There is a reason the league now has a line of about 10 cities that want to get a franchise.    Its not just because of CC

Doesn't hurt that Daddy NBA will cover your losses too.

Pretty amazing some still have this view.   I'm not going to say you're the minority but the people who can name W players and view them as viable celebrity endorsers is a quickly growing group.   There is a reason the league now has a line of about 10 cities that want to get a franchise.    Its not just because of CC

I can't recognize or name a single WNBA player besides CC and perhaps Britney Griner (is she still even playing WNBA?) so I would be surprised if anyone but the highest salaried stars get that kind of revenue.

Can't tell the difference between Dejuana Bonner or Juwanna Mann

New CBA coming up I wonder if they will try to fight age restriction.   I doubt considering how few spots there are currently in the league but they need to.   Having to wait another 2 yrs to get Juju is not a good plan

I don’t know how elite female athletes are spread among sports but you might think that if one women’s domestic pro league could ever seperate itself from the others with higher salaries, the athletes would tend to focus on that sport and it would grow organically that way.  Maybe wnba is slowly doing that and there will be fewer volleyball only athletes, or dual sport athletes that choose volleyball (or soccer/track/whatever but chose vball because of shared traits) as they progress into high school and college.

Aaliyah Edwards has destroyed some of the best player in the game on the way to the finals of this 1v1 tourney.   Now up 1 game (best 2 of 3) on Napheesa Collier.   200K for the winner.

I was wondering about this. They make it to where you have to attend college for 4 seasons? Watching Booker last night I'm like... shit... she could play in the W tomorrow.

I think you're probably right. Outside of Tennis and Golf it's the only legit women's pro sports league in the US.

There are a few good women's soccer leagues overseas and I could see whatever the top tier is here gaining steam. 

I think what will mainly make it more popular is the growing star power of players like CC.

Yep.  Juju and Hannah Hidalgo from ND are both sophomores and both could go to the W right now and ball out.

Phee gets game 2.   3rd gm for 200k

Down goes Cinderella.   Collier is the 1v1 champ

Likely get paid more in college?

The NWSL is a legit league as well.  At worst, it’s the second best league in the world and is without question the deepest top to bottom. Volleyball has never been more popular or competitive for girls. 

The best girl athletes generally already focus on one sport by the age of 13 or so.  You can dabble in another sport but you can’t really participate at the elite level in more than one the way the systems operate.

HS basketball is still a thing although AAU is much more important for recruiting.  HS soccer is entirely irrelevant for D1 level players who are increasingly not playing HS at all.  Colleges straight up tell their commits not to play HS.

I don't think you understand how big women's basketball is getting in this country. 

I don't know one person who gives a single fuck about the NWSL.

It’s more about the WNBA separating itself from the NBA. Higher salaries won’t happen if that happens. And in the meantime, higher salaries are dependent on how much the NBA is willing to give. 

Diana Tarausi finally retiring.    Farewell to one of the GOATs

DT could talk shit with the best of them

A lockout will be hilarious. I say they do it. 

If a lockout falls in the woods and no one is around to see it does it make a sound?

 

It's shocking how fucking stupid Reese is. She's like pantheon-level idiot athlete all time. I hope - and am assuming - the rest of the league understands that a lockout wouldn't work.

If they are smart they will throw the season to the Fever and negotiate at maximum strength 

That's a big "if".

She has a point. Could you imagine if there were WNBA players that were attracted to women?

Wait...

whoever makes the final cut isn't a creepy horndog.
 

Guess I’m out.

Honestly the best thing that could happen to them is for the Fever to make a Finals run, win or lose...it'll be the most engagement they can get, from haters and clark lovers, the talk shows would talk even MORE about it, and they'd have the Best ratings they've ever thought of.

But nah...they'll continue to have owners and players pretending that it's NOT Clark moving he needle.

They will probably make her play in a burka and crocs next season

No, realistically, after she's forced another team to move to a bigger arena due to demand, that teams owner will say "It's not just clark, but our own team that's barely in the playoff mix, that's forcing us to move the game!"

The wnba draft is back! Live from the hotel ballroom in Peoria Illinois! Golden state valkyries are the new expansion team to really water down the layups and bricks we will get to see all summer.

Golden State selected Kaitlyn Chen (Princeton => UCONN this year) in the 3rd round.

She’s pretty good, and I have a gut feeling that they will figure out a way to market a Chinese-American from California (San Marino in SoCal/LA County) in the San Francisco area. It may be a stretch, but there may be a few locals who might see her as an inspiration.

If they really wanted to please their fans, they should have selected that defensive end from NC State. 

KVL sure didn't seem like she enjoyed going to the Sky...that was the biggest "I gotta smile while talking" I've seen a LONG time.

I've heard her and Reese are friends, but KVL did not fit on that team with her...and unless Reese has learned to pass out her Rebounds to a legitimate PG to make a play, it'll be more of the same.

…with a “K”, right?

HVL looked bangin on draft night. Sheesh. Gonna go with she found out Chicago wanted to draft her at 11 before the Empire State Building pic and she was pissed about having to play with Angel again.

Gonna be interesting to see the WNBA heads explode again this year when 2 new blond, white girls and an Asian named Kaitlyn take all the endorsement money.

Right. And i keep seeing they're friends...that's cool. Doesn't mean she wants to take a backseat to a chucker who can't make a basket at higher than 45% clip from 3-5 feet.

IF Reese learns to grab a rebound and pass out to a legitimate guard, now that they have one, they'll be a tough team.

Well not many would be...she's a similar style player in the female game.

When will they trade her to the Sparks for an old Lisa Leslie uniform and a 2037 draft pick?
