I have the dubious distinction of following the WNBA closely since about 2017, solely because of gambling. In no uncertain terms, and by any measure, the league is an absolute joke.
The most obvious inherent problem with the WNBA is the fact that women are involved, so obviously it's a bunch of faggy shit all the time. But even beyond that, the biggest problem with the product itself is simply a lack of talent across the board.
The fact that they are now adding expansion teams is comical. Who do they think is going to play for these teams? The talent disparity between starters and bench players is impossible to quantify. The only team with any depth at all is the Minnesota Lynx, and they're not even in title contention because two teams (NY and Vegas) are hogging all of the good starters, making the league even more imbalanced.
I cannot stress this enough, there are less than 25 women on planet Earth that are truly qualified to be professional basketball players. I'm not saying the average guy can beat a WNBA bench player, or that every shot is an airball. I am objectively stating that the talent disparity between the players is too great to constitute a professional league.
I believe if they really went all-in on embracing the fact that gambling is the backbone of their league, they would be much better off. Put live odds on the screen, all that shit. But again, these are faggy women, so when one retarded guy sends an empty death threat to a player because they missed a shot, they'll call in the ACLU or whatever the fuck, protest their own games, and make the news for all the wrong reasons, just like always.
