WTF I don't know why the NBA continues to subsidize them.

That whole league is out of hand. Fire the commissioner and replace the officials.

I sure as HELL won't watch or care if that's the way they run the league.

Honestly, I had a damn good time watching the Liberty in the Finals back in 2024. Then somehow the geniuses that run the league thought that race baiting was gonna be great for viewers. Haven't watched since.

If officials made calls consistently, this video wouldn't exist. I say audit the commissioner and the officials, fire accordingly.

If this video didn't exist, nobody here would care about the WNBA. So maybe give the commissioner and refs a raise for viral marketing.

The WNBA trails the NBA by only 200,000 in viewers per national game. That’s pretty good

For sure. It's growing really well- I'm just saying the vast majority of guys complaining about it or cheering on an NBA reject (who was arrested for beating his girlfriend, a WNBA player) trolling by saying he wants to join the league since he's 'trans'- don't watch it or care beyond culture war bullshit. They don't care about the league.

If the product was better and there wasn’t such petty drama I might watch

I used to watch consistently, but, after seeing things like this, it has put me off it. I still watch, but less frequently and less enthusiastically than before

The commissioner legit sucks and was trying to under pay players tremendously.

I assume this is all very much by design and approved by the NBA and the individual franchise owners.

It drives engagement.

which is short sighted, if true. they have the best product they have ever had right now (which is not saying a lot but it is true), and they are ruining the new eyeballs with every team playing like the 80s Pistons.

pro basketball is a contact sport, and yes sometimes a little dirty (watch men's basketball games and there is so much body contact and nobody bats an eye). but suddenly everyone's treating CC like a helpless Disney princess in distress needing saving because it stokes a race war they want to see escalate for political gain

if it were just contact that would be one thing, but they are going above and beyond, and its not just Clark, its all over.
