Message: [QUOTE="amb3096, post: 4309076, member: 11629"] As has been the case the last few seasons, I will begin watching after the All-Star game. Personally, I find the first half of the season unwatchable. No flow, no continuity, star players finishing overseas commitment, etc. The players act like they barely care about the league because it's clear that overseas is their #1 priority. Then they immediately come to their WNBA team and play lethargically for a few weeks before they get into a groove. Hard no from me on that. I can think of much better use of my summer hours. FTR, I'm a Tennessee fan, not a UConn fan. So yes...I will be rooting for the Chicago Sky later on in the season and will watch Phoenix to see how Diamond does there. Will also follow the Wings for Harrison plus the ND girls, Harris from SC and McCowan. Depending on where Rickea and Horston land, I may follow their teams next season. I just have one hard rule: I will not root for any team that Liz Cambage plays for. I think she's an awful person and the WNBA should show a backbone and tell her she's not welcome in the league with the way that she constantly disparages it. Like, if it's so bad, then stop showing up already. Life will go on in the WNBA without her. Those ratings are just further reason why the players should take a step back and think about what they're asking for themselves. Those are bad for a professional sports league that takes itself as seriously as the WNBA does. To put it in perspective, Pro Bowling championships had twice as many viewers for their championships. That should be every player in the league's #1 priority: growing their fanbase (and I mean fans that turn up and tune in for their games, not hit "like" on their tweets complaining about some imaginary gender pay disparity).
