The WNBA is Worthless

Remember in May when the WWE and the Denver Nuggets playoff game was double booked for the Pepsi Arena? The WWE made this huge deal about Denver owner Stan Kroenke didn't have enough faith in his own team and didn't schedule the game in advance.

The Nuggets eventually won this fight and played their scheduled game while the WWE had to retreat to Los Angeles to host Monday Night Raw. Well another event has been double booked.

The WNBA team Atlanta Dream have an upcoming playoff series against the Detroit Shock. Only one problem though, the Phillips Arena has "Sesame Street Live" already booked for the Phillips Arena. And the WNBA team didn't win this battle. Via AJC:

The Atlanta Dream will be forced out of their homearena for the first round of the WNBA playoffs because of "Sesame Street".

The Dream is set to play their first home playoff game Friday night against Detroit at Philips Arena. But "Sesame Street Live" already had booked shows for next weekend at the downtown arena, so the Dream will play at Gwinnett Arena, about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta.

If a decisive third game is needed, it also would be held at the Gwinnett Arena on Sunday. The series opens Wednesday at Detroit.

The WNBA is completely worthless. They have no leverage to force out "Sesame Street" out of their building to play a playoff series. Then again who is watching a WNBA game? I know I wouldn't. In fact I'm sure the majority of the people in this country would rather watch "Sesame Street" then the WNBA.

Another WNBA franchise foled, the WNBA next?

Well the disaster known as the WNBA just had another team fold. This time it was the four-time champions Houston Comets.

The Comets were forced to fold because nobody was willing to buy the team. This marks the fifth time a WNBA team has folded and two others have moved since the league was founded in 1997.

I know this has been said multiple times, but I am going to continue the argument. The whole WNBA needs to fold up.

The league is losing millions of dollars and continue to have a shrinking fan base. The only reason this league exists is because of ESPN and David Stern. And even if ESPN didn't own the television coverage the league wouldn't exist.

Also the without the NBA, the WNBA wouldn't exist. The NBA subsidies the league for about $12 million a year. The NBA needs to stop piping in money to a league that doe nothing in return.

This league is dying a slow death and with the recent economic hard times, my bet is the WNBA will be around for one more year and then fold. NBA owners will not want to subsidise this league any longer and will force Stern to stop giving money to the WNBA. And without that cash, the WNBA couldn't exist.
