Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 4223506, member: 6485"] I get the team broke the rule and even if the rule is silly, it still happened. That being said I would love to know what the WNBA spends on marketing and has for the last 25 years. Marketing a niche product won't necessarily increase viewership or attendance. I've heard for years marketing is the problem. It isn't that the product isn't being promoted, just that a small number of people care about it. The WNBA seemingly spends a large amount of money marketing their product but it hasn't caught on with the public and isn't likely to based on a TV spot. The league is probably in a better spot than it was 10 years ago and the big names are household ones but that hasn't translated to bodies in seats or viewership. Those would need to increase for the league to offer better opportunities to their players. [/QUOTE]
