Message: [QUOTE="Dogdude, post: 5311031, member: 13168"] Speaking of old players talking about the old days, who cares? It's a new era, with younger stars and much younger fans, due to the style of ball that PB and CC play. There were plenty of superstar-level players in the past, but very few viewers. Is there a bit of a correlation? The NBA certainly found that if you give the stars room to move, you get a lot more viewers. Can the ratings and attendance go south with the WNBA? It certainly could...look what happens with soccer in the U.S.: right after every Olympics, it's the "dawning of a new era" in popularity, only to have it disappear within a year. Right now, PB and CC are the goose that laid the golden egg, give them the room to move and the ratings will continue to grow. Great them up and slow them down, then, meh. [/QUOTE]
