It only survives by being subsidized by the NBA. In other words, there's no actual demand it's just a big charity case.

Have you ever been to a WNBA game? Please share your experience.

Discuss.

1) I have no idea

2) No, no, and no. I'd rather stick pins under my fingernails.

never been to a basketball game other than a gator mens game. and I'm probably going to get some **** for the following sentence.

speaking as the father of two girls, one of which is now gaining interests (lion king, the girl with long hair, driving her little electric car around), if the sport can get young kids (girls) interested in athletics (no matter how un-athletic and uninteresting the players are), let the NBA keep losing money on it. its not like you're their target audience ox.

Yeah, but it appears NOBODY watches it, even young girls.

I have two very young girls as well. I'd rather take them to women's college basketball games.

I don't know why there isn't a professional softball league. Atleast a major one that gets airtime. That's the most entertaining and impressive womens sport to watch imo.

I'd just like to ban all women sports and get them more involved in family sciences; something that might benefit them later in life.

There is, but it's only 6 teams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pro_Fastpitch

I don't see this ever being a revenue generator, but you're correct women's softball is really entertaining...at least college.
