That&#8217;s all we ask for in life. You win some, you lose some, but at least you gave it your best.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">That&#8217;s what we have going on right now as it pertains to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/wnba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">WNBA<\/a>. The marketing department was handed Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and Sophie Cunningham, and asked to sell some sports drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">And it should&#8217;ve been easy. After all, the WNBA is climbing right now. The whole &#8220;pay us what you owe us&#8221; shtick aside, the sport is easily at the top of its game right now. So, this should&#8217;ve been a lay-up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/food-drink\/things-you-didnt-know-about-gatorade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Gatorade<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Except \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sports\/what-does-wnba-owe-angel-reese-after-launching-up-nine-turnovers-blowout-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Angel Reese on a breakaway<\/a> \u2013 they missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Somehow, they missed:<\/p>\n<p>Tough look here for the WNBA, Gatorade<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Oh, nooooooooooo! No!!! Come on, Gatorade! You&#8217;re better than this. Did nobody at Gatorade HQ edit this one before releasing it in the wild? I mean, come on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Slapping &#8220;let her cook&#8221; on a giant banner with a bunch of women behind it? Feels like something someone should&#8217;ve maybe hit the pause button on?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Objectively, this is funny. The joke is obvious. It&#8217;s obviously not what Gatorade intended, but society doesn&#8217;t operate like that. We&#8217;re fickle creatures. We&#8217;re sickos. We like to laugh, which is why we don&#8217;t watch Colbert.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">And it&#8217;s unfortunate for the WNBA girls up there. I&#8217;m serious. They didn&#8217;t ask for that. Again, the league is finally relevant right now. Look at what I&#8217;m blogging about on July 25! The WNBA! That&#8217;s great for the league. They finally have actual stars and actual drama and actual intrigue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now, the product still stinks, but at least we have storylines. And they managed to land a huge Gatorade deal. I&#8217;m more of a Propel guy myself, but whatever. Do they still make Propel? God, those were the days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Anyway, social media obviously pounced on this like the rabid dogs they (we) are, and now everyone is mocking the league. Sad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Oh well. Back to the drawing board, Gatorade!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">PS: We all agree that orange is the best flavor, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Well, Gatorade should&#8217;ve probably seen this coming PublishedJuly 25, 2025 1:08 PM EDT\u2022UpdatedJuly 25, 2025 1:08 PM EDT&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-25433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
