Message: [QUOTE="Reypl21, post: 3130180, member: 5169"] I love women's college basketball. I try to watch the WNBA. The public perception is that the league is an afterthought laughing stock. I think the product can be extremely high when you watch certain teams. The amount of reception and respect the WNBA has is awful. I can't imagine a reality where the WNBA can pay the overseas prices. Stewart was definitely the biggest wake up call for the league to act, which is so unfortunate. She has the potential to be the best player ever!!! Period! But this will hamper that. I'm sure the WNBA would love to pay the players enough to rest their bodies, but they can't. There isn't enough fans. There isn't enough people willing to go to games. I have no clue how to lessen the negative perception the league has. I like any Facebook post that has to do with WBB, because that means that the pages are acknowledging WBB. But the comments are just so disparaging. Not enough people are fans to keep the players here. If I were the players, I would play overseas, and rest during the WNBA season. Every year. They make better money and can rest while at home. The players feel an obligation to compete in the WNBA, but it's just not worth it. [/QUOTE]
