Brittney Griner made her return to the WNBA on Friday night, but her coach believes the fans in Los Angeles should have turned out in greater numbers to support her.
[Snip]
“Come on now, L.A.,” Nygaard said. “We didn’t sell out the arena for BG? Like, I expected more, to be honest. It was great, it was loud. But how was it not a sellout? How was it not a sellout

Insult your fan base. Fantastic idea. Coach Nygaard must have gone to the Bud Light school of marketing.

Maybe because both Griner and the WNBA are jokes that no one cares to pay for or watch on TV? Without subsides from the NBA, the sport would collapse like a cheap suit.

Ummm....I'm just spitballin' here but when a WNBA team goes head to head against a hometown NBA playoff team, several NCAA college teams, and hundreds more high school and junior high teams everyone has all the basketball they can take. Although, Joe Biden did express interest in attending. However, the WNBA turned him down because they didn't want him dribbling on the court.

For cripes sake, the only people who go to WNBA games are lesbians, family and friends. The interest is just not there.

Gee, Coach, because it's the WNBA!!! As far as quality of basketball played, they are right behind the NBA, men's college hoops, and boy's high school basketball.
And, even as a woman, I have no desire to ever see a WNBA game in person or on TV. Add to that that this is a woman too egotistical and stupid to not break the drug laws of another country, plus she spent a lot of the last few years hating on this country, a game with her in it would rank at the bottom of WNBA games I would choose if I had to go to a WNBA game!!!
I am legion Coach!!!

You wanna throw her a parade and party - you go right ahead. But you have NO grounds to call me out if I don't care to attend. And for your pious uppidy call-out - I hope all the rest of your games tank as well. Sanctimonious dirt bag.

If the women of the WNBA play for the love of the game then no one’s stopping them. If they’re playing to get rich they will fail because their game is poor. The return of an obnoxious dyke who hates her country and is taken prisoner by a sworn enemy of her countrymen is a poor reason to watch any WNBA game.

To the best of my understanding, men watch women's sports to see attractive women do athletic things. Perhaps this is not true for every man, but I do not find Brittney Griner attractive. I suspect the vast majority of men share my opinion in that regard.

Not interested in watching a black lesbian, with a deep voice, who hates America, run up and down a basketball court. Not actually interested in watching any woman run up and down a basketball court. Nothing personal just don't care.

Do these woke people really think most people are as woke as they are? Being shamed for not being woke is wearing off, thanks to the Bud Light response, and all trans influencers are suddenly having trouble getting work for fear of consumer boycotts.

What does she expect. A criminal in a foreign country who expresses her disdain for her country which then gets her release for a spy, comes home and starts back at a lucrative job and the US citizens are supposed to kiss her butt? This coach is dumber than a box of rocks.

No sales. Because what #7 wrote. Amen and amen. However, if it were raining outside and the seats were free, you could have been a shelter for pedestrian. You might have to explain to Los Angelinos was a pedestrian is.

Americans don’t like to see DRUG SMUGGLERS (criminals) getting special treatment … if much of the audience were drug smugglers you’d get your sellout, pal.

Have you ever watched any women's pro basketball ?
I have tried but find it uninteresting. Re: Griner, the
President traded a terrorist for a person who was not
a patriot and he left more important prisoners behind.
Of course, politics had nothing to do with it , nor
pandering to the Black vote. Enough said.

How can you not want to watch a deep-voiced, hairy-chested fraud outplay a bunch of girls in a basketball game? Some people just have no appreciation for sports.

While watching sportscenter waiting for a hockey playoff game they spent a lot of time on her(?) return to the game. Some chick on the broadcast said there were concerns about her missing a year due to her wrongful imprisonment in Russia. Guess laws do not apply to tall lesbians who can dribble a ball.

Well, there have been a couple of "sell outs" in the WNBA. Besides Ms. Griner, of course.
From what I can find, at least one of the Las Vegas Aces championship game finals last year sold out (10,000 seat arena) and a preseason game in Canada between Chicago and Minnesota drew 19,000 in Toronto last year. Average attendance was somewhere near 5,600. The NBA averages about 18,000, with 791 sellouts and 97% capacity.
I do remember when the San Antonio Stars (now LV Aces) used to play. Upper deck seats that were open for Spurs games were covered with tarps and only lower deck seating was used, which significantly reduced seating capacity by about 40%,
