I will tell you why I don't watch women's basketball...the stupid errors they commit are so annoying and embarrassing.. At time it seems they commit more turnovers then points.
Yeah, the continuous steals, sloppy turnovers, missed layups & close range jump shots. But truth is, lower levels of basketball can be/are still entertaining.. but I resent how the WNBA is hyped as a high-level pro league. Realistically, it's a virtue-signal subsidized by the NBA.
And it seems the only time I distinctly hear about WNBA (at the proverbial) water cooler is when a player is in some kind of newsworthy personal drama.. the player (Griner) recently arrested in Russia.. and I remember a couple years back when a player smashed her girlfriend's car window & dragged her out (or something)
No. But then I think it is a waste of time to watch any basketball at all on the professional level. Especially after the crap the NBA has pulled over the last few years. You couldn't pay me enough to watch the whiny jerks that make more in a year than most people would make in ten lifetimes... and then they tell us how picked on they are by all us "racists." Screw em.

No, people should watch the sports that they consider to be the most entertaining for them. If that's men's basketball, so be it. I'm not going to watch Bowling, Rugby, Curling, or even Gymnastics because I find them boring, regardless if it's men or women playing. As for women's beach volleyball, yes, I'll watch some, but it's not so much the game, and I suppose that is sexist.
I'm very progressive but I don't watch woman's sports...except for some Olympics stuff
In terms of basketball, men are far more athletic...you rarely ever see a dunk in a woman's game...you see many dunks in a good men's game...it's just far more fun to watch.
How is it that people today have totally lost the understanding of the ists and isms. Sexist, racist. These have nothing to do with personal preferences.

Its true the NBA has to subsidize the WNBA because the smaller attendance at the women game doesn't pay the bills. Also smaller commercial TV ads and smaller market exposure doesn't help.
Women's basketball just doesn't trip the trigger of the average sports fan.
When we don't watch them, we are bad
when we watch them, we are bad
Make up your mind
I haven't a clue what your answer has to do with my question...do you watch to see the women in skimpy swim suit or do you watch the game itself.
Actually I like both.
