REFVA, lets get sumthin' straight. It was never my intention to run down or belittle the WNBA. I'm just saying that it's simply a niche sport. It has it's following, but the general popularity of the WNBA simply isn't there. It's no different than Arena Football, the Major Lacrosse League, Major League Soccer..... or the Seattle Mariners. They all have their devoted followers, but none of them seem to have a general following, except locally maybe.Jurassic referee
JR, I don't believe that it's just devoted following, Carol Lawson is a local Virginian, do you know how many girls follow her here in Virginia, Not just the local Sacramento followers. It's growing, I believe that if you ran the WNBA in conjunction with the NBA, the NBA would loose followers, especially the female side and as well get some fathers followers who will share the fun with their daughters. The same follows for Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and many other WNBA players.
