All you need to know is this: Kim Kardashian is a BILLIONAIRE- almost solely because Women will watch anything she does and buy any of her products. Ladies don’t want to watch women’s sports.
Facts. Why aren't those arenas packed with women? Because women don't enjoy basketball as much as men do, they aren't built that way. They would rather watch another episode of Gossip Girl. And that's the reality. And it's not on us men to support the WNBA, we shouldn't be told to do it either. WNBA needs to promote their product to women, not men.

Yet women support yall and yall can’t figure out how to support women. Never mind women are taking care of men and don’t have time for hobbies because yall are useless. But hey whatever.
I WISH the WNBA players would put egos aside & let the league LOWER THE RIMS to 9 Feet... it would SAVE THE LEAGUE. The size of the ball is already a bit smaller, so make the rim a bit lower❗️
I disagree. The fact that the men are dunk in the ball all the time has eliminated the need for widespread basketball skills and is hurting the NBA and now the men's NCAA. The reason why college women's basketball is popular is its skill based and team orientated
@@jimkoll52 I think it’s a mistake for women to keep rejecting lower rims. Women can jump, just not as high as men. That’s why in volleyball, for example, the nets for women are almost a foot lower. Many people don’t realize that. I’d bet if women basketballers played with lower rims, they would love it - and so would fans.
@@jimkoll52 No, what's hurting the NBA is the rules changes have made it easier than ever to score. As someone who has watched ball since 1980, I literally have to turn off the tv when I see guys take 5 steps and don't get called for traveling, get rewarded for flopping, etc., etc. The latest all star game was 211-186. THAT is why ratings are going down. That was embarrassing.
No! Do not lower the rims. They already have a smaller ball. Are we going to lower the rims also for elementary and middle school competitors? How about shortening the length of the basketball court while you're at it. Maybe allow 7 or 8 fouls per player, eliminate the traveling call and out-of-bounds lines. How else can we be of assistance to you, ma'am. Free throws worth 2 points and three pointers worth points? Sure! Would you like a foot massage during halftime? We are here to accommodate you in whatever way you feel it to be necessary? As a matter of fact, we will no longer allow biological males to hold sporting records. Girl power!!! Yaaaaaaaay!
I remember an ESPN female analyst complaining about WNBA salaries and the league never getting the spotlight like other pro leagues, yet she was shown at an NFL, NBA, and MLB game. She never showed any pics on her social media page of her attending any WNBA game. She's part of the problem.
Uconn is a bad comparison. They don't have pro sports in their community. And, the student body and family and friends make up a large part of the attendance.
Then stop complaining about women not having equal pay. If you women aren't interested and don't feel the need to support other women in sports, then why should the men have that obligation?
Caitlin Clark more than likely won't need to play overseas, she'll make a ton of money in endorsements alone; as a matter of fact, if i'm MJ, i'm getting on the phone with her agent asap to try and make a sneaker deal with her. On another note, I heard a stat a few years back that the #1 demographic for the wnba is older white men. So apparently, men are already doing their part to support that league.
Thank you Rob Parker for speaking common sense. I've been making this simple point. Women outnumber men. If women went to the games, this is a non issue. Period.
The WNBA should be mad at Beyonce and Taylor Swift. Not men. Let Beyonce, Kim K, and Taylor Swift show up to the games. Women would come in flocks. The women's movement and feminist movement is a fraud. Women hate each other lol
@LouSeph I've given it a chance and I've fell asleep each time. It's boring, slow, and not entertaining. It's not about being able to dunk( that would help ) but all the missed lay ups, falling, and its just a tough overall watch
@@RushBig0786 some NBA games are like that. But the women’s college product is the same game and the ratings are out doing the NBA. I am not trying to shame men into watching the WNBA. If you don’t like it that’s fine - you gave it a chance. I enjoy the more fundamental team ball - I don’t need the dunking. I don’t like the dunking in the NBA cause it’s mostly in wide open lanes with guys scared to get dunked on. I am the same age as LeBron - graduated high school the same year (2003). So I am not some 60 year old crying for the Russell Celtics - I am crying for early 2000s. I came up watching MJ yes - but AI and Kobe. I live in Philly - had partial season tickets for years including 2001 and seeing Shaq and Kobe in the finals live. I want that back in the NBA. To me the WNBA is giving me more real basketball - the NBA is WWE. The stats look good - the games are unwatchable. The AND-1 mixtape tour had more competition than the NBA regular season. NFL preseason is more intense than the NBA regular season. But women’s college ball is the same as the WNBA but not as athletic - why are those ratings up - while the WNBA ratings while up are not near the women’s college ratings. Let’s see if they promote Caitlin Clark properly.
@@RushBig0786 that’s a problem with them promoting it. They need to promote it. I was disgusted with the WNBA players - cause their ALLSTAR game was on national tv 8:30 ABC Saturday night in the summer - their game was as bad as the NBA ALLSTAR game. That was a shot to promote your game and they didn’t get it that was really sad to me. Like don’t be entitled like NBA players are if you wanna grow the league.

No more 2 handed layups no more unforced turnovers cause they have no handles. And promote the baddies even if they can’t hoop. The best players in the league are mud ducks😭
Women simply don't have the physical ability to attract me to watch. I don't want to watch 6'9" women jump 2 inches off the ground. It's as simple as that. They need to get more physical and feel that if they actually work on the physical, more of them could dunk. 13 year old pre-high school boys are breaking off windmill dunks. I'll watch the G-League over the WNBA.
@@hitek9too255but you have to generate more to get more. They may deserve it, but their league loses money every year. The WNBA has NEVER turned a profit in any single year
Dudes, there are only so many hours in a day and only so much expendable income. You guys sell sports but regular folks pay the bills. People nowadays have to prudently live in the real world and can't afford the time or money to support celebrity fantasy livelihoods. When it is all said and done, once the fan base builds these jocks up, it is the same fans that receive the scorn of these celebrities. Let those bastards feed themselves. Regular people need to feed their families. When I was skipping my school homework assignments as a teenager to watch NFL and NBA games my mother would tell me, "Son, they got there's, you better focus on getting yours!"
the WNBA needs a better PR team, and with caitlin clark and angel reese set to enter the league frankly they oughta push a rivalry between them the same way the NBA did with larry bird and magic johnson. there's really nothing enticing about watching the WNBA. hell even the NBA is beginning to become boring.
Well, I'd rather watch the WNBA just because the players care more about their sport currently than the men care about the NBA. I've gone to several WNBA games. The game isn't as exciting as the NBA because WNBA players aren't as athletic, but you can find good basketball. The WNBA has terrible marketing & the women are too prideful to make changes to the game.
@@atlien1988 . I went to the Liberty game and it was so entertaining. In fact, I found it more interesting then the men’s professional game. I don’t think personally in my opinion there was a second coming to Jorden. Maybe Kobe, may he rest in peace. Steph Curry also has imprinted the NBA AS well. Now it is CC3 (Caitlin Clark) Logo 3- time to shine.
@@atlien1988The thing is ESPN and ABC never broadcast or highlight any WNBA game despite always complaining about their salaries and their visibility.
You can’t force people to consume a product they don’t want buy. It’s called basic economics..what you’re selling will be sold for the price that the market is willing to pay. And there’s no market for the wnba. It literally hasn’t made a profit since its inception.
As a woman who is a sports fan, I've traditionally enjoyed women's sports.....just not women's basketball. That is, until last year with the NCAA women's tournament! I have paid nice money to see my faves in women's track & field and women's tennis though. I also enjoy women's gymnastics and figure skating. I don't understand why the WNBA refuses to lower the rim, especially since the ball is already smaller to accommodate women's smaller hands.
If you look at the crowds at WNBA games, there are mostly ballplayers, who appreciate the skill and fathers with children. Women don’t go to WNBA games.
Every sports league listens to what fans have to say about the quality of their league and then changes based on that. NFL fans wanted to see more touchdown celebrations so the league stopped throwing flags for that stuff. listen to what the people tell you they want.
Exactly. The WNBA needs to stop listening to their players and just start by making the product more entertaining. That doesn't mean they can't be skilled or athletic, it just means that it needs to be scaled properly so that some game play emulates the NBA.
@@Gymantisno, they don't need to emulate the garbage product of today's NBA. Take it back to 90s to early 2010s NBA at least. Hell look to the WNBA in the 90s & go from there. They had better marketing then too, but they do need to make some changes to the game.
@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00not true. the nba overcorrected. But even in their over correction they experienced all time highs in viewership during this offensive boom window. The WNBA is begging for all time highs. They don’t need to change everything. Just one or two things. They don’t need to go overboard like the nba did
No they don't. Fans been complaining about bad calls, refs, ticky tack fouls on QBs, bad tackling, devaluing the running game, over emphasis on passing and offense, etc on the NFL for years.
You’re wrong about one thing, it’s not the women you need to draw in, it’s the children. You build from the bottom up with heroes. Once the children start watching, the parents will follow.
I can say for sure that the WNBA needs some spice for sure! Lowering the rim is the most common thing I’ve been hearing about but having some stars and ladies with influence helping them out would be the start of a potential upstart for them cause you can’t blame the guys for everything especially when the WNBA players lately have been in their ego so to speak
The WNBA lost cred when it became an alphabet league. When it started, it was about basketball with Super Cooper and Tina Thompson. But it went downhill when Swoopes came out gay and left her husband for another woman and the league made it look like it was a good thing. That's when the league started to go down and hasn't looked back since. No one is going to bring their kids to that.
@@nervenllarena4948 how much money do you make playing sports? You pay taxes in any job so let's get that out of the way. They have collective agreement in the wnba where agents get no more than 5% of their contract. Go sit in the corner and face the wall now.
Women go to men’s sports cause it’s an event a lot - they don’t follow like people think. Some do of course. But a lot like to be seen and peacock - that’s what it’s really about when they go to a game. That’s different than watching on tv and following day to day.
They need to drop the rim to 9 feet. It doesn't mess with your shooting as much as the woman want you to think. Every dude that hoops have played on a low rim before.
The Fever attendance will probably double, and road game attendance will also go up. I have never watched a WNBA game, but I will watch Caitlin. She is fun to watch and she actually makes layups. I have seen highlights and you see a lot of missed easy ones
Rob is on point. Women do not watch or care for women's sports; they are more interested in reality and drama shows like The View, Real Housewives, Keeping up with the Kardashians, etc. Women's sports will always suffer in ratings until this changes.
ngl, 6K for an average WNBA game is a much higher average than I would have thought. Rob was talking about pro wrestling but outside the WWE, no one is averaging close to 6K per event live attendance.
The WNBA deserves all the blame. Their product is not entertaining. Lower the rim so more of them can dunk and make the game more exciting. You couldn't pay me to go to a WNBA game. Who wants to go see a layup fest?
Ladies Volleyball(if they let you smoke 420), Football, and MAYBE soccer are the games I'd spend my time watching. W.N.B.A. , baseball, and countless other things never make the list so people shouldn't take it so personal
This guy is exactly right. The only thing he doesn't dress is why is Clark drawing large numbers. It's her skill in long range shooting and passing that children idolize
I'm not exactly feeling bad for anyone making >$100K playing basketball for a living. It's not NBA money but it's not 9-5 behind a desk or whatever. First world problem right here.
I’m 41 and have been a basketball fan my entire life. I have been to exactly one wnba game (Detroit Shock) back in like 2008…and it was boring and dead as hell.

@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00NBA made a record 10 billion and has the highest views on UA-cam, social media, and streaming than all other sports leagues.
Sounds like 1979, NBA was around for 30 plus years and on tape delay.
Check out Bill Burr's set on this topic. Hilarious!
That toxic lesbian energy is gonna kill her ☠️
Na. Just be humble and she'll be fine.
They are hating on her even before being drafted
Candace Parker got turned out
@@AnonymousUser-ss2qr it doesn’t matter nobody’s gonna watch the WNBA anyway
That's why I'm rooting for Angel Reese.
Rob is right the Mexican female soccer league has been around 6-7 years and has more fans then the wnba 😂
You’re wrong about one thing, it’s not the women you need to draw in, it’s the children. You build from the bottom up with heroes. Once the children start watching, the parents will follow.
Yo that he left 2 tickets and came and there was 8 line was out of pocket 😂 😂😂
Rob was perfect on.this. I take back my comment/joke about him saying Golden Girls was his all time favorite sitcom.
Lower the rim to 9.5 feet
I can say for sure that the WNBA needs some spice for sure! Lowering the rim is the most common thing I’ve been hearing about but having some stars and ladies with influence helping them out would be the start of a potential upstart for them cause you can’t blame the guys for everything especially when the WNBA players lately have been in their ego so to speak
They need to stop. She is not going to sell out arenas 😂
Rob is so right!!! The women are there for the fellas on the court!! Women's basketball they ain't checking for that!!
The WNBA lost cred when it became an alphabet league. When it started, it was about basketball with Super Cooper and Tina Thompson. But it went downhill when Swoopes came out gay and left her husband for another woman and the league made it look like it was a good thing. That's when the league started to go down and hasn't looked back since. No one is going to bring their kids to that.
Wish he talked about former WNBA player swoop and how she talked about Clark
$100k for playing basketball is a good salary. I don't know what they complaining about. Do they want to try being a realtor instead?
you do realize that they're not getting all that money they have to pay their agents attornies and taxes LOL
@@nervenllarena4948 how much money do you make playing sports? You pay taxes in any job so let's get that out of the way. They have collective agreement in the wnba where agents get no more than 5% of their contract. Go sit in the corner and face the wall now.
I wish they paid me 100k to play Bball only a few months of the year, and my employer not expecting a profit out of me
@@fernymaldadanado3250 exactly
@@nervenllarena4948 the agent only gets 5% in the wnba. What you didn't know that? Everyone pays taxes. SMH
Women go to men’s sports cause it’s an event a lot - they don’t follow like people think. Some do of course. But a lot like to be seen and peacock - that’s what it’s really about when they go to a game. That’s different than watching on tv and following day to day.
They have been playing for hundreds of fans a night for over a decade.
This is by far the only thing Rob Parker has ever said that I agree with him 100%
They need to drop the rim to 9 feet. It doesn't mess with your shooting as much as the woman want you to think. Every dude that hoops have played on a low rim before.
robs right on.
It’s not the customers job to support the business. It’s the business job to have a product that the customer wants.
I honestly can't believe they get 6k in attendance.
If you gave me courtside tickets, paid for my parking and my meals, I still wouldn’t go to a wnba game.
He spoke the truth!
Rob was actually funny today 😂
"There were EIGHT tickets when I came back out" . . 😂😂😂😂 Rob Parker is the fckn GOAT!!
I figured more people would’ve argued this point after bill bur made his joke about this exacts subject
Have you seen the prices of cookie ingredients?
Bill Burr had a similar and hilarious bit on this
The Fever attendance will probably double, and road game attendance will also go up. I have never watched a WNBA game, but I will watch Caitlin. She is fun to watch and she actually makes layups. I have seen highlights and you see a lot of missed easy ones
Fever look like a top 5 team with Caitlin
Rob is on point. Women do not watch or care for women's sports; they are more interested in reality and drama shows like The View, Real Housewives, Keeping up with the Kardashians, etc. Women's sports will always suffer in ratings until this changes.
Women watched women's tennis when Venus and Serena williams played.
🤣🤣Rob clowning hard
Women failed the WNBA 🤷🏾♂️
When they start dunking on each other I’ll show up 😂
Amazon for years didn't make a profit now look at them.
Caitlin is tired of all the attention. That's why she is going to WNBA. 😂
ngl, 6K for an average WNBA game is a much higher average than I would have thought. Rob was talking about pro wrestling but outside the WWE, no one is averaging close to 6K per event live attendance.
Being Woke and the Alphabet fans don’t help. Here’s a hint for all those WNBA players. Just play the game and 🤫
Can't define woke. Trolll
I don’t know if bill burr brought me here or not 😂
😂😂
Cricket sound part was WILD lol
Rob is 100% right now
The WNBA deserves all the blame. Their product is not entertaining. Lower the rim so more of them can dunk and make the game more exciting. You couldn't pay me to go to a WNBA game. Who wants to go see a layup fest?
your point is moot when the NBA is becoming a bonafide layup fest and three point contest. would you pay to watch that product?
@@russvladimir1281 But they dont miss layup that often in the NBA. WNBA could be more "exciting" if the score was over 100pts as well.
NBA is soft everything a foul now
@russvladimir1281 But people are no longer watching NBA like they used to. It's boring
The tickets in the windshield joke was hilarious!!! Rob is right, it can be a date, and you don't even have to watch the game.
All the hype in the world cant make a lack of athleticism look better.
💯
A lot of haters, most all black women especially swoops is hating on her. Jealous
WNBA will never be must watch Television!!!! Good luck with that!!!!!
Ladies Volleyball(if they let you smoke 420), Football, and MAYBE soccer are the games I'd spend my time watching.
W.N.B.A. , baseball, and countless other things never make the list so people shouldn't take it so personal
Bill Burr called it.
We don’t wanna watch sweaty studs running up and down a court 😂
I have never agreed with Rob more in my life. I actually think this is the first time.
Rob is correct for once
Even the nba ratings are declining so where are these new viewers coming from.
Bill Burr nails this subject in his stand-up.
This guy is exactly right. The only thing he doesn't dress is why is Clark drawing large numbers. It's her skill in long range shooting and passing that children idolize
Is the WNBA ready to treat her as the messiah?
Just curious but who attends the games in Europe or Asia that makes basketball more economically viable, or is it state sponsored🏀🏀🏀
I'm not exactly feeling bad for anyone making >$100K playing basketball for a living. It's not NBA money but it's not 9-5 behind a desk or whatever. First world problem right here.
Damn, stealing bill burrs bit
The WNBA has to get fans in the seats. Players have to get the fans involved. It is on women going to the games.
If they stay out the f politics,just play ball.
Look at Sheryl Swoopes hating on Caitlin. They don’t even appreciate a blessing when they see one smh.
Rob should run the WNBA . Go Woke Go Broke.
He keeping it 💯
I decided next year to finally go to a WNBA game cuz why not? I’ll see Caitlin Clark when she plays Chicago.
I’m 41 and have been a basketball fan my entire life. I have been to exactly one wnba game (Detroit Shock) back in like 2008…and it was boring and dead as hell.
