can you expand on this?

On which part?

I guess a recent example of discourse is the comparison of cultural relevancy of both leagues in the U.S. Someone on twitter was using viewers average to say that the NHL is less relevant than the WNBA. But that’s a dumb metric because there are a lot more NHL teams, a lot more games, and much more drastic levels of relevancy between teams, especially when you take into consideration non-traditional hockey markets and Canada. Like a Rangers/Red Wings elimination match could get up to 10 million viewers (highest peak for a modern day WNBA game is a little over 3mill I believe) but a nothingburger match between Jets/Blue Jackets might not even pull 500k in the U.S.

That’s not to say that it’s crazy to say W is more culturally relevant though. Like so many of my friends don’t follow sports but they still know Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, even Paige Bueckers. The guys who follow sports, even if they don’t follow the W, can still name some legends like Diana Taurasi. This past couple of weeks, I’ve seen multiple Olivia Miles highlights crack 1mill+ views on twitter, something I rarely see for NHL. I mean I could literally tell my friends I’m talking to a guy named Connor McDavid and that would mean nothing to them. This is purely anecdotal because I don’t surround myself with conservative white men, who are like the key viewership of the NHL. And hockey and basketball treat stardom very differently, even hockey fans don’t see the sports’ stars as celebrities in the same way basketball stars are because there are different cultures surrounding the two sports.

It’s complicated. But I do like discussing stuff like that when people actually lead with good faith.

one of my least favorite things to witness in the wild is nhl/wnba fans bringing up the other league, especially to shit on it, because both sides rarely have any idea what they are talking about and it kills me as a huge fan of both

BUT in a lot of ways they are great foils to each other and I would love to read actually well researched and in depth pieces by the small group of overlapping ball/puck knowers who can write

curious what seattle fans think of hilary knight now because the initial reaction on twitter on my feed when it happened was basically "she's dead to us" but people seem to be more sympathetic on tumblr
