Average player salary 35,, you ladies are currently drawing an average of 75, That's far above what the NBA was earning at the same time frame in league development, your earning that at a lower overall income point league wide. Your argument does not hold water.

You are comparing leagues at vastly different levels of development, further you are expecting owners to reward you with money they don't have. Joined: Oct 6, Do you mean backwards strides?

The wonder is not why it hasn't turned a profit, but why the WNBA still exists given its low level of athleticism. You're more likely to see a slam dunk in a middle-school boys game than an NBA game. With male pro sports continuing to make huge profits, how can you say they're taking a hit? It looks like your response is based on political correctness rather than reality.

The league is generating enough income to cover 86 percent of the expenses. Looks like a viable enterprise that with a few promotional tweaks and sponsors can move forward. Glass is way more than half full.

Women's basketball is basketball in its purest form—the way the game is supposed to be played.

Okay—so why doesn't anyone like it? Don't get me wrong. I like women's basketball just fine and all, but ask me to watch it outside of the NCAA tournament This young lady might not be the answer, but at least she's a strong start.

Okay, you have your "face" of the league. Now you need a rival player, team, or something that sparks controversy. We need some trash-talking, a little in your face action to get the media's attention. I'm not saying we need another Pistons-Pacers brawl, but a little bravado never hurt anyone. Believe or not, as much as the NBA and NFL discourage trash-talking and animosity among its players, that's a lot of what drives up ratings.
