I don't know what the Mercury or Ben York are trying to prove with his "Man Up" piece but if they think replaying this standard male shaming tactic will get men to attend or accept the WNBA they are dreaming. It will however succeed in pissing many men off if they happen to stumble upon it.
It might be a better idea for the Mercury to figure out why there aren't enough paying female fans around to support the league instead of trying to shame men into attending something they haven't shown significant interest in during the past fifteen years or so.
I live in Phoenix and played college basketball on scholarship. I also watch a significant amount of WCBB and WNBA ball. I wouldn't call myself a fan of the women's game but I appreciate good ball if and when I see it.
Hopefully this isn't the extent of the Mercury's fan acquisition strategy for the upcoming season. I've been meaning to send an email to Mercury management expressing my disgust with how they sandbagged last season so they could draft Griner. Now I can share my feelings about this piece too and kill two birds with one stone.
Appreciate the link. Had no idea this foolishness was going on.
