If any of the righteous are selling their season tickets hit me up gladly add some more.
I don't watch ESPN, but that would make sense that they would be promoting the league to boost ratings. Really, though, their ratings have been horrible...check Nielsen's, but I can see they are desperately trying to lead with a few star players. The virus is certainly not going to help them.Come on man, ESPN is the lead national broadcaster of the league, Sabrina debut plus other games of course SportsCenter showed/shows highlights

This is better than walking off as the anthem is being played but still disrespectful.
How did ESPN get this so wrong?
Why do they play the National Anthem when there aren't any fans? I'm all for it when there are fans but without?
Why do these same players take American currency in their paychecks if they are so against America?
I hope our players would never be that disrespectful. If they are how many fans will walk out? If they stay for that particular game will they return for any others?I think many of you are full of bologna, when our players knell you will still watch and you will come here to complain about it.
Screaming for attention. In a league where half the teams can’t even draw 6,000 fans.
Disgraceful, and ladies, your product stinks anyway.
The last part of this post is absurd. Part of being American is the ability to disagree and speak your beliefs no? Again with the usual get of the country bs.
Another one implying this group, now women have it or have been treated "good enough" by now....european league women's hoops actually pays better than wnba which is why many wnba players in normal circumstances play overseas and then come back and play a wnba season...while their may be exceptions of some regions or countries stuck in ancient times with their view of women, and while work still needs to be done everywhere i believe that there is a good sense of open mindedness, inclusiveness and progressive movement for female empowermentPure PR stunt. And let them compare woman’s rights here compared to the rest of the world, athletics or otherwise.
Not absurd at all.
When you chose to disrespect the National Anthem, you are choosing to disrespect the nation. The nation that you gladly accept its currency. Can't be too upset then, can you? Makes it seem more like a "Hey, look at me" moment, not a sacrifice of any sorts.
Part of being American IS the ability to disagree and speak your beliefs. And part of being American is the ability for others to react to your speech and actions. You don't get carte blanche to be untouchable. The American way is not listen to what I say and do and then shut up about it if you disagree, no?
I am amped for college basketball, stinks you won’t get to watch.
I dont think any woman on a roster in the wnba would have any issue with you or anyone else opposing views on how they expressed themselves in that one game.Not absurd at all.

Now you’re just being disparaging of women’s sports in general. Absolutely shameful sexism, but not entirely unexpected as one -ism in someone usually accompanies others.
You'll only be watching on TV.
And IF our basketball teams did chose to be disrespectful like that, nobody will see it as they don't show the anthem on TV.
But hey, you're a real American social justice warrior as long as nobody dare challenges you.

I dont care that people here disagree with how those women chose to express themselves in that situation. I am pro for them deciding what to do. They didnt physically assault anyone. They didnt use foul language. However, the crux of the scenario on this thread is that WNBA, no one goes to games, no one watches on TV, the players are irrelevant. This was an attention grab moment. Breonna Taylor was murdered in vain. There is definitely a sexist against women dynamic implied by some here.Probably not but some here sure do.
Breonna Taylor was murdered in vain.
Ha your finding a way to now justify that will still watch it got it.
And cheers to you my friend the true American Patriot who won’t watch spots because of a group of young men’s choice to silent protest.
Ok so do believe that if Breonna Taylor were a white woman with a white live in bf who had a registered/licensed firearm and she may have had known assocation with two white drug dealers who push weed and vicodin on the black market that the same timeline of events would have occurred?Breonna Taylor wasn't murdered, she was the unfortunate victim of silly no-knock raid laws. And it had nothing to do with her skin color.

My reply wasn't a wnba thing, it was a global women thing...i am aware of the wnba and the marketplace it finds itself in.You never quit. They're paid their market value. Since nobody gives a crap about the WNBA they're lucky there is a league. I know NYs are fleeing the city in droves, please don't bring your weak, liberal crybaby viewpoints to NW jersey.

Only because you want it to. In your twisted world, criticizing a woman makes you sexist; criticizing an African American makes you racist. You can’t debate something on merit so this is your only pathetic defense.I dont care that people here disagree with how those women chose to express themselves in that situation.

Typical weak response....Good to see our supposed catholic inclusive base trashing women, basketball players and the league they play in
Shu09 on this thread called the players irrelevant. They are among the highest skilled people that do their craft in the entire world for their sex. I am not asking anyone here to be a fan of them or advocate for the WNBA. Another thread that HallDan started on reg board ends up here because the radicals show how divisive they really are.Only because you want it to.

Another rambling rant with no point. No one said they aren’t talented. Their entertainment value is another story and ratings and attendance don’t lie.Shu09 on this thread called the players irrelevant.

As you said free market dictates...my point to all of this is that i dont care about their gate or tv ratings, i am glad they are keeping breonna taylor in a conversation. I am glad african american young professional athletes of both genders care to have a voice and yes they do actions beyond their job/court.Another rambling rant with no point.

We should be paying research scientists a heck of a lot more than basketball players.
And in my opinion this is more about being relevant and really caring about the cause. There is nothing sexist about that opinion as much as you want to make it.As you said free market dictates...my point to all of this is that i dont care about their gate or tv ratings, i am glad they are keeping breonna taylor in a conversation.

Like what?I would like to see our white senators help do something to make america better and great again in all communities.
