This paper deploys the view of feminist cultural studies to discuss the interaction between development of basketball and ideology of (post) feminism. Using strategies of America’s Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and its sponsors as starting examples, followed by the discussion of the Taiwanese situation, this paper concludes that WNBA’s strategies reinforce the advocacy of personal responsibility and self-help as antidotes to gender problems and inequities under late capitalist economic arrangements. WNBA and its advertisers are self-identified as advocates for gender justice, which is also used as the base to construct its league and adverts. However, in seeing for audience as well as consumers, the strategies of WNBA and its advertisers have demonstrated a strong flavor of commodity feminism. In Taiwan, due to the different social context and market response towards women’s basketball, it is argued that the promotion of women’s basketball reelects a series of complex (post) feminist thoughts, but less of commodity feminism.
