    It's more fun to watch tbh. Same as women's volleyball. I think the smaller courts help. Also sports that have quick direct exchanges like those. Actually thinking about it, for tennis I think both men's and women's are equally fun to watch as long as they're high ranked. Low ranked tennis is pretty bad though.

    The next time I watch a WNBA game will be the first time I watch a WNBA game.

    We had a real star in Swoopes, and 4 championships. I Liked. But not enough people did. If we can draft a looker that will help. Will watch the rebirth of the Comets. Make it happen.

    Truth is, it's not about men watching. They need women to watch. And quite literally if they would support the WNBA teams, there would be plenty of money to go around. There's a lot of women buzzing around about inequality, but the fact is there are women with money who could invest in the product, and there are more than enough women who could watch, but neither seem to grab on. The math is easy. But it's gonna take a movement with female fan commitment to make it work.

    Can't complain about the lack of media coverage then not do post game interviews.

    Rockets games are empty. A wnba game would be worse

    Lol what?

    The probability of dunking wouldn't meaningfully increase if the rims were lowered, in a league where 95% of players can't dunk because the rim is too tall?

    man this win was as lucky as it gets, phoenix missed 3-4 open layups in a row down the stretch and it was in and out...i never saw something like that...

    i totally get them...i am not even a fan of phoenix and even i had a tough time watching them losing an already won game inexplicably missing several layups in a row in the clutch...i can only imagine how bad they feel

    Use your brain, genius.

    Women's bodies aren't structured to jump as high as men's bodies ("child-bearing hips").

    And, how often do you see dunks being practiced in women's/girls' basketball on a regular basis?

    Someone should frame the photo of Kahleah Copper staring down Sophie Cunningham.

    They're girls. They're in the feels and can't take accountability for their actions.

    Very low self awareness. "I don't want to talk about it right now"
