When the WNBA was introduced I thought it would take some time for it to catch on. The WNBA was formed in 1996 and started playing in 1997. It seemed like it would work out great for the NBA something to keep basketball fans busy during the late spring and early summer. It has done none of that. I have talked to very few people who actually receive any games on television or even attend games in their area. It seems no one really cares about the WNBA. I cannot imagine the NBA is making any money on it, but you never know.
With the talent level that is in the WNBA you would think that more people would watch the WNBA or at least care about. Names like Katie Smith, Candice Parker, and Diana Taurasi you would think the game is in good hands. I guess in the United States we are just not ready to embrace the WNBA. I wonder when we will. I will start posting scores from the WNBA as here at Sports Blogging Network as we have not done our part to promote the game. Check out what they have to offer at WNBA.
