I love this as someone who enjoys making fun of women who are more accomplished than I will ever be because of their existence in my manly space.

All this shows that fans were only at the end of the parade route. They should reduce the route to a couple of hundred meters next time lol.

The nba shouldn't have to fund the wnba to look woke. If it's not making money on their own cancel it... invest that money somewhere else.

I thought we moved passed using the term ''woke'' incorrectly, every single chance possible -apparently not.
Why so serious?

The idk what to call it other than insecure anger that some (assuming men) consistently show when it comes to any joy that comes from the WNBA never ceases to disappoint. Like why people like this feel the need to mock the WNBA in 2021 still baffles me. But insecurity shows its ugly face in many ways I suppose.

But anyways congrats 2021 WNBA Champion Sky! It was an enjoyable run to watch, and further accentuated by Candace Parker's return to the Chicagoland area as a girl who grew up in suburban Naperville.

It’s a really great crowd, perhaps the fans could actually start showing up to games?

Insulting women cause they're women is fun for some people. Don't ask me why.

They should just scrap it. If they can make the NBA then ok, if not then oh well.
The WNBA is so boring to watch, I prefer to watch BB in the local park

How is that insecurity just because some people want to mock a financially unsuccessful (and ungrateful) league?
