.5-10.3ft in height. It's never exact and players adjust.
If women got paid based on Wnba revenue they would owe the league money 😂
The #1 thing plaguing the WNBA is an enormous lack of self-awareness of its players. I support women’s sports and always will but you can’t force people to like it or financially support it. It has to be desirable to watch.
Who's forcing you to watch the WNBA? I want names.
I am completely oblivious to it, and I don't see anyone trying to shame me into watching it.
@@ctormin He said it badly but I think what he means is when they complain about viewership or money they have this sense of entitlement, that they deserve the perks no matter what the product is like. Which is dumb lol
The WNBA has only 1 problem: A profitability problem.
Those who are gay almost always lack self-awareness. Entire wnba is gay so that’s why they are all arrogant and have no self-awareness they have no shame

I met a player, named Beard? In Korea. We were getting our hair, micro braided. Super Sweet. We didn't talk about Basketball at all. They don't fill overseas either, back then. You NEVER will. Not even if the tickets are free. I think I went to one, it was in Grammer school. We watched them and asked them questions afterwards. People asked them to do Globetrotters tricks. "Can you..."

crazy realization when that failed alley-oop was during an all star game🥲
When something isn't working, you need to make some kind of change. The unwillingness to adapt is agreeing with failure. I guess it's easier to make excuses and play the victim than to actually change something. Even if they don't want to lower the rim, they have to acknowledge something needs to change
Also 75% of the players are masculine LGBT chicks. Who wants watch a bunch of women chest bumping, wearing baggy clothes and pretending to be men? The girls also get their attitudes from 🍆 envy. Their pride gets in the way.

I don't understand the point that they want a bigger share of league revenue when the league loses money. If the NBA wasn't subsidizing them the WNBA would've folded long ago. Are they willing to pay to play until the league is financially viable? 25% of nothing and 50% of nothing are the same number, nothing.
$$$$ Talks. They don't care about the logistics..they just want to get more and more money like anyone else. They just don't care or know that they actually have to work for it. They want to keep doing what they are already doing and get paid more for nothing. They don't care where the money comes from. It's like when you hand a 5 year old $20. Yes that's a lot until they use it all and then want more..the five year old doesn't care how you got that money, don't care what you did for it, they just want more. They have no concept of hard work or the value of money. Same thing here. Their checks are handed to them..if it came from their own hard work they would not be so entitled, like a 5 year old. They would understand they have to do something to make that $$$.
Math is r **ist & s**ist😂😂😂
Revenue is not the same as profit/loss. The WNBA does make revenue off of ticket sales, merchandise, concessions, advertising, tv deals, etc. What they don't do is turn a profit because they spend more than they make in revenue, which is where the NBA comes in to bail them out. The women want the WNBA to give a share of the revenue BEFORE they pay their bills, in essence making the WNBA lose astronomically more money each season than they already are. No one ever accused these ladies of having logic or reason backing their ideas.
@@Cynthorrpg1bra,everything u said was basic economics. What did these bops do in school?
The reason that WNBA do not like the idea of dropping the hoop down is because they already get belittled for having a smaller ball, closer three point line and smaller court. Meaning that some people will always be rude and criticise their achievements. At the end of the day, this is a women’s league why should it have to replicate a men’s game to be entertaining. I play other sports that both men and women play like Aussie rules football, where instead of following the mold of the men’s game, the women use different tactics and strategies to play. It doesn’t make the game less entertaining, it’s just a different game. Also women sports is finally catching up to men’s sport in the way that it’s getting more competitive at a young age, which leads to more skilled and athletic players. But in saying that there are still many ways in funding that the girls sport is lacking. I coached a girls team to a grand final win, yet they still receive less funding and resources than the boys team which didn’t place top 6.
Also I feel like the WNBA should have been the same teams as the men’s, it’s been successful across the world keeping the same names. It means that a supporter of the Warriors for the men’s doesn’t have to buy new gear or find a new loyalty in a team, they can just start supporting the women’s. Idk why they didn’t do that.
I have seen some of those games . They can't go above the rim much less make a go three point shot or under the rim shot .
I say let em get the percentage.. matter fact give em 50% of the revenue.... They gonna be mad when instead of a check they get a bill😬
Exactly 💯 this shows you how illogical to these females are. There losing money not making any money.
A little over 10 years ago, I got free WNBA tickets for a Sacramento Monarchs game. My daughter said, "No, I'm Okay." Keep in mind. The Kings sucked and the Monarchs just won the championship the previous year.
Women don't watch sports in general, they wouldn't even have known. It's like, none of my gfs got excited for a marvel film because it was female lead. They still didn't care because women generally don't! SMH. I'd buy a WBNA ticket if all the women in the league came out against feminism and glorifying where culture. Like, be WORTH attention instead of whining about it.
I remember that. I lived in Sacramento but I didn't even know the monarchs won the championship.
That Lisa Leslie dunk 25 years ago was awesome!! They need more of that!!!
One dunk here or there will not do it.
It's the "artistry" of the dunks that draw the fans (and their $$) to the NBA.
Until the WNBA moves to that level of play, they will continue to have the number of fans they have.
The NBA today looks different from where it started. Rules were changed to bring in a wider audience. Three point line. No more discrimination. Breakaway rims. Better shoes. Shot clock. Owners investment in players and facilities. Pros in Olympics. Foreign players. These things took time and dedication if they wanted the league to survive. Good luck WNBA but I don't believe in it
What's crazy is that when you compare the clip of Lisa Leslie dunking to all the other more recent clips, you can see a noticeably large difference in audience attendance
They shrink the court for almost all sports in non-pro leagues (kids/teens/amateurs).
Hpw cam u ask for the same percentage when u haven't been around long enough and constantly in the red every year?
The WNBA got a huge boost because of sports prop gambling. With little competition MLB and WNBA are the sports to bet on during the summer.
That’s a good point
Whose gonna make the odds when no one watches .. it's all a crap shoot lol
V
@@criticaljacques2237that’s why you always go under on everything, Gilbert arenas goes under on almost every stat he sees a spread for and hits 60% of the time.
Yeah if you’re a gambling addict… betting makes most things fun to watch, but I still couldn’t watch this trash
Most of the WNBA players have an attitude problem when regular people and people that know the game wants to give their opinions on how the league can be fixed but the main issue here with this WNBA players is that even Woman don't back them up is a boring league and that's the TRUTH
I was never a WNBA fan, but I would at least tune in if nothing better was on, once a year maybe.
Then that one player disrespected Andre Iguodala with serious attitude AFTER HE TRIED TO COMPLIMENT HER PLAY.
After that I swore it off permanently...true, NBA players aren't all good people, but at least the basketball is fun to watch. But the WNBA's crappy people AND crappy basketball? Nah, I'll just nap from now on.
I have literally never played in an organized league. However, i was asked to practice with the local women's college team because of my height, then got asked to leave because they couldn't score on me and it wasn't "realistic". But yeah, they are definitely on par with the men lol.
You are stating facts tho 😂😂
Women Dunking on other Women would be Hella Entertaining🔥🔥
They complain that they dont want to change the rim to make it easier to play. Nobody points out the fact that the wnba ball is slightly smaller and lighter than the nba ball. This is to make it easier to dribble and pass, and easier for the ball to get in the hoop. They just need to make it easier to dunk. Nobody would lose respect for them and the game would become waaay more enjoyable
Can't lose what you didn't have.
What respect
@@tyeash7822 lol
I heard someone say, “they play with a smaller ball, their 3 point line is closer… but they draw the line at lowering the rim?!” They also play less games, less playoff games & a shorter seasons… and they talking about “equal pay?!” 😂
That Scotty pippin dunk was nasty work
I love the delusion and in your face attitude of WNBA players. Keep on doing what they do.
And yet....many wnba players go out of their way to BE men. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can't fix stupid
@@cpthetrucker9067yep. They act like the biggest frat bros far more than anyone in the nba
@@bryantsteury8910 exactly. "Bro" women like Bob G, Diana T and Kelsey Plum are just a couple of examples; not to mention the players who have literally had their bodies surgically altered to look like men.
We had a WNBA player visit our college class way back in 2002. I asked her about lowering the rim and she handled it very well. I don't recall her exact answer, but she didn't act offended or anything like that. She was chill. Times have changed.
Dam you’re old dude
rather than ask them about lowering the rim as this could trigger a lot but how about ask when are we going to start seeing the excitement of dunks like the NBA does?
It won’t happen because women on average are shorter and have slower twitch muscles so lowering the rim is actually the right thing to do ,NBA was tailored for men , the size of the ball,the time and the rim were tailored for men ,they should do the same thing for women which in my opinion lower the rim and decrease the size of the ball will only help the excitement in the WNBA .
@Omar-kl3xp the ten foot rim was meant for an average sized person. The NBA should raise it at least a foot to better fit the athletes in the pros.
@pyramidion5911 this was masterclass trolling, and you almost got me
I want to league and it's athletes to flourish but as it stands they won't unless changes are made. I can't see any impactful adjustments happening any time soon though, which is unfortunate.
Lowering the ring would force the players to change the way they shoot, some may adapt but mist likely most player will have a hard time because they are used to shooting in a high ring
Not making major changes to failing business is baffling
They even increased the number of games played from 30something to 40.
Took my family to a WNBA game a couple years ago, worst attitudes ive seen in sports besides the USA women's soccer team(shocking I know) The next problem was that there was nobody in the stands and whatever your picturing it was less, much less. Finally my kids who (two girls and one boy) all play basketball, seriously thought it was some kind of opposite world Globetrotters i believe my daughter called it, because where as the Globetrotters make everything and are all fancy with amazing ball control,this was not that! Not that at all! Missing open shots, layups, turn overs,even free throws weren't made consistently. To this day my kids are older and know about the WNBA and its a huge topic at family get togethers about how we warped into another dimension and watched an opposite world basketball game lol
It's funny how the women's sports that contain the highest concentration of lesbians than any other profession in the world also happens to contain the most self-absorbed, delusional, unlikeable, and entitled athletes on the face of the earth.
The fact the WNBA is a point of discussion at family get togethers for you is concerning
Attitude is a factor in many occupations, and a bad attitude turns EVERYONE off.
So what is their main reason for not wanting to lower the rim for dunking?
Imagine losing your boss millions of dollars a year do to lack of performance but then asking for a raise 😂
this is the generation coming up expecting mandatory raise.
@@PWCDN bruh what are you on about? We're asking to be able to earn enough to survive the never stopping inflation and buy houses. Is there really a problem with that?
@@whalefall413 Find another job then like 99 % of the rest of us have to do. WNBA is and always has been a money pit. If not for the NBA there would be no wnba.
I do sympathize with them. It must suck being the best of the best at something in your gender while still being worse than some high school boys. Especially as an athlete. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
not really, you think Serina Williams think that????
@@lincolnjeon2666 ya shes admitted in her prime she thought she’d be ranked in around 800th in the world for mens

@@lincolnjeon2666 It's a biological fact that women are just not as athletic as men. It's literal science.
10:00 -OMG that dunk was vicious. That man will never recover psychologically
They all hear Lose Yourself in their heads. "You only get one shot. Do not miss yor chance...."
There’ve been 23 triple doubles TOTAL in 27 wnba seasons. That’s astonishing. Not exactly an electric factory.
they always say “but the fundamentals are great”
lmao middle school games are more exciting than wnba
Can't get assists if the players can't shoot. They can't shoot for shit.
She really tried to throw a alley oop lay up in the highlight before the 2:00 mark😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know you addressed it, but really think about the Candace Parker and Shaq clip. What she was saying was absolutely meaningless and based on ZERO reality. It’s like a Nobel prize winner telling someone “this is how you win the Nobel prize” and them saying “No. No. My kids will just be smart enough to get one one day”
What a humiliating mindset.
6:07 Yo, that logic was straight fire.
How the NBA hasn’t said okay do it yourself then is beyond me
I'm sure some accounting magic makes the loss lower their tax burden or something 😂
@@JohnDoe-zw8vxyou got that one right! I don’t believe for one second that the wnba even pulls the numbers this guy said they did
One of the male players should sue for sex discrimination.
They're in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. As soon as they cut it loose, people would come out of the woodwork to complain that women aren't supported - people who never watch a single game, mind you. So the NBA just pays the small "tax" to prop it up. What's mind-blowing is that more in the WNBA don't see this and have the sense to take what they get from the NBA. And if they want more, figure out how to do it by making their league more exciting. Instead, they exploit the tenuous link to the NBA at every opportunity to guilt more money for their players. It's just professional gold digging.
They'd never hear the end of it.
its funny that they keep complaining about our push for them to get more dunks in their game but i think they dont want to add it because theyre scared of dealing with lob threats and more schemes that require you to gaurd air space as well as floor space
That’s a very real possibility. Entitled people usually want all the benefits without actually having to put in the work
Your overthinking it way too much their just stubborn bitches pissed off because their not as good as men!
When you do a lay up and get a air ball that is disrespecting the rim 😂😂😂
I think we just do what should have been done a while ago and get rid of the thing that only loses 10s of millions a year. If its not making money there is no reason for it to still be here. Would solve all these issues pretty quickly.
As somebody who doesn’t watch the wnba, you are 100% correct. Just watching those clips of wnba players makes me not even want to give it a chance.
Let one guy play for each team. I'd watch that.
He can claim to be trans or whatever lol
@@GeronimoPlazWhich begs the question. Why haven't we seen any trans men entering the WMBA like we see them do in other female only sports? These women seems to be okay with TM taking over women only sport, how will the act if they enter the WMBA? 🤔
i don’t mean to rude but there’s just a way that men’s ball is played that just has so much more finesse and style. you rarely see airballs in HS varsity or even JV games but you see tons in professional women’s basketball. at my highschool the girls air ball more than the guys make threes, and we shoot 50% as a team
@@GeronimoPlaz so Brittney Griner? lol
@@GeronimoPlazI think trans women are the only thing that can truly save the WNBA. Needs to become a league dominated by biological men.
Everytime i watch a game there's about 20 air balls and about 30 missed layups🙄
Why would you subject yourself to watching in the first place? It’d rather watch paint dry lol
Lol I wonder if they be thinking Kobe/MJ with the post fades 😂😂 just to airball
Well said.🔥🔥🔥
Ive actually watched a few games for the first time this year and its worse than i thought! Its HILARIOUS!
Bro me and my homies have it a chance and it was a comedy show 🤦🏽♂️
I've sat and watched entire games of the old middle school teams "north coast blue chips" which had bronny James, Mikey Williams and etc and enjoyed it. And I also regularly watch entire games of men's highschool games. I've tried the WNBA and turned It off after a quarter shit was ass and I never clicked on anothe WNBA game
@lomasuros exactly... it's such am insulting joke... if "Equality" really was the GOAL, they would be told the TRUTH... if MEN were THAT bad, there wouldn't be a league!!!
They also have a serious attitude problem.
The problem with her suggestion/request of the WNBA getting paid the same percentage of revenue as the NBA is insulting in itself & it’s insulting to people who have baseline intelligence/common sense on the game of basketball!lol,smfh REALTALK 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🏀🏀🏀⏳⏳⏳…..
Honestly I think if they lowered the rim to 9.5 feet you’d only get maybe a another 12 dunks a year. Women vertical is like 14 inches.
Need to lower that rim to 8 feet
WNBA is UNINTENTIONALLY HILARIOUS!!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE OUT HAND OUTS TO ENTITLE-MINDED PPL.
The lack of any fans or ticket buying humans is a big problem for the WNBA.
There is a college boys basketball game being played at the same time a wnba game which game would you go to? i would actually chose a boys highschool basketball game over a wnba game lol😂
You've hit the nail on the head and the rim height discussion just highlights it. It's an attitude problem. The women want to play like the men and they suck at it. Lowering the rim would absolutely help the women be more exciting like the men, but I don't feel like that's the solution. They'll always be worse than the men and college for that reason.
The women need to embrace what has historically made the women's game great. The disparity between the best and worst player on the floor is much much smaller. They cannot run the iso-game because there aren't enough dominant women to do it and help defense exists. What has made the women's game entertaining for years is how team oriented it has been. Some people say it's a focus on fundamentals, but it's more that it's old school team basketball. Quick passes, drive and dish, help defense, etc. all make for a more entertaining product. While the NBA and NCAAM are pushing for superstars to have highlights, the women can market themselves are pure old school basketball. Nobody is ever going to watch an inferior product by choice, but they will watch a slightly different product because it offers something different.
The problem is, the individuals want to be superstars and not just team players. They're so focused on status that they've lost sight of sport.
As a side note, ticket prices need to come down, efforts need to be made to interact with fans, and they need to humble themselves to the fact they are going to have to work and do fan outreach to grow the sport. Soccer, men's and women's, does this. Minor League teams do it. If you don't have the fanbase, you need to go make one.
!!!!!!!
This is the answer. Lowering the rim to 9.5 is good.
But until the wnba realizes that their product isn't the same as the NBA, it won't matter.
What made the women's tournament in March 2023 so great was because we saw great teams of one play style go up against a great team with a different play style.
For fans of basketball, it was fascinating and fun to watch.
We were watching teams play. We weren't watching super stars. Though, that was how they tried to market the final 4. It wasn't about that LSU girl versus that Iowa girl.
It was about those 2 really good teams and how they matched up against the rest of of the feild.
I've tried to watch the wnba. It's unwatchable. It's not a team game. It's trash.
They need to get college coaches and let them really recruit to their philosophy.
@@carpedm5107 and I'm sure you'll say mostly the same about the NBA. It's not a team game and it's not really basketball. But it's the best and most exciting at what it is which is why it gets watched still.
I aint reading all this
"I DON'T WANT PEACE! I WANT PROBLEMS ALWAYS!!!" LOL
Let's be completely honest, if they played is short shorts & tighter shirts like volleyball they'd do better numbers.
