Women didn't have a problem when the standards of many things were lowered to suit them, like the police force, Fire service and defence force etc. Has any female player publicly thanked the NBA for funding it or have they been too busy asking for more money.

Thats for sure. I don´t have a problem with women sport. In fact, sometimes its better to watch then men sports. Not often though. In Tennis in Wimbledon, the men play so fast, that there is hardly any back and forth. Women Tennis in Wimbledon is often much more fun to watch. In the end, you still wanna see, what guy is winning the title. As mentioned, sports lives off the personalities, of the people, doing it. In Tennis, in the era of Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis, etc. - many people watched them play, cause those were great rivalies.

Every decent male Highschool team with the chance (not even the top programs) to win a state title would win the WNBA title... probably without loosing even one game. Its just genetics. I grew up playing football (or soccer like you americans call it). I played with 3 girls in our kids group. Played with them from age 7 till 12 after that it wasnt allowed anymore. Cause as soon as puberty starts, females are just not on the same level anymore. And I dont mean technically, just physically! There are several scrimmage games of national womans football teams (search for the US one for example... the one that DEMANDS equal pay to the men) playing aginst 14-15 years old boys teams... and get blown out each and every time. Now think about 16-18 years old boys playing aginst those national teams... what do you think they would do to those women?

The WNBA's 36 game season lasts a little over 3 months. WNBA: the 2 teams in the championship series might play as many as 12 more games, and potentially as few as 8 more games to become league champ. The NBA struggled for a long time. There was the heyday of the Celtics with Russell, Cousy, Havlicek, et al, in the 60s, then the NBA almost died in the 70s, until Bird and Magic showed up in '79. They were entertaining, electrifying players. Then there was the Detroit Bad Boys and Michael Jordan and Shaq and David Robinson and Sir Charles and Hakeem, and then Kobe and LeBron and on and on. All I ever hear out of the WNBA (when I hear anything at all) is a bunch of bitter women. Every man who's played basketball at the high school level or higher knows that no WNBA team would be competitive in any men's 4A, 5A, or 6A high school district in the country.

I used to officiate high school and college basketball. In high school basketball, the girls always play the first game, followed by the boys game. The crowds at the girls game were dismal. Only during the 4th quarter, would the gym begin to fill up. Years ago, the state athletic association went woke and decided the boys would play first and the girls would play second. The gym was always bigger during the boys game, but never as big as it was when the boys played the later game. That was because many parents and fans could not get off work in order to attend the boys games, which is the game that really drew the crowds. As a result, the schools and the state athletic association, and groups that benefited from revenue from concession stand sales, we losing money. As soon as the boys game was over, 3/4 of the crowd left. And they left right in the middle of the girls’ pre-game warmups, often interfering with them because there were so many people leaving that they would walk onto the floor. It was really embarrassing. The state association realized the consequences of going woke and switched back the following year. They have never made that mistake again.

The last game clip shown says it all for me. The girl running backwards to get back on defense falls down and the girl she's defending goes past her and shoots a wide-open airball that her team mate catches underneath the rim by herself and throws up a brick. I watch basketball to be oohed an awed not to be awwe really? And WTH?😂. Candace's reaction to shaq's comment or suggestion is probably the majority of what the women players would say in response. But that's the problem. They probably need to get over their pride and ego if they want what they're asking for, which is more publicity which would lead to more pay, and take some suggestions that could work in their favor. Because obviously the way it's going now is not working the way they want it to. And complaining about equal this or equal that is not always the correct way to be figuring out a problem. Sometimes, even we think that our plan is the way everything should be, there is a better plan and formula somewhere that could help us get where we want to be. We just have to get over our self and be open-minded to the possibility that there's another way. Or, just keep everything the same way it is and hope that something in the world is going to change, via osmosis,and all the sudden people will want to watch this more boring not as athletic game of NBA basketball that they have to compete with. Maybe the playing field needs to be leveled in some way such as the basket being dropped to 9 ft. It doesn't mean that's the solution but clearly something has to change because you just can't expect or will people to come spend their money to watch something that they're not overly impressed with or really interested in. At least think about it WNBA. It might serve you well to do so. And I truly wish you luck. #I LOVE hoops.

Also, I like how Adam Silver calls women's basketball "more fundamental." Its pushing the narrative that men want big nasty dunks and sick ankle breaking crossovers. No denying that. However, saying the WNBA is more fundamental is a lie, when they dont in fact have the level of fundamentals that the men have.
