The one girl...the one with tons of rebounds because she grabs her own misses...says she wants top tier NBA money.
This is such a huge win for the players and owners, that it's ridiculous.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Oh, I wasn't arguing that. I totally agree. I was just saying that it will not end the bitching.

The only people losing in this deal are the networks who paid to air WNBA games. :lol:

Well, that's it's own story. I have no idea if it's working out for the networks. Curious though

To be fair, sometimes networks will take a loss on something just so they can check some boxes.

For example: ESPN has been known to fill their airtime with stuff nobody watches just to keep with the 24/7/365 sports theme. Is anybody really watching the minigolf championship?

The WNBA is a big box checked as it's professional women's sports.

Back before women's college hoops became more diverse, they were some of the easiest bets to make. Vegas could not set the lines high enough. UCONN -60? Yeah, they'll cover that easy, and they would.

That being said, Stranger and I have a friend who I caught gambling on women's field hockey or something. I said, "You know you have a problem, right?" He smiled and said, "Yeah."
