WNBA player says women's basketball isn't popular because they are mainly black

https://thehill.com/changing-america...l-isnt-popular
“Even though we're female athletes playing at a high level, our worlds, you know, the soccer world and the basketball world are just totally different,” Bird explained to CNN Sport reporter Don Riddell.

“And to be blunt it's the demographic of who's playing. Women's soccer players generally are cute little White girls while WNBA players, we are all shapes and sizes ... a lot of Black, gay, tall women ... there is maybe an intimidation factor and people are quick to judge it and put it down,” she said.

Of course it couldn't be the fact that they would be smacked by a HS boys JV team.

People watch sports to watch the best. The average NBA player is better than the average WNBA player so people will always watch NBA over WNBA.

Also lol at them trying to drag race, sexual preference and body image into this. Strong coping

"The manlet is a savage beast that knows no moral bound. After falling in disgrace to a manmore, a ravaged manlet would not hesitate to come from behind and land a sucker punch/ swing with a rock to the back of a manmore's head. They are ruthless and you need to spend some more time in the gutter to even begin trying to comprehend what goes on in their minds."

Sorry but the WNBA overall is just bad. I could put on a wig and dominate it myself.

Soccer is more popular because its played all over the world while black women have pigeonholed themselves into just the WNBA. It has nothing to do with "cute white girls".

terrible sport to watch, fun to play. you have 7 foot people dunking on 10 foot rims. 150 years ago when the game was invented there were no 7 foot people. raise the rims to 15 feet to maybe make it at least a little bit interesting. right now it's nothing more than just watching a game of monkey-dunk. games too slow and boring, too many games. NBA sucks. WNBA sucks. low IQ sport.

I for one am in favor of that. Let the NBA subsidize 9 figure contracts for the WNBA. Watch how fast they do an about face on social justice issues.

I imagine it would be even worse in basketball. The more explosive power needed for the sport the bigger the talent gap between genders.

It's unwatchable and terrible.

Lower the rim by a foot and you'll see more dunks and more athletes rather than giant blobs who can't run or do anything. That might actually make it a more exciting game to watch.

Not gonna lie if the women's beach volleyball players weren't hot I doubt I'd watch but when that chit comes on TV I find myself mesmerized. For me to watch soccer they'd have to not only be hot but naked with a chance of making out with each other. I've tried to like soccer I really have but I just can't watch that chit. Rugby on the other hand is really fun to watch
