As a woman who is a fan of the WNBA and women’s sports in general, I agree with a lot of the points you make here Alex.
Firstly, I agree that trying to guilt trip people into watching women’s sports is a terrible way to grow the game and only dilutes the real value of what the players have to offer. There is always going to be the extreme minority of people who believe women shouldn’t play sports, but this is not the main reason for any lack of commercial success. As much as we love to see the absolute best of the best players compete against each other, that isn’t the only way people gain enjoyment from sports. People love college, high school, and even amateur level sports because seeing people compete at their best will always be entertaining. Women will never be men, and there is no point in trying to compare them. Serena Williams is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but it makes no sense trying to compare her to a Federer because there is simply a biological difference that can’t be changed.
Nevertheless, sports is a business, and if you create an entertaining product, people will watch. The WNBA has an advantage of being a highly exclusive league that plays basketball at a time when the nba season has mostly concluded. If they focus on highlighting the amazing personalities (which do exist if you’ve ever seen Aja Wilson play or speak) and creating a strong narrative story around the best players and teams, it can succeed.
Crazy how many people think you are attacking women’s sports when you clearly want it to succeed. Acknowledging the reasons why it’s less popular is very different from hating.
Yep there is nothing wrong with stating the facts (unless ur IQ is that of a bird)
Facts
Same ones saying he is attacking them most likely support trannies in women's sports.
Because there are a lot of insecure girls out there. What's even weirder is the GUYS who somehow took offense to it 🤨
Who wants to bet that most of the commenters from the last video have spent more time arguing this topic than watching WNBA games?
Alex is a class act. I don’t get how people are attacking this guy, there are so many worse people to worry about.
Obviously not a sexist😂 People are so quick to throw that label around these days!
Love you mcnaughty
Because people like having reasons to bitch and whine and feel victimized lol
look who's talking. we have receipts on you too, stop while you're ahead before you catch the next read.

17:43 with all due respect Catlin Clark would fry you bro 😭
If he plays normally, physically and everything else he could probably do it.
he has a chance for sure
@@itchyhairyballs123 if she gets the ball once he’s not getting it back
With all due respect I think people quickly forget how much of an advantage men have in curtain sports. Without seeing Alex play, anyone who’s been hooping their entire lives and can dunk the ball at 6’1 ( as a white guy too) is probably gonna be able to beat most professional women in one on one. The defensive pressure alone is enough to secure the bag and she’s not locking him down. He has her beat in every category except shooting. There’s a massive skill gap and people forget that when they watch her drain 3s from the logo on other girls.
Curtain sports 💀@@Southforthewinter
damn after watching for x amount of years i finally got the ick
Bro doubled down on business 😭
That is the longest asmr ad read I've skipped past
of course ppl got mad, that’s how everyone acts online these days when someone has a different opinion/take than them. i wasn’t offended dude. i couldn’t care less. nothing you said was crazy 🤷🏾♀️

“Nah ya see im talkin facts here, i don’t do if, buts or maybes, I do absolutes. Like if yer aunt had balls she’d be ur uncle, but she doesn’t, so she’s not.
Ya know what I’m tryna say?”
Only football fans will know
A female cousin of mine pretty consistently beats me at bball. Ive been playing for as long as I could remember. I’m physically better than my cousin but her technicality gives her an edge. And don’t get me wrong I’m competitive, I don’t care who I’m against I want to win. This is the issue I’m trying to bring up, Alex identifies all the basketball capabilities of catlin plain and simple. He’s confident in his ability, should he not be? We all have our opinions, it’s not sexist to think you could beat an individual person from the opposite sex at a 1 v 1
Great video, thanks for the logic and the relaxation. Loving this series
dude don't say your ugly your like fucking beautiful
Excited to watch! Perfect timing!
Bro said there are outliers. Then said Serena Williams and listed off 10 names I have never heard of.😂
Until people accept the fact that women and men are different in many ways, both having and edge of the other in different areas, people will victimize themselves and other women. By throwing the word sexism out anytime you disagree or refuse to accept what someone has to say about the biological difference between men and women, you are in turn victimizing women as a whole and humiliating other women that have worked hard to become the best in their women’s sports. Women refusing to make changes to the game to allow women’s sports to become more entertaining to defend their own ego is only the fault of their own. Sports that are highly dependent on teams and intense physical activity and technique are mainly dominated by men. Take soccer for example. Women’s soccer is extremely lackluster. From the touch of the players, the shot power, stamina and especially the intensity and defending, it’s extremely unenjoyable for someone to watch a regular season game. It’s not to say that those women aren’t good athletes, because they are and they worked hard to get to the top, but for soccer fans or die hard fans of soccer, it’s unwatchable. For casual viewers it’s very enjoyable. We need to stop comparing men and women sports and embrace the fact they are different and both have different strengths. Men and women are different but equal. People that say stuff like what Alex mentioned aren’t sexist or saying women aren’t equal to men and men are superior, they are just explaining that men and women are different, BUT EQUAL. That’s all. People need to just stop turning it to fit their agenda and victimizing themselves. That is not how women’s sports will succeed.
YESSSS JUST IN TIME
Bruh...you're a stud. Whoever said lighting couldn't fix your face needs to look in a mirror! lol
facts broski is hot no homo
Kind of weird that out of all the things he's covered in the last 2 videos, THATS the one thing you decide to focus/comment on lol 🤨
@@Jaybivbecause he’s right and there’s honestly not much to add to the conversation.
And he’s fucking hot so why not talk about that
@@Jaybiv Selective attention. That just happened to be the first thing I actually paid attention to. 🤣
@@Jaybivto be fair someone attacking his personal looks as a way to better their argument is something to comment about. Even if you don’t agree with what he says attacking the way he looks cuz you don’t like his opinion is wild. And he’s right bro is put together and handsome lol
5 minute ad read is crazy
Yes!!! He's here!!!!😊 thankyou!!!
Alex,
Great video, I think you explained everything well with facts to back up your arguments and I agree with you .sorry you have many people coming at you.
Another prominent woman 0:01 athlete to check out is Mikaela Shiffrin who is a professional downhill skier, the best ever in my opinion.
I’m content with just listening to the ad portion, lol. Great ASMR stuff. Keep it up! 👍🏼
I completely love this video and the fact that you stood on the things you said in your last video. I agree with basically every point besides the fact of generalizing that every person does also feel the same. I’ve seen some sexist stuff and I can agree you aren’t sexist especially now after hearing your full perspective. But sadly there are a ton of people out there who treat women poorly especially in the sports industry. But I think that you are a kind person and have good values and aren’t that type of person and others around you aren’t either.
Love the video ❤
Time to tingle 🌟✨
Yo with all the new jerseys in the nfl, u should make another jersey ranking
Can you do a video discussing this season: Finals/playoff predictions, your thoughts on the awards, disappointing/ exceeding players/ team, etc
Your basketball content is top tier always
You don’t miss bro only dubs
I understand your argument and agree but i don't think men have superior skills, they have superior strength - the word skill just undermines the work women put into their craft😭
Men def have superior skill ur dumb
Men are faster, stronger, and more athletic than women genetically which equates to skill
For example if someone is faster, jumps higher, and is overall better than you at the sport than they have more skill.
Men are better than women in athletics it not a bad thing but it’s just true.
It’s arguable. I played against a WNBA player before and I beat her damn near every time. I played against NBA and overseas players in 5 on settings and actually went toe to toe. From my experiences at least for women depends on position, men on the other hand regardless of position they play have skill cuz of the competition
Nah, it's not just strength. Skill is correct. It doesn't undermine anything, you just have insecurity or ego issues if the facts make you feel undermined somehow. It doesn't mean "women flat out suck at sports" bc that's not true. But when it comes down to the numbers, it's a clear cut answer. And when Alex was talking about the many cases where world class women's athletes are beaten by 15 year old boys, it really drives the point home. 15 and under boys do not have have a substantial strength advantage over grown, world class female athletes.
Isn't that undermining the hard work that men put into their craft? I get your point, but it's hypocritical.
You're flat wrong. Men have much better fine motor skills, spacial awareness, power, speed etc.. That why they're better drivers too
You’re not wrong bro.
Alex 🤝 stirring the pot
THE GOATTT
5:38 the starting of the video
It’s not gonna succeed bc the older players feel threatened by the new wave. I mean all of the players in the wnba now have just been shitting on Clark bc they are scared when they should be praising her for bringing so much attention to the league
sounds like the way women behave socially
Had to watch the Bill Burr joke on the WNBA after this
Well said 👏
He stood on business
facts
Caitlin Clark would cook you bro☠️ her 3 point shot has crazy range and she’s accurate.
She wouldn’t be able to get her shot off against men like she does against women
My man would fs cook CC in a 1 on 1
Bro doubled down and hit us with the 5 minute ad
Meh. Nowadays people will grt offended even by the fact that you eat eggs for breakfast so just spit facts.
Im sure people with common sense will subscribe with you
💯
People are going to be upset as long as they misunderstand reality. Human beings admire different things about women than they admire about men (and vice versa). You mentioned Ronda Rousey-Rousey didn’t just light the world on fire because she was a good fighter; she was also really attractive (especially early on), appearing in body magazines and on bedroom posters. People love to watch gymnastics and figure skating and beach volleyball when the Olympics come along…why? Because most of the athletes are beautiful. Women’s tennis-look at some of the beautiful women who play tennis. And you can see this all throughout life…not just in sports. Women singers and actresses usually have to be beautiful to succeed; this isn’t true for men. Women CEOs and even politicians wear makeup and beautify their hair and all that, whereas men can get away with a lot less. This isn’t just some coincidence or matter of preference-it reflects deep psychological realities about how people see women and what they want from them. It also works in women’s favor: a woman who is especially beautiful can gain notoriety in her field even with a lower level of skill than a man could ever hope to. Look at someone like Anna Kournikova. Obviously she was a great player, but she won zero singles titles and was never ranked top five in her entire career, but she became a household name as a tennis player. Why? You don’t have to think too hard about it.
On this issue (and a lot of others), people would be a lot happier if they would just look honestly at reality and quit trying to force, guilt trip, and argue the world into being something it’s not. Women have a unique capacity for beauty, just like men have a unique capacity for athleticism. People admire greatness when they see it. So: women are admired for their beauty and men are admired for their athleticism. It’s not really all that hard to understand.
Five minute sponsor😂
I was one of the people who commented on the last video, and maybe I was a little harsh in my words, I don't think you're sexist based on the things you show here on CZcams, although I don't agree with some things you said on the last video. I'm not North American, so I don't know how things work there, but here in Brazil, what is very clear in the difference between men's and women's sports is a matter of investment, and yes, I believe that part of this lack of investment is due to sexism, and I say this based on the world we live in, after all, the gender pay gap exists in any area.
The difference between men’s and women’s sports is athletic ability buddy. Men are vastly physically superior when it comes to speed, jumping, strength, etc…
I mean a pay gap exists because the nba is more popular and generates more money than the wnba and also if you better at the sport of course your gonna get payed more. There is no wnba player that would beat an nba player if we are being real.
@@dominiclopez9676hella factual, the pay gap in majority of businesses is not bc someone is simply a women it’s bc men are more likely to either do the dirtier jobs or just work more on average, it’s just simple statistics
oh so you're one of the weirdos that I commented about, a guy who got offended by women's sports being boring lol 😂
@@Jaybivyou sound 14
Please get on spotify
Alex vs Catlin Clark. I really don’t think people should be this pressed, with all do respect that’s his opinion and you can have yours but that’s not the problem here. She’s an amazing player in general, she probably wouldn’t even be offended if she were to see this (seeing this as banta) so there’s really no need to stick up for her or get offended as he’s not depreciating her achievements or any female athletes for that matter
I’ve never heard someone be so correct on a topic, I 100% agree
Please collab w mellownaddyasmr you guys have the best clicky whispers
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💤
There are more women than men in the US. But NBA numbers are 100x more popular. So if the women supported their own league then it would be more popular but they’d rather cry about sexism
Nothing but facts
ayo pookie
first
We wanna sss you play basketball now
i love ur content but nothing about softball is individual nothing u said was right. lol
Every sport has some aspect of individual skill…. 😭
Just before I head off to bed, thanks Alex...😅
also don't listen to these kinds of people.. those who found your takes to be offensive are mostly just left wing snowflakes who lack any sense of logic. The reason why women's sports make less money is very clear.. its because not as many people watch it because its boring (not that I watch sports myself but I'd rather watch mens sports than women's) and that's not because we're all sexist, misogynists... no, its because sports are designed to be a man's game; they're aggressive, masculine and dare I say, more professional at these sports. Its like getting offended over someone stating the clear facts that a man is stronger and faster than a woman and to further state just how obvious this reality is, regarding being faster - a top track female runner posted to TikTok about how some random guy off the street wasn't as fast as her and yet he was just a few feet behind her.. NEARLY beating her in her own 50 meter warm up and he was a RANDOM GUY, she was a TOP RUNNING ATHLETE in the US if im not wrong. People just have to accept that mens sports are just superior but that doesnt mean that women can't do a good job and it *doesn't* mean there isn't any entertainment you can get from it. People need to stop crying.
Bro said people need to stop crying while writing an essay crying about other peoples opinions
@@tynolon4177what on earth... brother I'm engaging in the conversation, providing context and examples.. to sum up my "essay" as crying just implicates to everyone that you're either butthurt or chose not to even read it 😂
Why not read it? dont sound like crying to me @@tynolon4177
@@tynolon4177 by this logic sufficients whole vid is crying cause he talks about his reasons for over 30 mins with great detail just like OP above
@@lasloburkins. exactly.. if I'm crying then so is Alex and so is everyone else who has a lengthy response to this. Basically if you don't have much of a reply to these people, they think they won a debate.. if you reply with plenty of irrefutable logic and knowledge.. you're crying. Make it make sense.😂
Clark fosho got a bush
ahh yes more of what I needed- a man explaining sexism, what a bore.
He didn’t explain sexism. But of course you didn’t notice that at all
How is he "explaining sexism"?
@@Southforthewinter I didn’t think I would have to clarify sexism (or lack thereof). He is literally saying sexism is not a significant factor, which is a hilarious claim backed up with no evidence besides “ I read some things somewhere”.
Nah just a fact men are better at sports than women it’s not that deep
No one would rather watch wnba games over nba games because they are just not as good and it’s just not as good it’s that simple
I have a bit of a different point of view. I played singles badminton on a competitive level with both men and women. (I’m a female) not only are their different level of athleticism (the men’s smashes were 100% stronger) but their like whole different games. Against men it’s a lot of offence defence, against women it’s a lot of individual strategy. I found that their were more time before points in women’s games. It’s really interesting. I think maybe a reason to why men’s teams beat women’s teams is because their used to the way that they play, and when they play against their norm it’s different. Idk just a different point of view.
Its all ❤ with alex🫶
