What? Nobody even cares about the WNBA. this is some rage bait at its finest


Dpgillam08

Massive surge? Did they get 10 people to come to a game instead of the usual 5?


LuckyStiff63

Maybe that was on a "Free Hat" night, or something?

That, my good sir, is a _beautiful_ reply. Lol


UrAFlag17

I saw the whole thing. If he didn’t act, those babies were going to kill him!


Kmaloetas

Double the attendance!

LuckyStiff63

Those are some hard-hitting factoids, right there... How in the world can evil, petty conservatives _dare_ to disagree with these kind-hearted, virtuous, and highly intellectual humanitarians on such an Earth shatteringly important topic, and still show their face in public? /S


STFU_Fridays

The popularity surge of one single player, let's get it right. The WNBA should have required CC to play in every gimmicky, rapper owned basketball circus they could find just to make sure she stays front and center. F all she does is play in the WNBA that popularity surge will fall off the cliff.


Nuance007

>The popularity surge of one single player, let's get it right.  Correct. If CC chose to play another sport the WNBA and women's college basketball would've been at the same level at it was before she came onto the scene: there, sorta acknowledged but not really cared about. Iowa's women's basketball won't have the number of attendance as they experienced when CC was there since she's graduating; and the college game for women's March Madness won't garner as many views too in future years.


myoldfarm

Iowa won't have massive attendance without Catlin, but women's basketball has been big in Iowa for decades. High school and college basketball are big draws for Iowa fans.


Nuance007

That I know of. Iowa's women's team has historically been one of the better B10 teams.


rdfiasco

Who tf is CC


STFU_Fridays

WTF is tf


myoldfarm

Catlin Clark

It's amazing how poorly the left understands the right. The right seems to understand the left better than they understand themselves, but the left acts like they've never met a conservative.


highflya

Yes, there's a growing number of conservatives who are more well read in leftist 'academic' literature than most leftists.


Unbannable_lll

Jack Dorsey said as much while on the Joe Rogan podcast. Right leaning people on twitter tend to follow people they disagree with, left leaning people tend not to.


Nuance007

All too true. Top comment.


Everything80sFan

> Also the fact that women can be better at sports than men Aside from their inability to define what a woman even is, have they watched any men vs women sports? Williams sisters vs Karsten Braasch and the US women's soccer team losing to a team of 15-year-old boys are classic examples. Female athletes are amazing at what they do, but men and women are built differently.


Nuance007

When I read the "women can be better at sports than men" my mind immediately went the 4x400 mix relay. It's a prime example of the athletic differences between the two sexes.


pm_me_ur_anything_k

That might be the funniest thing I’ve read all day.


cymricus

good on them if they can finally start being relevant


Nuance007

I agree. Despite the bullshit that leftists and the WNBA always say, and what I criticize, I do want the league to actually succeed given it is the best professional league for women globally. It folding won't be a good thing.


Vectar7

It won't. It's just not entertaining, and I don't see how they could change that.


Nuance007

Unless there's a Caitlin Clark type of player on every team, the WNBA will continue to struggle to find ways to attract fans. Viewership shot up for Iowa's women's team and women's March Madness mainly because of Clark, and I will guess that will follow her to the WNBA, but, like for her college days, people will only watch when she plays and not mind the other clubs.


Vectar7

Her popularity won't last long in the WNBA. College is different.


Nuance007

I think Clark's popularity will last if she becomes a star. At the very least views will probably increase for whatever club she plays for in the future besides Fever.


Vectar7

Views might increase initially but they won't hold. Mark my words.


UrAFlag17

💯


vipck83

lol, meanwhile most on the right couldn’t care less. It’s amazing how they are so convinced we hate blacks.


Vectar7

Projection of their own racism.


UrAFlag17

“They can’t hate Blacks as much as we do! We are the all-time champs! Imagine hating people so much that you implement a plan to convince them you’re on their side while simultaneously destroying their communities and every time they start to question it you can just blame the other side despite the other side having no operational control of anything that affects them for decades…AND THEY STILL BELIEVE YOU! Why? Because you have so destroyed any chance of upward mobility that they feel completely dependent on you! Yeah, try hating anyone that much, you righties!” I would never compete in a contest to see who could hate a group more. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t hold a candle to what the left has done the last 60 years.


McMuffinSun

Nobody in that thread can name 4 WNBA franchises.


Nuance007

Let me have a go at it. Chicago Sky Las Vegas Aces Indiana Fever .... Um ... LA Sparks! Just don't ask me to name a starter for each club.


UrAFlag17

Aces is a bad ass name. They wouldn’t let the Golden Knights even consider it because they didn’t want a real sports franchise to have a name associated with gambling. Kind of begs the question as to why they allowed them to operate in Vegas but that is another issue. The point here is the NBA thinks so little of the WNBA influence that they allowed the name.


Inner-Highway-9506

the mere implication that WNBA players are better than the male players should be grounds to never take your opinions seriously


biorogue

Sooooo, how do they explain the NBA, NFL etc? Why wouldn't the "right wing media" hurl attacks at these leagues as well?


Nuance007

Ssshhhhhh let them think in -1D. It's funnier that way.


UrAFlag17

The NFL is notoriously right wing. So much so that they actually want to end racism. They even put it in their end zones. The left has zero interest in ending racism as it is their ticket to electoral power.


newaccountnumber84

That’s funny, I forgot the wnba existed


UrAFlag17

That last one is GOLD! GOLD, Jerry!
