Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4309887, member: 10709"] It's not just WNBA finals where they saw an increase. To me, it's an indication the marketing and additional TV exposure on mainstream network channels like ESPN is working. And the additional coverage in Canadian markets, which was non-existent before, also helps to expand their reach. As a Canadian, being able to flip on the game instead of using the WNBA app is awesome. It's small steps like this which will help the league overall. Now it's a matter of how well can the WNBA leverage this and build upon it. You're skeptical, fine and that's fair. I see it differently. And with respect to ownership, I think you've overlooked or are short changing some of the owners who are making significant efforts for their respective teams. The Storm ownership group is all women if I remember correctly and this transition was recent. They'll also will have a better stadium to play out if soon. Joseph Tsai bought the Liberty a couple years ago, moved them to Brooklyn to make them more accessible to their fanbase. Ted Leonosis seems very supportive of the Mystics. Mark Davis made a large investment in the Aces and is committed to making his team the best that it is. The marketing team for them has done an impressive job. All I'm trying to point out is that they've made some strides which is much better under the current WNBA management team compared to before. I've noticed a large difference compared to even 5/6 years ago. I hope it continues. [/QUOTE]
