Guess the new owners didn’t have enough money left when they bought the team for $3bn.

Well, do they? They rake in loads of cash.

ratings are down like 30% from last year and everyone despises the way the game is played now.

Just saw this somewhere else.

They ended up giving him the PS5 after people online started freaking out, but why the fuck would they do this in the first place? Lol.

This is nuts LOL!

Funny that Caitlin Clark comes along and puts the WNBA on the map and 99% of the WNBA hates her for it

That's not true. That's the BS narrative that's pushed out there because not enough people are doing what StreetsofBeige says below.

Every owner and player should be kissing her feet she arrived. Ratings way up (though I believe heavily skewed to her games, but that still counts), sponsorship up, most TV coverage Ive seen ever.

It's like a food bank that relies on donations and government funds for decades got lucky and a rich guy walked in one day and gave them a cheque for a million dollars. And if they want more, just put his mugshot on every charity ad and people will donate.

Saying stuff like this is what creates the animosity between the day one WNBA fans and their new casual fans. It's crazy. Their ratings were going up before Clark was drafted. It did go up by way more after she was drafted.

The net worth of the team owner is 400 million dollars, btw.

Have you not seen how other players treat her?

Like I say I dont watch it but have seen enough clips

Did they ever explain why they even did this? I don't understand the point of pretending to give this kid a gift.

I haven't seen her either but doesn't she talk a lot of shit? I always thought thats why the players hated her. Similar to Connor Mcgregor. He did a lot to elevate fighter pay but he talked so much shit that most fighters couldn't stand him.

She talked A LOT of shit in college at least as heard it personally while she played IU

No wonder everyone hates the NBA these days

Well, do they? They rake in loads of cash.

Hate-watchers have been more of a trend this decade.

I have and it was rough. But that's how they play all women in the WNBA. Shockingly it's tougher than the NBA. Those girls steady beat each other up.

And she still does in the WNBA. I think it's great for their game. She reminds me of Larry Bird for a few reasons.

Adam Silver literally got on tv yesterday or the day prior to defend his shit league from all the criticism. He didn’t do it well.

 

[spons]

This is some of the most pathetic shit I've seen in a good while.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

They should've given him a DVD player in exchange for no reason. Double down on the random insult.
