    I don't agree with that but I do feel the nba should be run like the premier league, every franchise has a male and female team and the team schedules run the same months in the year not three weeks in the summer. So instead of asking nba players to donate their salaries to pay wnba salaries, the wnba should be looking to merge with the nba. All nba teams already have g league affiliates, they should create female g league counterparts, hold female g league vs male g league showcases, retrofit the arenas to have two home locker rooms and build free standing practice facilities. Because its obvious that the wnba will never learn how to market themselves properly

    Why? Let the economics and fans decide with their time and wallets
    @J.R.
    I’m not a fan of Les Alexander but he cut the Comets cause they weren’t making enough money.

    If NBA doesn’t get the new television deals they want , cost cutting will happen.

    TNT might not renew their contract

    Just tagging@Commodore in this, because he didn't include this information in his post.

    That being said, the US government should continue to work to secure his release, but it should be made clear that he isn't some golden boy just because he used to be in the military.

    Women’s basketball will never be as popular and profitable as Men’s just like
    Stripclubs with male strippers will never be as popular as with female strippers

    that’s just the human species

    if there was a female Shaq knocking these women over like bowling pins and dunking on the whole squad averaging 40 and 30, I would watch

    There are not enough people in the world who are that big let alone who’d be trans as well. Then they’d have to be good at basketball too. The odds are not in our favor.

    Maybe Charles Barkley can be Charlotte Barkley and take the WNBA by storm.

    Could we sign Urkel to a 10 day contract? Maybe we’d win a few more with those moves.

    There’s no equality in sports
    That’s the entire point

    you can’t identify as a good basketball player based on race or gender
    It’s based on skill

    LMAO at that shot by Jeremy…I have to give it to him, a shot like this would be comedy relief if it wasn’t happening during a playoff game

    Its entertainment. Ten years ago no one wanted to see women fight, the ufc marketed Ronda Rousey so well there were idiots that actually thought she could beat Floyd Mayweather lol, but that's how good ufc marketing is. Now we have Amanda Nunez, Thug Rose, Bullet Shevchenko and full roster of hungry bad ass women that are entertaining as hell. The ufc women's division is 9 years old, the wnba is 26. Lower the rims, get form fitting uniforms, mirror the nba's all star weekend, create stars and market them, especially the hot ones

    UFC did a good job

    who are they going to market for the women’s game? Griner ?

    The comets were popular in Houston and they still didn’t make enough money

    a lot of these women are really skilled and have game, but they’re just boring to watch

    I went to a few Comets games back in the day, it just doesn’t compare

    a trans Shaq would at least be something we’ve never seen before

    WNBA would literally go viral if someone was out there bullying them Zion style Hulk smashing the rims
