The WNBA Is a Leftist Propaganda League
Derek Hunter
I don’t like basketball, so keep that in mind as you read this — I am not the target demo for the NBA, let alone the WNBA. That being said, I will watch any sport in the playoffs — games that matter interest me in just about any sport, even if I’m not a fan. The WNBA games I’ve seen, at least in part, were tough to watch. There are a lot of missed shots, bad layups, and bricks from all over the court. It’s not entertaining as a game, but it’s even worse as an event. From the announcers to most of the players, it’s simply a propaganda vehicle for leftist politics.
First off, we have to recognize the reality that there are a lot of players in the league, and very few of them are known to any but the most diehard of fans. Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese (elevated as a foil to Clark), and Sophie Cunningham are names you know because they’re attractive women. Most of the league is not. If that sounds sexist, ask yourself how many women at male professional sports games opine about how “hot” this or that player is, and spare them the indignation; it’s how humans work.
The WNBA also prides itself on being very popular among lesbians, which conforms with my statement above. I don’t care what kind of sex anyone has, but what appeals to lesbians doesn’t appeal to straight women or more men, so their audience is limited.
Clark brought in a larger audience than the league was even capable of understanding, prepared to deal with, or accepting, as evidenced by the fact that the league seems very interested in alienating as much of it as possible. Not sure who decided turning off your new fans was a good idea, but they’re an idiot.
The anti-Clark backlash within the league and the media that cover the WNBA is so clearly based on the fact that she’s white in a majority-black league; it’s almost funny. Instead of laying down the hammer on the racism, the league justified it; brushed it off. When Cunningham, Clark’s teammate, stood up for her, she became a “problem,” too.
