It is safe to say that no one really cares about the WNBA. It's been around for decades and has never really been a sold out event that people pay attention to. They always sort of existed on the back burner in a "give the girls their own league so they don't complain" forgetting that these are women we are talking about and they only know how to complain.

The did experience a lightning strike a few years ago with the college rivalry that went viral on social media. It took 20 years or so to have one viral moment that tricked society into thinking "we should watch that" to be part of the herd. It is like how you see everyone wear the same clothes, drive the same car and buy the same product. They do what they think they are supposed to.

Eventually, the truth surfaces to the top and they realize "Wait a minute, I hate this crap" and they turn off the TV and forget that they were WNBA cheerleaders for 2 seasons.

Unfortunately, the WNBA players didn't realize that it was a flash in the pan, moment of stars aligning for them when the world cared about their sport.

Now they are being trashy, tacky and ungrateful as they wore protest shirts to the NBA Allstar game demanding more money.

We're not here to do a strict analysis of the event or stunt, it doesn't matter really. The fact is that the top players get paid huge endorsement deals, the hottest players get paid huge instagram sponsorship deals, and the WNBA loses over 10 million a year, apparently 40 million last year, because even when people pretend to care about the WNBA, they don't.

So just when you thought the WNBA wasn't annoying enough, they prove us wrong!

The best is that there are people on the internet thinking that hating on the WNBA or their salaries is misogyny, when really, it's because they aren't in the NBA, that W in front of the acronym makes it a less lucrative job, like working as a MD and not a WMD, if you know what we mean.
