Trouble is they try and get me as an NBA fan to watch. I like the NBA because I wish I was a 6′ 8″ wing who can slam from the free throw line. I was a 6′ 1″ wing who could box out and hit 80% on my set shots- I won’t pay to watch that. They will never thrive until they can get women to watch.

The WNBA needs to reachout to its fan base, which is woman and young girls. They need to do it not just at a national level but also at an international level. WNBA needs to partner up with local highschools and community to better promote there agenda and spread excitement. One thing WNBA can’t do is compete with the NBA. They can’t start handing out lebron like contract, and copy cat the glitz and glammer of the NBA. They will be fine by sticking to their fan base….

(and they get ripped for their ratings).
Well, they HAVE been around for a couple of more years than the W. As has the NBA.
Baby steps, Kurt. Baby steps. The league is making more money than the Nets lost in, what, two hours? In these economic times, I’ll take that, thank you very much. Especially in the face of all those who feel so threatened by the W that they feel the need to bash it left right and center.
Sometimes I think the pleasure I get from watching a Cappie or Diana or Tina Charles in increased by the fact that it makes Bill Simmons apoplectic.
