Professional Women's Basketball Strengths And Weaknesses
The only strength that I believe that the Professional Women’s Basketball association has are the price of tickets for each game. The average per ticket is lower than the NBA, according to StubHub. The reason why tickets are lower in the WNBA is because of less amount of advertising compared to the NBA. The objective of having lower prices in the WNBA is to get as many people to the games in order to bring more revenue. Also the numbers of teams in Professional Women’s basketball are slim. There are currently only 12 teams in the WNBA, according to WNBA Official Site (WNBA Official Site). Professional Women’s Basketball has some weaknesses. One of the weaknesses that Professional Women’s Basketball have is the attendance of each game. Teams

    You may just think this is a girl shooting a basketball, but in all actuality it is so much more. This is the first game that the Tulane Women's played in New Orleans after Katrina. The Tulane women's basketball team had not played a basketball in New Orleans for ten months. They beat Central Connecticut 62-50 and it gave them hope. Tulane went on finish 15-12 for the year. The reason why I chose the picture was in was turning point for Tulane women's basketball. They were finally home and they could get to play basketball in front of their supports. These ladies really care about each other and the team unity they had made them a strong team. The Hurricane was a horrible event but it brought Tulane Women's basketball team together because…

    Truer to the game by Randy Horick is a short story, possibly an excerpt from something larger, about how women’s basketball more clearly reflects the essence of the game. He claims that for a multitude of reasons that I will discuss later in this, that women’s collegiate basketball and the WNBA are representative of the true nature of the sport. More shots from behind the 3-point line, less fouls, plays that happen at a speed you can understand, and more behind the scenes stuff is what differentiates men and women’s. He cites pressure to win as his main argument for the cause of the differences in the two. This pressure to win creates an environment of hostility; athletes only play at the collegiate level for a few short years, not earning…

    We are going to talk about the differences about the National Basketball Association and the Woman National Basketball Association. Because right now the popularity on the WNBA is known than the NBA, mainly because of the excitement of the NBA brings to the fans is a lot more entertaining than the WNBA, obviously because in the NBA have more money to pay their players and to have nice venue. An interview on ESPN said that an NBA game draws over double the attendance of a WNBA game, which means that there will be more ticket sales as well as merchandise sales and endorsements. This means that owners of WNBA teams are making much less money than owners of NBA owners, and thus have less to spend on players. Also, WNBA players only play 34 games in the regular season, compared to 82 games in the NBA season. Because they are not playing as much as NBA players, and they’re games are in much less demand, they should not be paid as much.…

    The UCONN women have some of the top attendance in women’s college basketball. Connecticut is known for its support of the team, and girl’s basketball in general, so if there is an issue in ticket prices in Connecticut, a state that has consistently gone to UCONN women’s games, then it must be a problem somewhere else.…

    Exposure is an important piece of the puzzle in pushing for equality, not only in the world of basketball, but the world of sports as a whole. Although, the WNBA is steadily climbing as the Forbes list reported “the league welcomed its current president, Laurel J. Richie, known for her marketing acumen, and introduced Boost Mobile as a marquee marketing partner. In 2012, the draft moved to ESPN’s headquarters. In 2013, the WNBA launched a new brand identity, extended its television partnership with ESPN, the "3 To See" rookies gained mainstream attention, and season 17 ended with record growth.” (Glass) The WNBA may not be on the same financial level or branding level as the NBA currently, but the league is now equipped with franchise owners…

    If you had two teams with the best men and women on each team it would be a great game and people would love it. In fact, if this happened ticket sales would go through the roof and sports would become more popular than they are today. “Sexually-segregated teams perpetuate the belief that female athletes don’t play as well as males”, according to Laura Pappano coauthor of “Playing With the Boys: Why Separate Is Not Equal.” This shows that it doesn’t mean that boys and girls are equal if the boys are playing on boy teams and the girls are playing on girl teams. If professional sports were co-ed it would make for more exciting games.…
