Posted May 24, 20214 yr So the WNBA has a new ad campaign, it's "your" fault that it sucks and no one watches it. For real, that's the message. Sports Illustrated has bought in And if you watched any NBA playoff games this weekend, you saw the Nike ad saying the same thing. Nothing's worked to get people to watch so far, so why not try smug insults? Discuss
May 24, 20214 yr I bet even with the reduction in capacity due to COVID they still couldn't "sell out" even one game.
May 25, 20214 yr Its not a great product. There are no stars. Its not marketed well and probably can't be. I used to take my daughter to women's basketball games at the college level which was fun. Maybe if Philly had a team I would, but watching random WNBA games on tv is not even remotely interesting.

Sabrina Ionescu is a star.
May 25, 20214 yr Just now, Dave Moss said: The best player in the WNBA. C’mon man. And I've quite literally never heard of her, which speaks to the point of it being a horrible product.
May 25, 20214 yr I will say while still not great it is definitely improving the last few years. It’s nearing random watchability.
May 25, 20214 yr They couldn't even get people to watch when they paired WNBA stars with NBA stars at the NBA All-Star Weekend for things like the three-point contest or whatever. Ultimately, it is up to the WNBA to get people to watch by having a better product. Is Major League Soccer going to run around and tell people why they should be watching soccer? Is the NHL going to tell people in the Sun Belt why they should watch more hockey?

They actually have 27, with 3 more on the way in the next year or two. But the point is, if MLS wants viewership on par with the NFL or NBA, does it argue with people, or does it put out a better product? It would seem, given they have 30 teams on the table, that they have been working on the product.

May 25, 20214 yr Author The best chance they’ll have to get people to start watching, is when the trans d00des take over the league in a few years.
May 25, 20214 yr Women’s basketball is completely unwatchable. The league bleeds money hand over fist for a reason. It’s worse than watching paint dry.

May 25, 20214 yr The time Katie Nolan attempted to shame the country for not liking WNBA (before she’d ever been to a game) is quintessential woke.
May 25, 20214 yr 10 hours ago, Gannan said: And I've quite literally never heard of her, which speaks to the point of it being a horrible product. And even as a star she is boring to watch their game is slow and unremarkable. Which is why it fails as entertainment.
May 25, 20214 yr I tried to get into the wnba when the shock won almost 20 years ago. Couldn't do it. Just wasn't interesting in any way. On the other hand, I love watching the women's World Cup. At times, it's more entertaining than men's soccer.
