2/3rds the viewership for <1% of the salary. Incredible analysis.

How many of those women who watched mens sports on broadcast had their husbands put it on?

And how many of the women who didn't watch sports wanted to but had to cook dinner or look after the kids while the man watched sports?

Lol @ women's sports having 2/3rds of the viewership of men's sports.

The economy is a market. Stop trying to think it's some conspiracy. The demand isn't there, therefore the dollars aren't there. It's pretty effing simple.


Omg females on OF make way more than males on OF, I wonder why. Where is the equality!?!?!

Maybe 5%

Your cook dinner or look after the kids point might have some merit, but remove that from the equation and sports is not what the majority would be watching. It's real housewives, love is blind, or some hgtv show.

If women are so uninterested in sports, where are all these world class athletes coming from?

or just mind your own business and not give a **** about others religions...you know...like the constitution says

stupid magats

The Constitution says nothing of the sort, stupid.

Also, I'm pretty sure that coordi isn't MAGA.

Moving forward, please try to be a little less stupid, Thinman. Thanking you in advance.

And how many women just find watching sports far less fulfilling and/or interesting than a gazillion other things they could be doing instead?

Who said women are uninterested in watching sports? All I saw was a graphic showing that women are a bit less interested in watching sports.

WNBA viewership is ~85% of NBA

Guys, I don't really care that much. I'm not the ones arguing for the sanctity of womens sports while shitting on womens sports and women in general. There is this weird general hypocrisy among many of the things you all think and this is just one more of those things

As far as I can tell, the bolded describes literally NOBODY in this thread. Virtually all of us guys in this discussion enjoy ladies' sports. Why do you lie so much?

p.s. wanna play chess??

He can't help it. He sees the world in black and white and has this extreme tendency to lump those he disagrees with together so if one person he disagrees with says something then everyone he disagrees with thinks that thing.

I thought this was bs but ai said average WNBA viewership 1.2 mil per game, NBA 1.5-2 mil per game.
Wow, that's damn good. Of course there are more teams in the NBA so much more total viewers per season but still seems pretty successful. Even with way lower ticket prices, less merch sales, you would think there is still enough to pay even the bench warmers enough to not have to go play in turkey or Russia in the off-season to make ends meet.
I used to talk mad trash about the WNBA product but after Caitlin got me to pay attention it's a much more physical game than the NBA. Don't get me started on all the traveling non calls in the NBA these days. The pivot foot has gone extinct.

That's not what the chart says.

Yet the league continues to lose money. What you forget is your just counting US viewership not worldwide which the NBA does well at. These women play for the love of the game and I can not imaging being traded to a city like NY making $80,000

For many fans you can take your family out to watch a game at an affordable rate . You can take your daughter to a game and say tell her if she excels she can play there to as long as man doesn't take her high school or college spot because he wasn't good enough to compete against men


It’s funny that lozen still thinks some high schooler is going through the arduous process of transitioning solely to excel in women’s sports.

Yeah, the WNBA numbers are way higher than I would have expected, like 80+% of the viewership of the NBA? "We can't pay the women because no one wants to watch women's sports" sure doesn't hold a lot of water.

Yeah. If you are a man, think about whether there is any universe in which you would pretend to be transgender, much less go through the process of taking hormones, in order to dominate women's sports. Of all the concerns that have ever been raised about transgender athletes and women's sports, that is surely one of the least serious.

People have done crazier things for less.

We don't actually know this.

You see on one hand, women's sports are going broke because no one cares and no one wants to watch them play. On the other hand, women's sports are a sacred American institution that needs to be aggressively policed by national political parties.

If they can't turn a profit with 80% of the viewership of the NBA, there's an obvious management issue that has little to do with the popularity of the sport.

After seeing those numbers, I agree.

The players and management are negotiating a new CBA as we speak.
