I know Clark is super popular now but I wonder how long it will last. Or if people will be interested enough to watch wnba

It’s an artificial movement propped up by esg dollars and social engineering, this is no different that the pretend hype we saw behind female soccer players a year or two ago and female tennis before that. They only exist in anyone’s brains because of advertising and promotions, not any actual athletic talent.

What I figure. My main annoyance is getting lectured n by people who don’t even support it.

Female tennis wasn't propped up. The Williams sisters certainly are, but women's tennis was watched with intense focus and laser like dedication. Especially when those Eastern European ladies were playing.

Many women’s tennis players are fine as hell. Unlike the wnba.

Rhonda Rousey was the most hilarious. The sports media were proclaiming her the greatest athlete who ever lived (literally, they said that) and then she had to retire after a handful of fights and is now a mother.

Rogan should never live it down that he thinks she could beat Mayweather in a fight.

You're spot on. Womens' sports in general have been getting promoted so heavily the past few years. I think a large part of it is the traditional sports market is tapped out. Same reason every fast food place is trying to sell breakfast now. It's the same old marketing gimmicks in a new place.
