    STUPID STUPID WnBA

    Who plans this shit ?

    This is the one day that there is no sports at all for us degenerate losers to bet on. This is the one day that we are forced to resort to the WNBA to get our fix, and they play all the games at 8 AM in the morning.

    WTF its only 1240 PM here in WA State and all the WNBA games are final already ? When did they start these games ? at 630 AM PST ?

    How does that makes sense that the WNBA passes on its one chance to have all the sports fans/gambling addicts.

    Now there is nothing to bet on tonight and I have 143 points.

    Pretty weird, I agree. Their only chance to get attention in primetime and they play most of their games at noon or 1 PM.

    If they were smart they would've scheduled two at 7 and two at 9:30 or something like that.

    Yisman maybe those games were played at noon or 1 pm where you are, but its not even 1pm here yet.

    Those games must have started no later than 9 AM PST

    How does the WNBA even make money?

    nobs, most leagues go primarily by Eastern Daylight Time during the summer, not Pacific Daylight Time.

    It would be like bashing the NFL for starting their games at 10 AM.

    Like it or not, the primary consideration is the Eastern timezone, which is why I said noon and 1 PM. That's when they began the games today.


    Additionally, every game today was either played in UTC -4 (EDT) or UTC -5 (CDT) timezones.

    They don't. They've lost money every season since the league started.

    Well still, the should have had at least 1 game in primetime. I dont get it. Most people dont even think WNBA unless there are no other games. Today was their day and they blew it.

    Subsidized by the NBA.

    The WNBA is Stern's thing and he's always made sure they stayed in business. When Stern is no longer in power, the WNBA may be finished.

    The WNBA could exist but they couldn't pay players nearly as much or have money for many of the other things they do. Right now the amount they pay for salaries is far too high given the lack of interest.

    The WNBA has never been profitable and it's no secret.

    100% agree. Afternoon games may make sense on normal days, but during the All Star break, this is their one chance to showcase the league.

    The WNBA is not run well.
