    This is a great response. If you want to support them, great! Donate, volunteer, watch their games, whatever. For the rest of us, it’s an entertainment product. I don’t watch WNBA because I don’t watch NBA, or any sports. But if you like basketball, yet draw the line at the players’ genitals, that’s weird.

      I would think that the kind of people who watch NBA, would want to watch the WNBA.

      It’s the same concepts, but with women. I would think the mostly straight/male sports audience would want to watch their favorite sport where the players are also the gender they like to stare at.

      Yet, here we are.

        The point of WNBA is not to look pretty. They are there because they are good.

        If straight men want to look at women there’s plenty of environments where the point is that the women are pretty.
