What I love about this thread is all the hidden Misogyny in it. People can't just help themselves. The same people who hate the NBA also hate the fact they help the WNBA, where does it stop.

What does misogyny mean?What I love about this thread is all the hidden Misogyny in it. People can't just help themselves. The same people who hate the NBA also hate the fact they help the WNBA, where does it stop.
I thought he sarcastic.
I'd be curious if a single woman could make the rosters if that merger took place.
That is ridiculous, where on here does anybody say anything about hating women, where does anybody even hint at that?What I love about this thread is all the hidden Misogyny in it. People can't just help themselves. The same people who hate the NBA also hate the fact they help the WNBA, where does it stop.
I had to look it up, I'm not sure if that makes me a "hidden" hater of women or just clueless.
A woman in the wnba RIGHT NOW, could not make A KANSAS/Duke/ unc roster

We have had the most dominant WBB program in the country over the past six years. It has been populated with great athletes, homegrown heroes, and marvelous role models. It has been coached by a woman revered in basketball circles, who was elected by her peers to carry the flag in the Olympics representing our nation.What I love about this thread is all the hidden Misogyny in it.

It is something every Gamecock should take pride in and yet....... there is a constant faction on this board who seek to denigrate women’s athletic achievements, especially in basketball.
They are continually antagonistic to our WBB program. I have no answer for the source of this animus. Just that I find it odd that Gamecocks raised in a society that proclaims to honor women belittle those who bring athletic glory to our university.
That would actually be perfectly awesome if WNBA players demanded equal pay. WNBA minimum salary is around $60,000. NBA minimum salary is close to $1 million. No way the WBA would foot the bill for that. Actually, they just might be dumb enough to do it.
There's enough people out there who want the WNBA such that the MNBA subsidizing it creates sufficient good will for all involved.
Probably could make the women's roster of said schools.....
You said dawn is a woman???? Tell me what a woman is, and how do you know Dawn identifies as such? Sounds like you do a lot of assuming there Toby
But nobody, aside from the players and coaches, would be all that upset if they pulled the plug tomorrow.

Stopped on this reply. Hopefully as I continue you didn’t get flamed. It’s a great analogy and it made me spit up my drink.
I agree. I’d watch equestrian if we were in n the mix. I mean it’s my fightin roosters I’d watch chess If a Gamecock were in it for the big prize. Just sayin.Spoken like a true Gamecock. Passively cheering on even those Gamecock sports of which you have no interest (no sarcasm - I earnestly mean this).
You’re spot on with the comment it gives little girls an opportunity. Completely agree.
I disagree it doesn’t come down to the money. It will never happen, but IF the Chinese market closed for the NBA the WNBA would fold like a cheap card table. Margins would get thin for NBA.
At the end of the day would you go to work for no pay? Probably not. An owner of a WNBA team would not lose money indefinitely.
But to me, the elephant in the room is WHY? Why doesn’t the WNBA make money? I was in high school when it launched and ESPN2 was all over it. It’s not a lack of marketing.
I would not be upset if the MNBA plug were pulled tomorrow. Nor the WNBA. But that's just me.
In the 26 years of WNBA play, there's been something like 30 dunks. Total.

I always assumed it was just absolute die-hard basketball fans who went to these games, but that can't be the case because this isn't basketball.

GG Jackson could play in the WNBA tonight and instantly be the best player in the history of the game.
Well, with 12 teams and an average attendance of 7,000 (rounding up considerably), one could reasonable assume there are about 42,000 feminists in the country (6 games x 7,000 fans/game).
What's wild, with how pitiful the WNBA is in absolutely every single metric, there are some who feel the WNBA needs to EXPAND:
The WNBA desperately needs to expand in so many different ways and now is the perfect time to do it
The WNBA has too much talent without a place for it.

Imagine Coca-Cola saying "we're going to increase production of New Coke!"
One of the posters before claimed there was a bunch of misogyny because of all the hate for the wnba. You said they weren't true feminist, and I said because of the misoginy.

I assure you it's not misogyny on my part. I'm equally critical of professional spring football.
It's a blanket statement like how all conservatives are nazis. It used by idiots that cant think critically
You cannot claim to love basketball AND enjoy the WNBA. You may watch it and claim to enjoy it because you feel some more obligation, but you cannot enjoy it for the basketball.
it would be like saying you go to Golden Corral because you love steak.
