1. The WNBA is essentially a Charity operated by the NBA
On a personal note: I have seen women's college basketball games that were epic. However, the WNBA should really be honest about its existence. It's basically a subsidized showcase for the best college and amateur female players to display their talent professionally and at the expense of the NBA.
*In 2013 ESPN said that their WNBA audience was majority male, as it had been for years. 66% of the viewers were male and almost half were African-Americans. Viewership for the 19 games broadcast for the 2014 regular season was an average of 240,000.
