Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2961527, member: 7492"] I did appreciate the article and I absolutely did not mean to devolve this into an argument. I am in agreement with him that the WNBA has been given more than enough opportunities to try to make it viable as a true business. To absolute prove that to all, they need to open their books. This past end of season squabble among the more recognizable players is a case in point that the league, the owners and the players are not on the same page in regards to what is viable. While Dolan absolutely deserves huge criticism his way over the Knicks/Rangers, I don't see the same to be said about the Liberty. He gave them plenty of opportunities to make money and make the Garden revenue generating. It wasn't and it's not just him. That's why there are only 12 franchises. Given the shear number of quality players that WCBB produces, all 12 franchises should be stocked with plenty of talent and athletes to present a great product but for any number of reasons, the league struggles to get advertising, viewership and attendance. On the flip side, WCBB attendance is trending up and there are strong pockets of fandom across the country. Thanks for the post, I know many will appreciate- and probably hate my post that I didn't castigate Dolan (on THIS issue). C'est la vie. [/QUOTE]
