It’s more exciting in the way college ball is. There are fewer games so each means more and the players play harder. There’s less isolation and more offensive sets so you get more passing and team play. The girls are athletic and very skilled so it doesn’t feel you’re watching children at recess anymore.

you could say there's appeal to the style of play compared to the shitshow of the nba but it's meaningless given the substandard athleticism. middle school boys also have more team play than nba offenses, doesn't mean anything.

also it's very aesthetically displeasing to see hot chicks pitted against a bunch of butch shaniquas. if the wnba fine-tuned its roster composition to look more like olympic beach volleyball and similarly updated the uniform design it would be top four pro sports league in the US by popularity. they are leaving billions on the table.

start a purpose-made league a la the lingerie football league or whatever, but a little more subtle. capitalize it well. recruit the best women's college bb players. within year one it has better ratings than the wnba and it's already a more valuable league. then the virtuous cycle engages and it gets its pick of top talent but retains the license to reject bulldykes. obviously easier said than done but if a good sports entrepreneur with some cash to toss around put his head to it (maybe dana white or vince mcmahon) it'd be interesting to see what happened.

beach volleyball works out because it almost exclusively attracts white players and there's no strategic benefit to having body mass.

It means something precisely for the reason you stated. The current NBA formula where every possession is either an iso dunk or launching a 3 is boring. The lower level of athleticism i think can be overcome and is less noticeable now that the training and conditioning is so much higher and when women are pitted against each other. Of course, the best WNBA players would look like retarded children in an NBA game.

Agree that the league should lean into the sex appeal a bit more since there are a decent amount of good looking players and volleyball is the right analogy.

the tension and jealousy is a good thing. the racial aspect is annoying to me.

in a few years the WNBA is really going to take off. We'll have a stable of established household-name young stars with CC, Angel Reese, Bueckers, Juju Watkins, Hannah Hidalgo together with some older GOAT level players like A'ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu.

That's something i forgot to mention, but 100% that's a big part too. When you turn on any game there are more attractive women playing than ever before.

If you have high quality of play + hot women, i think that will boost the popularity. You also have the surging ticket prices for NBA making it impossible for regular people to ever go to a game.

There's jealousy for sure. Players who have been making $60k for years and playing overseas in the offseason to make ends meet who resent CC who has tons of endorsements and is rich. A lot believe that part of the CC phenomenon is the fact that she's white and if she were black, she would be treated very differently.

There's some truth to that. Caitlyn Clark was a household name in college. Juju Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo put up similar numbers and IMO are more sensational players to watch. How many posters know who they are? Paige Bueckers, another white girl, is also widely known.

On the court, CC has been subjected to a number a hard fouls that people rightly or wrongly attribute to this partially race fueled jealousy.

Tons of them are overly abstract and retarded. There are a few NBA teams like this too ("Magic"), but it seems to be a more modern phenomenon. But yes in general the newer NBA teams also have retarded names, just not quite to the same extreme and they're balanced out by some of the classics.

I just said some NBA teams suffer the same problem but it's balanced out by the classics. You're being intentionally obtuse because you know this is a valid criticism and there's no defending it other than whataboutism

And at least "Suns" relates to Phoenix. What the fuck does "Dream" even mean? The correct nba wtf comparison here is something like "Thunder" or "Magic"

i think it's fitting that wnba teams have weird faggy names. they should sound like women's teams, not men's teams. the gay wnba naming conventions are a subtle subconscious heteronormativity that's able to persist because they're inoffensive and not entirely overt.

Tbf the NBA is easily the second faggiest league after the WNBA in terms of names (which I think is unironically a big impediment to its popularity -- eg nobody in NC gave a fuck about the "Bobcats", "Hornets" was just a flat out better name), so much of their naming problem is down to the fact that they drew inspiration from NBA and then doubled down on it.

I'm really not being intentionally obtuse. The fact is every team name sounds ridiculous when it's new (e.g. memphis grizzlies, anaheim mighty ducks).

The WNBA is a new league so there are no "classics". I think it's better they came up with new names like Valkyries, Mystics, Liberty rather than generic already used names like Bears, Hawks or Tigers.

I largely agree with this.

Caitlyn Clark has the most compelling narrative arc of anyone playing basketball currently.

Her game is legitimately enjoyable to watch, and there is actual narrative tension around how big a superstar she can become in the WNBA.

Part of this is that the ruthless optimization of the NBA game has in large part stripped it of its narrative appeal.

There was a stretch before Federer and Nadal came around where the women's game had Martina Hingis and Anna Kournakova, and the Williams sisters were just starting. Where women's tennis had more interest than men's tennis did.

This is sort of similar.

Thinking about this a little more,

The WNBA has a couple of other things going for it.

First, they have the benefit of leveraging the free marketing from the college game, since player stay in school longer, you get to know them, then when they're ready to come into the pro game, they're more ready to be difference makers as soon as they show up.

Their games are easy to find on TV. Weekend afternoon TV slots. I guess I'm old, but the NBA starting games at 9PM, I'm half asleep by the second half, my kids aren't staying up to watch that. Weekend afternoon TV slots are much easier for casual fans (and young fans). Not that much competition in the summer either.

Agree with all your points.

It's also cool that the WNBA season starts just 1 month after the NCAA season ends, so there's some momentum for the new players and in real time you get to see them transform from college kid to pro.

With the men, it's the better part of a year between the end of the college season and start of the pro.
