Former WaPo Hag Claims WNBA Gets More Viewers Than NHL in Big Gotcha, BUT There's Just 1 BIG Problem

Ugh, as a woman, this editor really hates it when other women make women in general look stupid. Like, why do this?

Honestly, that this country can't get together and celebrate a huge win is so depressing ... not everything has to be a damn fight. Unless, of course, you're former WaPo (says a lot, right) journo, Sally Jenkins, who thought her WNBA argument was a big ol' gotcha.

WNBA Viewership in US last season: 960,000+ per game.
NHL Viewership: 440,000 per game.

Narrator: It's not a gotcha.

Hockey gets millions of views in Canada- average viewership is more like 2.7 million. NHL merch also generates and absurd amount of money - like more than the entire W’s value.

Raise your hand if you even forget the WNBA is a thing.

Lmfao - it’s crazy how much people that cover sports hate athletes and sports.

Estimated revenue for the NHL at $6.8 billion and no teams operating at a loss.

Estimated revenue for WNBA at $700 million and the entire league has been subsidized to cover their $50 million annual loss.

Anything else you wanna know?

This is like comparing the MLB to the NFL.

Just ignorance on display.

True, but when you realize where she used to work, it all makes sense in some sad way, ya' know?

Are we to assume that she’s so maddened by sexiest rage that she doesn’t understand what she’s writing…….or is she just a liar?

Ooh, ooh, BOTH!

And what is your point? The value of the entire WNBA is less than the average value of one NHL team.

Sally, do the profit/loss statement for the leagues next please. Then add the context of comparing local ratings to national ratings. Then add attendance comparisons. Then add which league is fully subsidized by a parent organization. You know, journalism stuff https://t.co/DrEhIEekPa
