Part 15: • John Salley on Why Edd...
Part 13: • John Salley on LeBron'...
Part 1: • John Salley on Predict...
--------
In this clip, John Salley spoke about the lack of historical support for women’s sports in America and why leagues like the WNBA don’t have the same cache as men’s sports. He also gave his take on the possibility of an overseas sports league overtaking a traditionally US dominated sport. If the new LIV Golf league created by the Saudis is any indication of what’s to come then it’s clear that foreign leagues have the capabilities of competing with US leagues. - บันเทิง
Na, it's because women don't like sports like that. It's just what it is. Men models don't make the same amount of money is women models. It's based on interest. It's business not feelings.
Preach 🙏
I agree I like 👍
Same with porn stars. Women make more than men.
I've been saying this about male models for a while. They just don't get the logic
I disagree alot of woman watch the NBA but not the WNBA and I blame them for the reason why the WNBA isn't more profitable
@@roxjaw2895 he just said intrest
Ppl complain about women sports but the key is spectators . The average woman doesn't even support women's sports. But will jump on the complaint train when the leagues or teams fail to produce revenue. Girls who wear jerseys rarely even wear women's leagues jerseys.
They barely sell them. When the league first came out , I tried so many stores and back then wnba didn’t even have their own site or anything. They blew a lot of their momentum by taking so long to put out merchandise.
This is exactly what bill burr says in his special
There’s more woman than men in this world right Girls are smarter than boys right ?
@@nekneversleep for one it costs money to keep those things up and sadly they are in debt they can’t depend on the nba to stay afloat forever 🤷🏾♂️I’m sorry they may have great athletes but they need an exciting show and in my opinion they don’t do anything for me they ain’t shooting from 30-40 feet at ease they ain’t doing windmills and having dunk contests they need to revamp their whole league shorten rims give them smaller balls they need to do something
@@nekneversleep and that’s their problem they are so arrogant and entitled they honestly believe they don’t need to do any different the nba has always tried different things and that’s why they thrive they not afraid of change they need to get out of their feelings and into their metaphorical bag
@@Perc_angle30 for me, I can only speak for myself as a woman and lifelong nba fan . I got frustrated with the very first season , games were hard to find, no one commentated or covered it and there was no merch to buy.
Now with that said I have no idea as to why or why not those things didn’t happen. But as a fan , I took years off from even trying. I got back into it a few years ago and it’s still very difficult to buy basic things like tee shirts and jerseys. Even their websites need work, I was trying to plan a trip and watch a playoff game and the way they do the playoff schedule is odd. Idk 🤷🏽♀️

25 years, John.....the WNBA has been supported by the NBA for a quarter century. They can't make it on their own. Their game is sound, fundamentally, but un-athletic, Things could be done (9 foot rim, among other things), but they have proven to be unwatchable. For a LONG time.
The problem is, they don't want the rim to be lowered, which would make it more entertaining and competitive, and they have a sense of entitlement, as if they deserve to make as much as the men or the benefits.
Exactly. They have zero (intentionally) understanding of market economics. They draw pitiful TV #'s, which is where the bulk of the money comes from. They play in front of less than 3k people (far less) nightly, yet want to be paid the same. Bwahahahaha
Yes but the crazy part is women's college ball is actually decent. They don't change the court for women's tennis players so why do the same for basketball. The WNBA will never be the NBA. It is what it is.
@@brotherLee340 Women's tennis being played on the same size court as the men doesn't expose their lack of athleticism the way an NBA court/rim does.
@@remnant8898 See, I don't get their resistance to lowering the rims. They already use smaller balls. Women softball play in smaller fields.
Pro athletes look at sports differently than the public. We want entertainment. And the WNBA won’t make adjustments to up the entertainment factor.
The NBA had to make adjustments to compete with the ABA once upon a time. If there were another women's league to challenge the WNBA, I think the WNBA would try to be more innovative and entertaining. The problem is, the WNBA has been underwhelming and makes it look as if there isn't a market for women's basketball. Why would someone invest in something that they don't think there's a market for?
@@kevinblayton1177 Facts. It’s been 25 years. Clearly you’d be crazy to invest in the WNBA now
What are these adjustments?
@@iAintSayDat not just invest in the WNBA, but a women's league in general. With the WNBA floundering for about 20 years, why would someone like Mark Cuban take their money and invest it in starting a seperate league to compete with the WNBA?
Exactly. Most of us aren't rich and work brutal jobs. Sports are our getaway. No fucking way am I working a manual labor job all week to come home and watch the WNBA. I want to be entertained. It's boring.
They refuse to lower the basket to 9 feet
If the WNBA just listened to the critics, more people would attend or watch the games. They play with a smaller ball which makes the probability easier to score. No one wants to see fastbreak layups. They need to lower the rim. Period. Dunks will change that game. If they don’t, the leauge will continue to fail
ill tell you what a couple a girls are starting to dunk and theyre not 6´10, its not perfect but its a start
No ones gonna show... they can play naked and it aint gonna change a thing
@@Carlito1980 hey hey hey idk about all that we should leave that on the table
@@ILikesports360 right like Liz Cambage or Skylar Diggins, bruhhhhhhhhhh
Spot on, but I’d add in sex appeal. More fitted uniforms go a long way. It is what it is but deep down, u know it’s true. I even think a gimmick bikini league would outsell the wnba
I went to a Chicago Sky game a month ago when I was in town and I couldnt believe it. It was like a middle school game. And they just won a chip last season😭
That’s what wnba is kid
& half of the seats filled are from free tix
@@dawataboy 😅😅😅
That's the first WNBA game I went to. And I was on the floor with an exclusive press pass. I mean them bitches was balling, cursing each other out, throwing bows the whole nine...but they are still women. Not as fast strong or quick as a man. And plus women just hate on each other for anything period. Entertaining but it will never make more than the NBA.
A middle school game?😂😂😂💀
I really like the interviews with John Sally! I remember watching him play in college, Georgia Tech! Loved watching him a mark price! He seems to be a stand up guy and great stories!
He always tells the best stories
Watching WNBA is like watching rural area junior high school ball
😂
Rural area junior high school ball is better.
@@MIDTOWNE1 your kinda right
In seriousness, a decent 8th grade boys team beats WNBA all star team.
@@draggers33 LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO
Let’s be honest the WNBA is at best 6th or 7th best basketball. The NBA, European leagues, D1, D2, D3 and some premier high school teams would all beat any team in the WNBA.
A few years ago in I think Australia, the women's national team lost to the boys High school JV team. JV lol
You forgot the G league too😂
Them not lowering the rim today could potentially be stopping the next generation of women from making millions in the future. They gotta put their pride to the side for the entertainment factor
No one wants to see women dunking on a 9ft goal man. That would become a side show. The reality, as tough as this sounds, is that women move differently when playing basketball. Their moves can be almost robotic looking compared to the men. It's not like that in soccer, why? idk.. but women look somewhat similar to men when playing soccer. In basketball, it just doesnt translate the same way. It's not as entertaining for that reason. Forget about the rim, when i watch most women do a cross over, it's just ehhh not the same as the men who are much more fluent. Again, thats not with every sport. It's not like that in golf/tennis/soccer, but for whatever reason it is in basketball.
@@deronkeeton2118 facts
I find it funny that women are offended by the suggestion of lowering the rim because it would fundamentally change the sport but are cool with the smaller ball, closer 3 point line, shorter quarters etc
@@AllStyleNoSubstance1 Are you really gonna watch if they lowered the rim? Of course not. You may watch at the beginning but then stop. It's just too much sports in the U.S. as it is. I love every sport but even I as a man lost interest in Hockey that I loved so much as a teen and young adult because it became too much trying to keep up with football, baseball, Basketball and boxing while having a job and a life. Then you have other sports that I don't watch that also have huge followings like Nascar and Golf and Tennis and women's tennis so no one has time to try and keep up with women's basketball.
Whether they lower the rim or not I'm not watching that foolishness 😂😂😂 it's no excitement seeing bulldykes run up and down the court lol
As someone who was a good athlete across multiple sports, I will say that golf is extremely hard. Wayyy harder than anyone would normally expect
Retartedly hard.
Facts golf is so technical it’s insane the skill gap in that game between normal people and pros shows how much you need to play and know
That’s why I respect the game. Same as Soccer!! Never played either but the endurance it takes is a lot.
I'm a golfer, average, and people don't understand it if they don't play
Golf is the hardest sport in the world...PERIOD
If you had a choice between going to a WNBA Final’s game w/box seats and getting $20, what would you spend your $20 on?

Man y'all are hilarious in this comment section 🤣.
Bill Burr just said the same thing in his special.. had my ribs hurting I was laughing so hard! 😄😂🤣
Bill Burr had me dying 😂😂👍🏾
Bill Burr’s correlation with feminism and the WNBA was spot on. That part had me in tears.
The WNBA was real watchable when it first started out... Houston Comets- Swoops, Cooper and Thompson/ First big 3
the overall talent/skill level was a joke back in 97 compared to now, if anything the league is much more watchable now and the progression has been steady
Louisiana
No it wasn't. The WNBA has always been unwatchable!!!
@@ThePulse10 , too You maybe... That's when I watched it...
@@elai3147 The league is less watchable now because it’s now a bunch of chicks who are trying to play like dudes with none of the athleticism.
No it wasn't
35 years later nobody still shows up
@116cowboy
We waiting til 2050.....
Actually they put tons of resources into women's sports. It was called Title IX. That's the only reason there is any pro leagues at all.
Exactly, at a HUGE loss. A family member of mine played division 1 girls lacrosse. No one aside from the parents came. Maybe 25 people total to a game. No ticket sales. There's a lot of overhead in this...
Title 9 is for college athletics. Has nothing to do with pro sports.
@@brotherLee340 So we don't need it then and the pro sports will stay alive?
Good news
@@brotherLee340
Duh. It still Substantiates the effort at pushing women's athletics.
You're good at being pointless.
Actually iirc when UCONN struck big in 95 I think the WNBA and it's now defunct rival league made a tiny amount of money
Speaking of Reggie bush Vlad should get him on
How’s it that John Salley always & forever has an explanation for everything?
Well it beats saying "huh" every time somebody asks him something
Cause he’s rich!
@@andresc1143 Cause Life experiences
A bad explanation. They can put as much money/effort/whatever as they want into the WNBA. I ain't watching.
@@viralbuthow000 k👍🏾
John Salley is so Politically correct
I suspect he may run for office soon.
A large % of people in the entertainment/sports space are afraid to really speak truth unless they're out of the industry/business
@@capo4270 When not telling the truth has become the norm that's when shit gets fucked up
Trump did it y not and politicians lie all the time that's why they politicians why you think Trump became president he literally just said what was on his mind people get tired of the BS
He always deflects answering the questions..
Shorter shorts and more Te'a Cooper's than Cleo's from Set it Off and I guarantee you will see more men in the WNBA audience..
Yup
More Te'a Cooper.
Real Talk... # More Te'a🎬
To me its simple: When I watch a sport, I want to see it done in the best way possible, at the highest skill level. This simply boils it down to watching male sports.
I do not see there ever being a reason to watch female "pro sports"
Pro volleyball, pro handball have good profits and audience in Europe, quite good wages as well.
I don’t like this narrative. It’s a lot of reasons that womens sports aren’t as big as mens. It not that people just don’t show up. It’s sports, we like the best. We wanna see athletes play at the highest levels. The 200th placed mens tennis player SMOKED Serena Williams. There’s interviews where Serena says mens tennis is a completely different level. We primarily just wanna see the best of the best.
But that happened later on in Serena's career as she got older right? My thing with the WNBA is it shouldn't be marketed like the NBA. Also anything can become popular or successful, even if it's a silly gimmick as strange as that may sound. I mean if WWE wrestling can become popular why can't the WNBA?
@@TheGoldeagle99 Because WWE is wrestling entertainment. They are the best at creating a storyline.
The 200th ranked player was also up there n age.
Taking nothing away from Serena of course. Women's tennis tends to have a lot of male viewership that other female sports don't have. WNBA could be gigantic if women in America supoorted it.
@@TheGoldeagle99 No this was early in her career. I think in 1999 if im not mistaken.
You kind of killed your own argument there. Tennis people take women's tennis seriously. Women's tennis is the biggest female sport out there. I know women tennis players from 40 to 50 years ago. Despite the skill gap it's still enjoyed by millions of tennis fans. The skill gap does matter but most people dismiss women's sports because they're women's sports.
@@TheGoldeagle99 their outfits alone with the feminine presentation plus their entertaining is why they get an audience.
I rather go down to a random community sport center and watch a random boy high school AAU game than a WNBA game.....
The WNBA isnt as bad as people think watch the Connecticut Suns Las Vegas aces Phoenix Mercury it's entertaining give it a shot
@@roxjaw2895 I used to play AAU when I was in high school. 14 years old, I remember we played a team, little dark skinned boy in the other team, couldn't have been any more than 5'5. He caught the ball on a fast break and took off from just in front the free throw line, cooked back and crammed it home with 2... I ain't seen no WNBA player even twice that boys size do that shit ever in my life.... In short.... I'll pass.
You can’t create repeat customers through guilt. You might compel someone to attend once bc they feel obligated, but if they don’t have a taste for it they’re not coming back. Fan is short for fanatic.
Great point!
I always tune in when John Salley on Vlad Tv
Thats last part 💯
I didn't get the conversation about the WNBA. It took a strange turn. Anyway i agree with Bill Burr. It doesn't matter how much money you put into it. Your return won't add up. Participation isn't the problem.
I goto women’s college soccer games and it’s usually packed and very exciting. It’s a combination of some of the most attractive women in the world that are extremely skilled and competitive. This is why some women also enjoy the NBA. They get to watch highly competitive men that they also find alluring. The WNBA is competing against that.
*go to
NWSL stadiums are pretty empty. A lot of the same attractive women and exciting competitive game. SMH
Soccer is extremely common outside the us so they’re more than likely to go places. WNBA 😑 gon call that a miss with lingerie football
The USWNT can't beat youth boys teams, that's a fact. Have the USWNT play the Solar SC U17 boys team or the DC United U16 team, and they'd lose by at least 4 goals. Shoot the Solar team would probably win by double digits hahaha! Women just don't do sports as well as men, no shame in that.
So deep man
John Salley is a smart dude! Love watching his interviews...lots of range!
They didn’t even spend a whole lot of time on the topic 😂😂😂
And it was not directly even answered and the answer went all over the place
Yo Vlad just asked a interesting and good question. There may be a chance that a league in a foreign country could overtake an American based sports league. I'd have to think about that more. I'm surprised it hasn't happened with baseball yet as popular as it is in Japan, Korea and latin America.
U.S.A. is a Bigger Economy and Millions on people RIGHT NOW WOULD LEAVE their home land to come to AMERICA
That’s not a good idea … how are ppl here going yo support a foreign sports league … a big part of revenue is actually going to the games or having your local stations air them on tv .
Money
@@richardwalker6004
The world is more connected now than it's ever been. People are watching games on their tablets. You're right about how sports leagues in the U.S. generates revenue with the cable companies but it's not like there aren't big cable companies in other countries.
@@TheGoldeagle99 of course everything you said is right … but your banking on Americans in the millions supporting a foreign team . Fans are usually connected to a city or a player . National pride , city pride plays a major role in who people route for .. the knicks suck but they have die hard fans who support them but those are mainly New Yorkers ! Not people from Canada.
I saw the same documentary that he speak of he's absolutely right
John Sally is the guy you say what's up to and he actually starts to respond with a detailed story
Back in the Tina Charles, Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, early Diana Tarausi, Swin Cash, Dawn Staley, Rebecca Lobo, Theresa Witherspoon, Cynthia Cooper days WNBA seemed better a lot of ppl knew those players. And those players were advertised more
Those players were very marketable and didn't FORCE an agenda on ppl with their sexuality or ect. Like how they do now. The WNBA is just the LGBT league now.
@@TCthaCrisis exactly, great point
John Salley, the guy who gets all his knowledge from a documentary he saw....
U know him personally?
Was he wrong about what he said?
@@TA-ht4jo Nope, the doc is an ESPN Sports Century film on former slaves playing the style of hockey people love today. Whites were playing hockey already but it there was no checking, fighting etc. I think it was called Queensberry rules but don't quote me on that.
@@TA-ht4jo nope! Someone wanna pay me 200 million for playin golf(which I'm already doing anyway) of course imma say yes tf lol
@@daysrays3987 Issa joke
Can we just quote that last John said 💯
He told the truth... that's why America is lagging behind...because the only thing pushing us is our ego
Facts! Since I was kid I never understood how there is isn't a national softball league
I do WNBA sports betting, so I have to follow all the league games and news, a major reason why their following is low is because they don't market to the biggest sports audience, heterosexual men. They market a lot of social issues, mainly LGBTQ, most male sports fans aren't into that, so the WNBA can't maximize it's fanbase.
Not only that, but the timing of the creation of the league wasn't great. Just prior to the internet, unlike other leagues, people have many more to choose from in regards to entertainment.
@@paleamigo8575 bulls hit it’s because they suck. The ufc got big after the internet
Why watch women that think they are men when you can watch real men play ball?
Exactly why I don't watch. They've gotten so manly over the years. It's like the lgbtnba now.
Never heard that one before as a Canadian.
He then later says “Supposedly” and it’s too sketchy. He’ll have to name said documentary.
"We're not number one in anything except attitude"....Truth...
It’s boring, no offense. They’re not dunking or making freakish athletic plays- not even on the level of good varsity players. I’m not saying they’re not skilled, but if your daughter isn’t on the team: why would you watch? There are plenty of men’s leagues nobody watches. We don’t pay money to watch really good, only to see the best of the best.
Facts 💯
But I'm calling it now.
Someone is going to create the "BBL WOMENS LEAGUE" Where only those big fake azz's can play. It will replace the WNBA.
Personally it’s all about options. There’s the NBA,NFL,MLB,NHL, Boxing, UFC, CollegeBall both basketball and football, concerts, the bar, my house, my moms house, etc. i would choose all of these outlets before I went to a WNBA game.
Golf before too lol
does anyone remember hearing that the singing group "Cherish" were his daughters?
Ima start going to the games
I'll go when they free Brittney Griner!

To everyone saying "lower the rims," that means the rims would have to be lowered for all other levels of womens basketball. Elementary, Middle school, HS, College, AAU, etc.
And….?
@@SugeWhite52 that's extremely inconvenient.
@@chanceklein they just need to adapt then cause 90 minutes of lay ups and dry basketball ain’t it
Instead of lowering the rims, they should eliminate the rims
Lmao
There is a book called "Black Ice" that Chronicles the introduction of African field "hockey" in Canada
100% facts he speaking at the end of the video
Fun Fact: people would rather see super tall black men do amazing things with a basketball instead of seeing super tall black women do the same.
AND THATS OK
coming from a guy that loved basketball so much that he would actually root for women's basketball to succeed. the WNBA needs a gimmick. something that could make us man at least say "ok i see you🤔" the closest thing I've ever seen to make me interested was that female shaq player who could powerhouse other women still in high school and the female dunker from Stanford who is basically doing alley Opps.
Speak on it John!!!! 🤷🏿♂️🤔
I remember once flipping channels a WNBA game was on.. the ball was stuck between the rim and backboard. The game stopped because no one could get it down. They had to get a janitor with broom to knock it down. I know why no one watches. Funny addition (Futurama.. no dunks... but good fundamentals)
Everything depends on morals of a country, customs, and are people willing to pay. Most countries have stronger ties when it comes to supporting their people even if its not family. America just has so many sports where people get paid millions and unfortunately we are more entice by skill level of whatever sport we have a prefernece for than just supporting anything just because its a sports. If more people started going to nba games its common sense it could generate more revenue, but everything is about trade offs, and at the cost of what other sport that may be in comptetion for revenue. This is the main reason most pro sports in america dont start at the same season, or why big fights usualy dont happen during other big sporting events that people are likely to all watch, because competition is either taking all the customers or they have to split the revenue. America only has more support for our country teams during olympics that it. But americans are more likely in fighting sports compared to other countries to love a fighter from another country than our own if they are good enough, though of course the favor usually goes to a us fighter, but we are more likely because we care more about skill than just loyalty to our own.
This is a great breakdown

They should experiment with the nxt spring league rim at 9’5” and watch how it explodes
This argument of the NBA and other leagues fails to address the infrastructure that the US offers vs other countries. Maybe in 50 years, other countries basketball leagues could rival the NBA, but at this time I do not see this, the same way there is no league that can dominate the EPL. Its just 100 years of history and the fact that game was invented there is just too much to overcome.
Game invented in England has nothing to do with it. Italian and Spanish leagues were more popular and had the best stars for 20yrs (80s, 90s). It's the marketing and fair play structure of the league that drove competition. That is tv rights deals fair distribution made it more appealing as well as lower teams could buy sufficiently talented players over time to atleast give you more than enough competitive games. Whereas leagues like la liga have three tops teams, individual tv bargaining and lower interest. Nobody cares about the lower teams there and they don't make enough money as Barca and Madrid dominate the lions share of the tv deals. Only a few teams will win in any league but the competitiveness among the other teams made the EPL what it is today.
It's ridiculous how one of Supreme Court Justice doesn't know what the "W" in WNBA stands for..
Huh? Are you serious? 😂
Its more of a LNBA. Basically a lesbian basketball league.

American only has 300 million ppl and a world of 7 plus billion. It is an whole world out there that can start up a new league
Facts, America is a very small market.
It's what I say about New York all the time New York is really A small town against a whole Nation
the real issue is women don't support women's sports. they rather watch the Kardashians and housewives show
"In the first half of the season 2019/2020, AX Armani Exchange Milano was the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA) team in Italy recording the highest average attendance. As of the survey period, it registered an average of 7,208 spectators." That's the No.1 team. Which is the same avg. attendance the WNBA had in the 2019 season.
He’s a fan of feelings over facts I guess lol.. I’ve never heard one person from another country tell me they enjoyed women’s basketball in their country
J. G. Creighton
J. G. Creighton was the Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia who created the first set of rules of ice hockey about 140 years ago. Upon arriving in Montreal, he presented hockey sticks and skates which were patented by Nova Scotia company in 1866.
This is true, I saw a documentary about it
Once they get an OnlyFans league, WNBA would be on the map!
You might be on to something.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
should be played in a local gymnasium High School
Shout OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY. Which is located in the great city of Norfolk Va. Salute.
The games at 24Hour fitness and LA fitness are more interesting than the WNBA. I sat through one game, to kinda "support" their league but it is just not quality basketball.
Some of us probably won’t pay attention but truth is if you look back at the NBA in the beginning stages it was a lot different to what it is currently.
The word is EVOLUTION athletes evolve even female athletes .
A few of them chicks Dunkin already and it’s only going to get better.
I’m a fan of ball PERIOD so I’m not hating
Saw the WNBA on shrooms the other day (it was on because my bro watched Summer League) and to be honest, it was pretty decent. Granted I was on drugs, but it was actually enjoyable. I dig Aja Wilson lol. It's a different game though, and instead of embracing and marketing it as such, it comes off as an inferior NBA product.
🤣🤣🤣at least you kept it 💯
We number one in people coming over here..
Say it with me…. ENTERTAINMENT….
I went to a Las Vegas Aces game on 4th of July weekend. And I took my kids. We all had fun and it was a great game, there were a LOT of people there too. Maybe if more people actually were willing to try watching it instead of knocking it, it would be more successful
I went last month to an Aces game. I’m going to see Sue Birds last game against the Aces on the 14th. I enjoy it.
You had fun because it was a trip to Vegas on 4th of July. Go to a regular game in a boring city and tell me how ya feel
Its not exciting to watch lol
@@TheBoyAustin I wish I could see her play but the same I went to was the Sabrina Ionescu triple double game
@@Taz317 it's all 3 pointers. How is that different from today's NBA?
Can people stop saying that WNBA players should start wearing more revealing uniforms to attract more attention. There are sports like gymnastics, track & field, beach volleyball, and swimming where the women wear revealing uniforms. Those sports will still never be as big as some men's sports. Tennis is different, because those women are individual brands, and I believe they are able to choose what they want to wear. Also with tennis those women have a lot of young girls that look up to them, so I think that they have to watch what they wear because they do not want to send the wrong message to young girls. In the UFC, the women wear revealing clothing, but so do the men, because that is a part of the sport. Women in the UFC are getting more attention, but it is not because of what they are wearing, it is because the product they are putting out has the potential to make a lot of money.
I've never heard anyone say that the WNBA women should dress in revealing outfits but, I think that is a disgusting thought! It's degrading and disrespectful!
Not to mention that the Bikini Basketball League and Lingerie Basketball League both made like no money
People in the comments kept mentioning that the wnba might attract more attention if they started wearing more revealing uniforms, so that is why I said that was not a good idea. People also said in the comments that they should lower the rim so there could be more dunks, but I also do not think that is a good idea. If you lower the rims than all of the players would have to adjust their shots, which could make all of their shooting percentages go down. They might be able to dunk more, but the overall shooting percentages might go down which would make the overall product worse.
First time I’ve ever heard that literally. I would pay to cover those beasts up
@@TheSands83 lol
I'm going to see Atlanta Dream tonight!!!!
Him and JB smoove never been in the same room together
Like i said before the wnba is missing a gimmick. A man could say wrestling is fake meanwhile sold billions of dollars in action figures while 1 wnba team dont even have a iconic team logo. Shows the effort put into the league.
‘Soccer always been European’.
Nah Football (what they call soccer in the US…), is not European but worldwide the biggest sport in the world.
Europe got the biggest clubs but the biggest players coming from almost everywhere.
South America, Africa and offcourse Europe.
Only Asia is not catching up with superstar football players.
They should have a golf league for 20 plus handicaps were tournaments pay out like 100k for first and 2k for last
Doesn't take a Rocket Engineer to answer that one!
The WNBA is not entertaining. Lower the rims, problem solved.
You can lower the rims to Chuck-E-Cheese Sized Rims still won't make it competitive
The 2016 WNBA finals was lit can't lie
I have NEVER seen a female wear a WNBA jersey in my life, I have seen a couple wear NBA jerseys but if a man was to wear a WNBA jersey, the jokes would fly!!!!!!!
I love John !!!!!!!! AWESOME dude!!!!!!!
This should be a three second video. “It sucks.”
The WNBA isn't as bad as people make it seem. And honestly you can learn alot from watching them play because they are less skilled. So they have to play alot of team ball. They play more fundamentally sound. It actually helped me learn the game better when I was growing up. Most little kids will benefit more from watching women than men.
Cap’n sav’em over here. Cut it out bro. You doing too much. 😂 you must have a daughter that plays basketball 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I actually like the WNBA. Mainly because hasn't been infested with the 3 point shot like the NBA so it's aesthetically pleasing to watch...If I had a daughter I would be watching more to be honest. I'm surprised more people haven't caught on yet
I totally agree 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's boring
@@afrolore7462 it's not
you just aren't invested in the players and their stories like you are with players like Lebon and Steph because they talk about it everyday on TV.
I have the same challenge in caring about who they are when trying to watch the games. But if I had a daughter I'd pay more attention.
When you think about it European soccer is the best most exciting sport on the planet. (This is common knowledge around the world) But it here in America nobody watched and you wouldn't know is because we don't have vested interest in their athletes in our media.
Soccer isn't boring just like the WNBA isn't boring. You just don't care about the players.
If you had a sister in the WNBA you'd pay more attention I'm sure. Not because the game changed. It's because you'd had a vested interest

See this is why you shouldn't make assumptions, I actually follow the WNBA, simply because I'm a sports fan in general. My favorite player is Tasha cloud from the Washington Mystics. You just don't like facts this is why you came with an emotional response
@@afrolore7462 is gold boring ?
There’s no demand for the wnba. You would think someone would get the hint after 30 plus years of not making a profit.
They dont do outreach to the local public schools. I would start there and do raffle tickets for schools.
The popcorn was stale
The end of the Underground Railroad was Canada. Plenty crossed from Niagara Falls and other border cities and towns
I couldn't say it any better. We think we should be cater to wherever we go. I see it when I was in the military and we pulled in a foreign port the way some of us used to act. Some of the attitudes, um um um.
In the south there was no ice Vlad is a genius!!!!
I remember my coach got free third row tickets to a Chicago Sky game lol and no one wanted them he couldn’t even give them away
He says people show up for women's basketball in other counties, but I don't see huge crowds in any pictures or videos.
Underground Railroad ends in North Buxton, Ontario, Canada...about 1.5hrs from Detroit
Native tribes in Nova Scotia were playing "hockey" in 1760's
THE MORE U KNOW
😶🤔
Women's tennis, track and gymnastics. It's only thing I watch
