Yes

There are only two reasons anyone would expect women's sports to compare with men's sports...
1. Stupidity
2. Sexism
I don't believe you're stupid.

quote:

It’s not good basketball.
It’s not average basketball.
It’s BAD basketball.

It's the best women's basketball in the world...by far.

And they double down by exemplifying some of the worst stereotypes imaginable. Just utterly insufferable.

Don't be so easily herded by propaganda. There are bad seeds in every sport. And who doesn't want more money for their job?

I’m sure it is…and it’s still relatively in entertaining and poor quality compared to many other basketball viewing options.

---

So don't watch it. Why are you melting so hard over it?

Imagine thinking that just because something is the best of something that it can’t be bad lol

Every student in a class makes an F except one who made a D. And that one student:

“I was the best!!!!!”

quote:

you are arguing that these women have more skill because they can’t dunk.

---

No, I said it takes more skill and teamwork to work the ball around so that you can be in position to put it in the basket if you can't simply dunk it.

I honestly think poor quality of play could slide into the #2 reason people don’t watch behind their insufferable personalities.

Code for sexist, racist homophobia.

This is a laughable argument. It’s neither stupid or sexist to compare men’s sports to women’s sports from a spectator standpoint because both are forms of entertainment.

Some sports women can compete in a compelling way such as figure skating or gymnastics and can be enjoyed on or with the men’s version.

In the case of women’s basketball the fluidity and grace of the men’s game simply doesn’t exist making it awkward and child like due to various issues generally stemming from a lack of relative strength and fast twitch explosion.

Point granted. Doesn’t make it anything an objective fan would find compelling but it’s a free country and you’re welcome to spend your time as you see fit.

Herded by propaganda! What on earth are you talking about?

Thanks to ESPN and other outlets attempting to force this on their viewer base I’ve had to listen to many of the “stars” of this sport expose themselves in their own words as self absorbed, entitled, politically obnoxious and in some cases openly racist twats for the past 5 years.

It’s bad enough when certain NBA stars say obnoxious things, but you can’t watch the men’s Olympics recently and not respect LeBron or Steph Curry for what they do on the court at least.

The same can’t be said of the average WNBA player.

The only propaganda is trying to force the average viewer to watch something that’s far uglier as a spectator sport than a high level men’s rec game at an SEC school.

It’s a bad product that features obnoxious players.

You just answered your own question.

Ahh, so it's O.K. to act like an arse, just as long as you are entertained. Now I understand the Obama and Trump cults. Thanks for the explanation.

have made it perfectly clear why they don't support the league.

Yes. Everyoke keeps telling you why and you keep ignoring it because you want it to be racist and sexist, which doesn’t add up at all lol

Years ago I would ask why you felt this was the true intent. Now I’m actually glad people like you spend your lives mad at the boogeyman instead of fixing what you see in the mirror.

quote:

It's pretty simple and I don't get how you don't get it. The product is arse. It's a very very ugly style of basketball. I don't watch it for the same reason I wouldn't watch High School basketball if it was on TV, because it's ugly basketball.

---

Just out of curiosity, how much NBA do you watch outside of your team? Same question for others who posted in here.


For me it’s not even really about the quality. Outside of the Pelicans, I watch very little basketball unless Im betting on the game. Used to love college basketball, would watch every Kansas and LSU game and last year I didn’t watch a single college game until March Madness.

You basically took what I said and reworded it…and it’s somehow different?

And there it is.

Sorry, when I think of the douchebaggery of the sport, it includes a girl like Kelsey Plum. When you criticize your own fans in public, you forfeit the desire to be treated equally to the NBA.

Racist? I don’t think so…I have zero issue supporting with my wallet and watching MLB, CFB, CBB, and NBA. I watch NFL, but don’t attend. Those sports are dominated by POCs, Latinos, and foreigners from all nations.

Sexist? I don’t think so…I can watch softball, Olympic sports, and even’s some LSU ladies hoops and be entertained.

Homophobic? I don’t pay close enough attention to the WNBA to care who is a lesbian and who isn’t. If you are tuned into the sexual preference of those women, I would argue it’s you that has the problem.
