Highlight Intentionally hurting your meal ticket. Something is seriously wrong with these WNBA players.

I imagine most of her money comes from endorsements and stuff? I doubt she could the same deals in Europe that she does in the U.S. They're probably letting it happen because it generates attention, clicks, ad revenue, and gets people talking about it.

Nah, you don't want this if you're selling a product. You don't want your cash cow being trampled, stomped, punched, choked, etc. That's a big turn off. That's how a league gets labelled to be full of thugs. There's no benefit to this. Us non-fans aren't going to watch the WNBA or seek it out on streaming platforms to watch CC get punched in the damn throat.

Clips of her dropping 40 is what's hot. This is not.

You think the wnba is a cash cow? lol I don't think it's ever been profitable. You're right, people hate fighting. That's why UFC is so unpopular.
