“ LGBTQ players in WNBA feel ignored in league’s mainstream marketing push.” From the article: “TV ratings and fan interest skyrocketing. Advertisers and sponsors are also taking notice, but some players who are LGBTQ are feeling ignored.”

What are your thoughts on it? I can understand the frustration of still feeling like you are being passed over. I would also hope though that this is just the start and more attention will go to everyone there. The WNBA has gotten nothing for years, hopefully it will keep coming now.

I totally see their point. The league still attempts to market from the male gaze at times and doesn’t hit the hardcore fans enough. There are stars in this league who fans want to know more about, several of whom are LGBTQ+. Their stories should be told more often.
I agree with this although I have to admit I hadn't ever really thought about it before reading this article but the article brings up alot of really good points.
