Geno Auriemma worries WNBA has been ‘hijacked,’ warns league ‘nobody’s coming to watch … a protest movement’

UConn’s Geno Auriemma is concerned about the direction that WNBA chatter is headed.

In an interview with CNBC this week ahead of the release of a documentary chronicling his Huskies program, Auriemma said he was worried that the conversation around the WNBA had been “hijacked,” and offered a warning to commissioner Cathy Engelbert and players that “nobody’s watching” the league to “watch another protest movement.”
