Two biggest hurdles are:
1.. Most women don't play or like basketball.
2.. Most men aren't currently attracted to women's basketball or biologically attracted to most of the women players.
So, how does one overcome these hurdles?
a.. Definitely not by how the WNBA has been run.
b.. WNBA executives and employees must be more available and open to conversation, questions and interactions.
c.. WNBA Drafts should be open to the public or at least fans.
d.. To get women to come to the games, one must encourage interest of the children in women's basketball.
e.. To get men, women and children more attracted to women's basketball rid the mostly fake photos and images of the players as being bad asses with mean faces and mean spirits.
f.. Recruit or have the "so called" women's advocates with popularity, fame and money step forward, i.e., Oprah, Hillary, Beyonce, younger Hollywood celebrities and pop stars etc. Where are they?
e.. The players need to step up and get more involved in helping to promote the game and their teams. It's not just the owners or WNBA executives responsibility to grow and nurture a struggling business. It takes hard work and time by everyone including the fans.
f.. Create a more family atmosphere, i.e., have some of the willing players interact and converse with their children publicly and in the media so there becomes an attraction to the game, players and children.
g.. The players need to be more open into their lives. To gain an attraction to players one has to get to know them or learn things about them.
h.. Ensure that all ticket reps and greeters are educated and trained in customer service and are helpful and friendly.
i.. Clean up the players. Most women don't want to be exposed or have their children exposed to blue hair, tons of tattoos, nose rings, gangster looks etc. Model after the Connecticut program and players.
j.. Clean up the language on the floor by the players and coaches.
k.. Try to get the NBA more involved financially and promotionally. With all the money taken in by the NBA, they can easily step in to make the game more attractive and financially better.
l.. The WNBA definitely needs to provide more information, timely information and continued information during the women's basketball season and all year.
m.. The WNBA definitely needs to promote their players during the off season to inform and educate the fans as to the players off-season ventures and accomplishments.
l. Etc., Etc., Etc... |
Clean up the players? Most women don’t want to be exposed to ...blah blah blah?!
Perhaps this is true where you live. In Minnesota there are plenty of fans with more tattoos than the players, fans with unconventional hair colors, and so on. And I have never, ever heard anyone gripe about how players look.
This all reminds me of “A League of Their Own” in which the players were sent to charm school and had to hide their actual lives to try to attract fans. It didn’t work then (the league folded) and it won’t work now.
The WNBA has issues but virtually NONE of them have to do with player appearance or behavior.

The AAGPBL folded after the 1954 season, mostly because they couldn't attract enough players.

| If you have a perpetual motion or no-position offense, and need a still-developing and mobile 5-4-(and maybe) 3, HERE are video highlights of your candidate. |

Looks an awful lot like what Draftsite has (sans misspelling of Morgan William)
