I compared WNBA viewership to NBA viewership overseas following the draft of an international player who previously played on their country's national team. Direct, apples to apples comparison.
Cobie is going to say you are a bot next. That is his default setting when someone else is right.
The following soundly disproves your argument:How is he right, Botman
You mean your N=1 example?
Well over 90% of the WNBA are former NCAA athletes.
The UFC is probably close to 90% international athletes representing their own country.
You're comparing apples to oranges.
That might be the problem i have with some of your posts. They're from another dimension. Not of sight or sound but of mind.

I think you'd better get used to it.Dog-piling isn't going to work, Botman.
Golf was fine prior to Tiger. He just accelerated the earnings potential across the board. Not going to comment about the Dale Jr. portion, but he filled a huge vacuum left by his Dad.
Woods was to golf what Connors and McEnroe were to tennis; made their sports mainstream. Woods is what made me start the game; he played football on a golf course.
Tournaments upped their purses to try and attract Tiger to their tournament. Now that Tiger is retired, I wonder if the purses will stay elevated? LIV has not become a tour the mainstream fans care about. I don't see LIV surging in popularity in the future either. Golf is not exactly a sport followed by the masses. Tiger gave golf a player that non golfers had interest in. I don't see anyone like that on tour now.
She also hasn't played in about 3 weeks with a Back injury. If you are going to deride someone, it would be great to at least know what is currently going on. Your stats are also dated. After her last game, she was shooting 44% from the field and 49% (95-193) within 5 feet.

That's the first time I've ever seen weight included on a woman's player page. No weights included on the Carolina women's team rosters, for example.She also hasn't played in about 3 weeks with a Back injury.

Yeah, WNBA site, while a little unwieldy to use, is pretty detailed. Angel's big problem is the pocket from which she shoots the ball. Slings from her hip. It would have seemed that Mulkey would have coached her out of that. If you look at the BLKA (Blocks Against) stat, 46 of of her 102 misses around the rim was when her shot was getting sent back by an opposing player. She corrects that one thing and she is one of the best post players in the league.

I think stats from the Official WNBA website beats thin air, Outkick, or wherever you are getting your information from. Now don't get me wrong, 49% from within 5 feet is still not good for a big. In comparison, A'ja Wilson shoots 68% from within 5 feet, but that is why A'Ja Wilson is the reigning MVP of the league and Angel is not.
You know, I didn’t know what to make of your assertion at first; I’ve always been a straight shooter raised by straight shooters and never really pondered nonsense like multiple screen names, thought everyone else was pretty much the same. But the ones you have id’ed do seem to have demonstrably similar MO’s; chatty, not really ‘inside the game’ oriented or savvy for lack of a better term, in essence say the same things over and over and over, and get pissy when called out. Weird.
I still don't get the point of all this. They go on about how terrible Angel Reese is. They go on about how bad the WNBA is, but 18 always has their names in his mouth. It's the behavior of a secret fan that doesn't think it's manly enough to admit.
It's actually quite popular to claim to be a WNBA fan, so it's rather going against the grain to claim otherwise. I believe you talk up the WNBA b/c it's what you're conditioned you need to do. I doubt most supposed WNBA fans are fans at all, but are just going along with the dictated narrative.
