If numbers say otherwise than many sports are boring.
Yes. That’s not controversial.
I think most of us would admit that watching people run in circles for half an hour is pretty boring for all but the most ardent track fan.

By any current metric/criteria in American society right now, this is a 100% racist comment. Unless this comment was made in the midst of a comedy act then I would expect Sue Bird to have to answer for this comment.

not true at all. every team in the WNBA mostly fills the capacity of their home arenas. the Mystics sold out every game at their new facility. and only two teams averaged less than 70% capacity. so you might want to check the stats before making declarations.
She doesn't look like Larry at all
Simple solution - play shirts and skins like when we were kids

This is because Mystics moved to a tiny arena with 4,200 capacity. Atlanta plays in an even smaller arena, and three other teams play in arenas that hold fewer than 10,000 people. That's probably better for both players and fans than playing in a half-empty NBA arena.

I didn't think fans were going to be allowed to attend this year. The Mystics sold out every game in their new facility? For 2019? Their new facility only holds 4,500? What kind of facility is that? One team only averaged 2,200 in attendance for last year.

I can't really sympathize with anyone of either sex who complains about not getting paid enough. You are playing a game. Sure it's true that a select few athletes make really good money but they are the exception rather than the norm. More power to you if you can make money on your hobby but you aren't entitled to it.
As opposed to men in suits on Wall Street who push pencils, shuffle paper and click on keyboards and get paid handsomely for doing it. They're providing a real useful service to the society! Heck lets pay them even more $$ now that we're in a global pandemic.
https://www.corpgov.net/2020/06/ceo-compensation-was-a-joke-before-covid-19/I can't watch the WNBA, knowing a decent high school boys team is at a higher level.
Not that it should matter, but Sue Bird is extremely cute.

I was responding to the statement that the WNBA arenas were empty. The opposite is true. The arenas are mostly full. Changing the topic to something else doesnt make that not true. WNBA teams meet their capacity. Same with NWSL teams. Neither are "used to empty seats". And both leagues are two of the few sports leagues that actually increased their ratings from last year to this year.
Never heard of her. She is nothing but an entertainer of some sort. She will never build, invent or contribute anything substantial or meaningful to the world. Her opinion is unimportant to me.
She allows sexual preference to define her self and feels that proclaiming that in public is somehow important. More than 90% of the population doesn’t shout about their sexual needs. Most people find it prudent to save that for the bedroom.
What an insufferably stupid thing to say. Race has nothing to do with this.
I'd expect nothing less from someone dating Megan Rapinoe.
We live in a country where if you're not actually a victim, you still get to manufacture your own sense of victimhood.

She contributes more of substance to the world that people who work in finance.

The numbers say otherwise, but I’ve no dog in the fight. And I guess I could be wrong, as I only like to watch college bball these days.
Damn I’m the opposite. Sadly can barely watch college basketball and only watch the NBA.
The college game fell off a cliff.
I've been the biggest Lebron stan since he wasn't drafted. According to this scissoring moron, I'd like him even more if he were white.
