When WNBA was launched out of the 8 teams most of them were named around thier NBA team like Houston Comets, Sacramento Monarchs, Orlando Miracle, LA Sparks & Chatlotte Sting.
Ive been watching WNBA way back when they were on LIFETIME and 27 years later theyre entering a new era around Caitlin Clark & Angel Reese
Miami Sol
@@heydudedolfan13 I knew Miami had a team but forgot the name. Also the Phoenix Mercury
Nothing stupid about it at all, they're obviously just saying the fans in those cities would have a built in fandom and a sort of familiarity with the team, They exist off the NBA anyway, now not getting that is pretty stupid.
Just a little sidenote here.... tonight, the very first PWHL (hockey) playoff game was a sold out event.
I mean, I definitely see the argument for having their own names, and creating their own identity. But this argument isn't crazy. If they shared a name, it would probably come with some subconscious fandom.
I think this show is starting to reach a bit. Can't he outraged about everything.
Women's basketball always gets crap for not being physical enough that's why a lot of people crap on it
Where are videos on how awful this new Arena Football League is treating their players, coaches, team staff, etc? The league is in their third week and four teams already folded!! What the shame as the original AFL was something to watch back in the day
Bingo Rick no one cares you finally get it
The WNBA is more popular now because they have stars that people care about. They earned it. Imagine that. They didn’t have to guilt us into caring about the WNBA. They made us care about it with better play
Yes, and also the NBA was not profitable for many decades.
LMFAO The WNBA is only getting pub now Because Caitlin Clark arrived and GTFO with "they didn't guilt us" BS, All they've been doing for years is whining that no one cares and how they don't get paid enough and don't get to travel like the leagues that actually make money.
@@leftsmith280That's a lie.
@@ZavaXavier It's clear you didn't check. The NBA began in 1949. Look up how many teams operated at a loss and for how long.
@@leftsmith280 I checked and definitely know the history of the NBA way better than you pal. Also It's clear you a troll likes to spew illogical nonsense
I don't know the finances...but IF the WNBA is losing money, than I think making the teams like Lady Lakers would be a good idea to bring more eyes to the sport and maybe more seats filled in the arenas....IF the WNBA is break even/ profitable or even losing a little...than I would think it would be best to stay "separate" with the names.
Yeah let the women have their own entity.
The USFL and other men’s leagues didn’t associate with the local NFL teams.
Women's sports have become very important here in Canada. They are always outperforming our men's teams on the international stage. 😊
Bargain for a double bill.
Think about it.
Give fans two games for the price of one.
Let women have summers off again when they have children off school much like the men.
Just a reminder that Rick promoted an intramural league with lowered basketball hoops.
Sooo...the WWizards? WKings? WBucks? WCavaliers? I don't think they thought this all the way through. Stupidity indeed.
You're being even more sexist than them. A female wizard is a witch. A female king is a queen and a female buck as far as I know is a Doe.
I would have wrote whole nother level. But anyways thats an old key and peele sketch from mad tv.
Well, the league has never made a profit. Perhaps new strategies are needed. In fact, new ideas to market the WNBA are much needed.
The strategy should be Clark, Clark, more Clark and Clark. The top top selling games all feature Clark, She's their shot at having a Bird, Magic or MJ type that takes the league to the next level the way those three did the NBA.
Womens NCAA is extremely popular.
I want Rick to talk about Tom Brady Roast.
Why?
He said should’ve so that is past tense. You are presenting it like he said rebrand the whole league.
Now you know how I feel about MLS. More than half are name FC but got no problem
I get it soccer league like Liga MX and im all for it except WNBA has been around for 27 years
I think this is sexist, pure and simple. They are essentially saying that women's teams are just derivative of men's teams and that mindset is so unbelievably toxic.
Do you live a pure and simple life?
@@OhhMyyDogg How is that even remotely relevant? Are you apologizing for men who think women's teams don't deserve their own name? Please say yes so I can ignore the remainder of your opinion.
@@evey89
Pureness and Simplicity arent the virtues you portray them to be. Thats why I ask if you live a pure and simple life.
If I am using the same key terms. How can it not relate?
@@OhhMyyDogg Wow. Way to totally miss the point AND not even sort of answer my question. Seriously, just stop. You have already convinced me you aren't worth my time and effort with your truly absurd straw man argument. I'm done suffering you.
@@evey89
I'm really sorry the Buy one get two free sale isnt quite going on. I'm not going to entertain three questions at a time.
I got an idea. You answer one of mine.
Absolutely terrible take and not surprisingly filled with emotions and hurt feelings, this is 2024.... I'm a huge sports fan I can't name one woman's NBA team that would be away for me to at least know they exist. How many years have they been around and they are still floating off somewhere in obscuritiy, subsidized and not watched... So dumb it's laughable.
The G League is waxing them, too.
Thats on you man. Your laziness is your issue. And if you dont care, changing their name isn't going to change your interest
It’s a good take. You’d actually get some backing from NBA fans.
The G league reflecting on the one most affiliated with my favorite team
They used to be Red Claws.
Now they are Maine Celtics.
Really not that bad
I love Bill SImmons. He provides sports content I enjoy and consume.
He's also just a guy with a mic and all that entails.
Bill Simmons has been high on his own supply for a long time.
Have you seen Ana?
@@brentbigford7307 Exactly 💯
What’s big nose gonna complain about today? This isn’t really a story you complain about unless you are an unhappy person just looking to complain and Rick is that kind of person.
The bell curve is a curve. Why am I saying this? Because it gets wider as it goes down. Why am I saying this? Because its better to take a risk that you may have an unpopular view than to retreat behind views that are known to be inside the bell curve. And by the way. You might be surprised to know that you're in an echo chamber and the bell curve isnt where you think it is. Again. Its better to take a risk if you arent sure it is going to be unpopular but you also know its not automatically scripted as popular speech
Some might disagree.
What does two analyst opinion have to do with the nba supporting the wnba every single year. Without the nba, the wnba would not exist, but Rick is trying to say that the nba doesn’t support the wnba. Just because of these two analyst opinion on opening. Pathetic
