Have you ever seen a WNBA game? Sure, it's the same sport but that logic applies to middle school basketball teams as well and no one gives a shit about those either regardless of the gender of the athletes involved.
The reason professional sports are fun to watch is you get to see the best athletes in the world push the limits of what is physically possible for a human to achieve. Top level women cannot compete with top level men in any regularly televised sport, including basketball. No one wants to watch Caitlin Clark on channel 3 when LeBron James is doing way more impressive things on channel 6. That's just the way it is. I don't get why people pretend that isn't obvious and get offended by it.
They should allow light gymnastics in the WNBA to even up the entertainment value. A series of backflips down the court before hitting nothing but net on a 3 would sure get my attention.
Nope. Can't say that I have. I've also never watched an NBA game.
I'm not the target audience. I'm just commenting from an outsiders perspective. I don't "get" it, and I don't expect to.
Have a good day.
Their seasons don't really overlap tho, you're not missing LeBron by watching Caitlin Clark.
It overlaps with other sports where we can see the competition to be the best in the world at another sport.
Ok but that wasn't the point the person I was responding to was making.
