Auriemma on WNBA Eligibility Age

[pourcyne]

Until women start supporting the WNBA more that won't be changing any time soon. The media doesn't discuss this but that is the reality.

You're saying that women are at fault that women aren't more popular?

I did not realize that only men support men's sports.

If women want women to make more money than they do currently, then yes, they do not support pro women's sports enough. Many WNBA reg season games are 60%+ empty arenas. The avg attendance at a WNBA game is 6,000.

Hilton seats nearly 15,000 if you are looking for a frame of reference.

14,356. It's the engineer in me.

So do the men.

Refuting that sounds like the argument that slavery was vital to southern agriculture.

Well, first they aren’t mutually exclusive so that’s irrelevant, but it’s clearly not to the same extent as evidenced by the past two years of the WBB game being driven pretty much solely by a single player.

As to your last point you just had to go ad hominem again. Couldn’t help yourself.

Largely, yes. They aren’t as interested in sports as men are, generally speaking, and that’s fine. Women want to watch other stuff. I bet if the WNBA had Bravos ratings, they’d get paid more.

To your second point, yes women choose to support men’s sports. Another irrelevant point. People’s disposable hours are finite, not unlimited and they choose to watch the men’s game in higher numbers.
