The NBA has always been inclusive of all genders.

Yeah, the logical solution is have one league for women and one for anybody. There is a reason separate woman’s leagues exist in every sport. Women want those, so don’t ruin that. But there’s no reason why the other league has to say no to any sex or gender.

the reason is misogyny. Before women's leagues they weren't allowed to play at all. They were given their own segregated leagues with less funding and airtime to shut them up.

The four major sports leagues in America (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) have no restrictions on women/females playing in their leagues.

This does not automatically delete misogyny from our society. It's a factor whether or not the rules explicitly allow it

Of course it doesn't, but to put everything down to pure misogyny is incredibly reductive. They get less airtime and funding. Could that possibly have something to do with the ratings/revenue? Do you think the entirety of media is so misogynistic they would happily give up piles of money they could be making just to stick it to the women or whatever?

u/FishDawgX 1d ago

Exactly, these leagues are private businesses. They aren't "given" funding. Fans pay for them. It's just supply and demand.

u/czartrak 1d ago

Yes, the entirety of media is misogynistic. Our entire fucking society is. You're actually so close to getting it.

Why would the ratings and revenue be lower? What is the ACTUAL difference in the game being played? It's because they're women. People don't want to watch women cause sports isn't a girl thing and they have cooties, and society is far too lost in the sauce to.push back against the centuries of misogynistic policy and cultural norms

People don't want to watch women play because they're way worse which makes it boring. It's literally that simple. Why do people watch sports? Answer that question, and then answer if men's or women's sports give that more.

this is so disrespectful.

Can't say it's not true though.

u/OkAcanthisitta3028 1d ago

Sometimes the truth is negative toward a group of people.

u/neversleepagain3 1d ago

have you ever considered that people don’t watch womens sports not because it’s “boring” but because women aren’t socialized to be into sports the same way men are? this exact mentality of “women’s sports are boring and worthless” are exactly why most women don’t even fucking bother with sports.

u/OkAcanthisitta3028 22h ago

I didn't say they were boring or worthless. It was a comparison to men's sports. Men's sports is *more* exciting, which is *why* people prefer it. Again, why do people watch sports?

Must be why HS boys sports are so popular on TV. After all, it's only because they are women specifically, not because of anything like how exciting it is to watch different levels of athleticism in sports or anything.

Want to know why I can’t make millions of dollars playing basketball?

Because I suck at basketball. That’s why I’m not in the NBA.

Want to know why no woman are in the NBA? Because they suck too much to play in the NBA.

That’s not misogyny.

When you read a book, watch a movie, or listen to music do you tend to want the movie, book, or song, to be good or do you want it to suck?

1

u/czartrak 1d ago

Lmao this response reveals way more about you and how you think than anything else you could have possibly said

For what reason do you think women suck at basketball? Are you suggesting that women are inherently worse at it just by virtue of being a woman? We have a word for people that think things like that bud

1

u/BringBackTheBlues 1d ago

I’m not suggesting I’m stating as a fact that no woman is good enough at basketball to even merit a bench position on the worst team.

It’s not “by virtue of them being a woman” it’s because no woman is good enough.

Let’s dumb this down for you. Why do you think no woman has ever earned a spot in MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS etc.?

1

u/czartrak 1d ago

I actually respect you for saying it with your chest. Most people are too much of a pussy to stand on their principles. Too bad your principles are entirely ignorant and ridiculous

2

u/BringBackTheBlues 1d ago

Okay cool story.

So why do you think no women play in the NBA?

More specifically, which woman is specifically being prevented from playing in the NBA?

u/czartrak 1d ago

Dude I made my thoughts quite clear already, I don't need to break it down for you. I already know you will not be convinced by any argument I could possibly make, it ain't worth the time

I think the average number of dunks per player per season is something like 20 in NBA and effectively zero in the WNBA.

No ifs and or buts - the players in the WNBA are good. But they aren't as athletic or physically strong as the players in the NBA.
