Actually having 1 facility is cost efficient for a new league with 6 teams and the tv deals with tnt and max gives them a larger pool to gain fans and if the product and tv appeal is good theyll be 👍
An untested 3 on 3 league going up against NFL, NHL, and NBA. There is a reason the WNBA starts later in the season. Playing in front of 850 fans does not give it that energy that all games get. Playing against the NCAA womens basketball, fans are loyal to their university and their players. WNBA teams have a built in fan base where fans have favorite players. Watching 6 random women playing basketball, most of them you have never heard of. I hope I am wrong, all the women are underpaid.
It's not their goal to compete with them... or ulis attendance important...they are trying to develop something...something of their own where they can create money and build brands,,work on their game...etc etc
Not having a city to tie each team to is a huge detractor. Let’s not pretend individual players in the W have a huge following outside of a very select few, and two of those few are not playing. Also, they want to put pressure on the W but their comments betray them when they allude to this league helping them improve their game for the W or how this league can put pressure on the W to do better. Basically crowning the W as the highest level. It doesn’t compute.
They never stated this league would compete with WNBA but in place where W players won't have to go overseas away from their families in order to be financially stable in the W off-season.
They are just starting out. It would suck if they had a 5000+ seat arena and it was mostly empty. They have to built to a larger audience. Also the games are all in the same venue which limits who can attend.
I'll be shocked if this is successful. I imagine there'll be some interest for the first two games, and then it'll just fall off. They have the heels, but no babyfaces that anyone cares about. Wnba's been around for 25 plus years and they still don't have proper infrastructure to put on quality games. It would be truly amazing if these guys were able to get it all right on the first try.
So you haven't been paying attention to Sabally's words. The only place she could go is to the Fever. She already made it clear that she won't be playing with her sister. Sabally wants to win NOW. The ONLY place it makes sense for her to go is the Fever.
@@kennethcook3127 ok...And neither are the Sky, so why would she want to do that? So then, please tell everyone where YOU believe she will end up. We are all waiting.
Listen I'm not trying to pee on anyone's cheerios but this league will fold under 2 years. The NFL is arguably the top tier in the USA, right? Yet many other leagues have come & folded why cause "Casuals" who actually spend money not thie hardcore fans who are "KEYBOARD" Warriors & that's it recognize what came 1st. This isn't "The Chicken or the Egg" scenario. Why is it the 3 on 3 dudes playing at Rutgers Park never caught on? Don't get me wrong it's a blast to see dudes dunk "FOR A MOMENT" but unless it's real NBA no one cares except pockets of (no offense) unemployed dudes who have no direction with their lives. WNBA needs to grow 1st before they even try to experiment with a "Rivaled" league, I get it they want to get paid. These ladies need to work on their craft(basketball) instead of bi+ching & moaning, put out a good product. This reminds me of "Fallout 76", how many promises were made then the game dropped & it was literally unplayable. CC22 did a fantastic job making us believe the W is something we should care about but unless the refs get better(no WWE training), players make over 50% of their layups attempts(it can't be this hard, if Shaq can hit 55% free throws these ladies need to do better), CC22 can't be the only 1 who can throw a TD pass for a layup? I'm sorry Paige, who looks like a bust at the next level isn't going to save this league next year. Unrivaled will be a trivia answer 5 years from now at your local watering hole(bar) on trivia night. So stop it trying to hype a lost cause
Wow only 5 main comments that mention CC. Nice to see some love and interest for the other players too. I think it goes without saying to any rational person what she did. We all know about her. we don't need to state the obvious in every single instance. On topic, I hope CC practices against men at least as much as the unrivaled players play, so she is as game ready and sharp as these players when the wnba season starts. That is what I can't wait for. But I sure am excited we have less than a week to go to watch unrivaled. I wish them success.
You know how you generate an audience its content creators like yourself that PROMOTES, ADVERTISE the league, because mainstream legacy media sadly has failed female athletes for years on purpose. ESPN #1 culprit during the NFL/NBA offseason when most women are playing for the league they make little to no effort to market the WNBA, female soccer leagues etc. and folks are interested, if they know for sure those sports network like ESPN/Fox Sports etc. will air the games and promote the living heck out of it on a daily basis like they do for male athletes, they will watch. There is not a day you don't turn on ESPN Network and they not ad nauseatingly talking about Dallas Cowboys, Lakers etc. even when those teams are not winning or going anywhere. So why not promote these female athletes when their games are on, its only right, I have been a big fan of the WNBA since its inception, my favorite team was Houston Comets (Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoops, Tina Thomas, the late Kim Perrot(rip) back in the day, a team I really would like the league to bring back to the WNBA if they are consider expansion. First team to win the WNBA championship, this team in particular put the WNBA on the map along with Liberty/Sparks etc. So that being said Unrivaled the new league can succeed if mainstream media doesn't sabotage it like the have done for years with the WNBA, thank you TNT Network who will be airing the games, I will certainly be watching. Best of luck ladies...
You said it Sam if Caitlin didn’t show up to the W there probably will be an unrivaled league it starts with Caitlin. I will not be watching at all 3 on 3 a big pass for me.
Is Caitlin Clark even interested in playing basketball anymore,I mean Steph Curry is an old timer,so golfing in the off season is par for the course for him,but a rookie can't be so tired she needs to dissappear from the Sport!
@@kittenkats Caitlin is either sick or lazy ,because she hasn't played anymore basketball than Camilla ,Angel,Kelsey M .,Chennedy or any of the other Women who play off-season ball in Europe, Turkey, China or Unrivaled or because of Her PRIVILEGE ,that Her fans claim doesn't exist,that she gets Special Treatment or is She possibly TIRED of having her Ass kissed!
Wouldn't it be a better idea to Hold Off on Talking Smack until after One Whole Game has been Played??

The facility is tough 🔥
Just one practice court for all 6 teams tho? 🧐
So 3 on 3 women’s basketball is gonna take over sports? Gtfoh
Just Like Every Other Failed "Gimmick Sport"

They also don't understand how soccer clubs work outside of the United States. They're all tied to their physical locations.
The fans are a big part of any sport competition. With only 800 spectators it will sound pretty quiet.
It seems that Unrivaled is kind of women basketball club for improve communication between players.
The arena only has 800 seats for fans they don’t have high expectations for fans. They are 100% relying on viewership from media.
Games are behind paywall. They’re not going to get viewership
They are just starting out. It would suck if they had a 5000+ seat arena and it was mostly empty. They have to built to a larger audience. Also the games are all in the same venue which limits who can attend.
Ignorance is bliss
7:50 Why did she lie like Caitlin is not the reason? 🤣🤣🤣
Napheesaa Collier has credited CC, but most of the others want to pretend the fans want to see them.
They should be. on the ALL the Guy NBA. Pods promoting this mad Gil's show Shannon Sharp's. Pod!!

Video is deceiving. All their data is due to Clark.

lol, fever isn’t winning, so why would she want to do that? Lol

be grateful u have a league even if it just a stepping stone (and this is to all genders)
Why he put the mouse on juju nose like that😂
The league looks amazing but I agree after the first week it’s probably cooked unless they generate some crazy drama

Blech. Where's the pool on when this collapses?
Like LIV golf. No one cares
Another woke liberal idea that’ll tank
You said it Sam if Caitlin didn’t show up to the W there probably will be an unrivaled league it starts with Caitlin. I will not be watching at all 3 on 3 a big pass for me.
They criticize Caitlin for not playing in the league... Aja Wilson why she not supporting The sisterhood
Cuz She's the IT. girl so u don't need AJA lol 😂 although she the MVP. of the League
@dariusewing6962 Caitlyn Clark is The it girl!!!! Nobody cared about the WNBA until that white girl showed up
They can thank Caitlin Clark for that
funny u gotta thank Reese for giving them, someone. to hate. lol 😂
For what? Quit trying to force that dude on us
They need to at least get Caitlin to make her presence felt in the league by getting her to games
Is Caitlin Clark even interested in playing basketball anymore,I mean Steph Curry is an old timer,so golfing in the off season is par for the course for him,but a rookie can't be so tired she needs to dissappear from the Sport!
@ stupid question
@@geraldbrown-n1c She's resting in the off-season and training, so she can be even better next season!

Why? She's on vacation? Her season is over. She didn't sign up for this bull crap. She can golf, surf, play golf. Sleep. Do what she wants.
