This is weird because they posted photos with a ton of people. So I feel like this is before the parade started or something because if they could get thousands of people to their game some would show up to the parade.

I feel like this is another attempt to shit on women's sports.

Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.

There is maybe 200 people in the initial rally? No way those people can fill out a parade lmao this isnt some conspiracy

There are probably more people in Wyoming who can name the entire 1998 Bulls roster than in Chicago who know that they even have a WNBA team.

Definitely costs the tax payers a lot more than $5 for a sports team with the talent of a decent boy's high school team to have a parade.

Yeah, I'm a pretty big sports guy, and I still know little to nothing about WNBA teams and players. I feel like it's poorly covered by media and advertising, watching stuff like Sportscenter it feels like the NHL on ESPN did for so many years, basically 5 minutes of coverage if that per recap show.

That's because generally no one cares about women's sports where the women aren't attractive and/or half naked when playing. There's a reason why the sports that have the most attractive women and the ones that play in the most revealing clothing are also the most popular.

Maybe I'd care more if the closest WNBA team wasn't 150 miles from me. I kinda follow women's college basketball.

Yeah, the Dream, they were owned by former Senator Kelly Loeffler for a while before her views became anathema to the players.

This is , plenty of people showed up to a parade that was scheduled on short notice. I don't see those pictures going around though, just this one stretch of street where things weren't lively.

Just to put some numbers here, the WNBA finals averaged 538k viewers on ESPN. Regular season broadcasts did about 300k

https://bit.ly/2ZaRG9t

This obviously doesn't compare with the big four sports leagues in the US, but it is competitive with MLS. I think it's just lazy to pretend there's no audience for it.

It absolutely is an attempt to. And its ironic that the people that usually make jokes about womens sports suddenly care so much about them when it comes to trans people competing in said womens sports
