Why Do Women Insist on Playing Sports?...

Good day to readers everywhere. With this being my first official post, i wanted to formally greet everyone who graces us with their presence.

That being said, lets jump right into it... I come home yesterday from a long, hard day's work and grab myself a cold refreshment. Naturally within seconds i turn on the T.V. and quickly turn it to ESPNNEWS and to my surprise i see highlights (if you want to call it that) of a "fight" between the L.A Sparks and Detroit Shock. Who? You ask. Well, the Sparks and Shock are two professional women franchises in the WNBA.

Can we put an end to this already? What are we trying prove? Who in their right mind watches the WNBA? Who watches ANY women's sports? Look, women...i get it, ok? I get that whole "we can do anything that men can do" attitude that you so proudly portray to anyone that will listen but cmon, lets all be real with ourselves.

That "fight" yesterday was the most attention i've ever seen the WNBA get. Straight up. You sure as hell wont see that much attention given to them for their play. Have you ever seen a game? It's a circus spectacle highlighted by turnovers, missed shots, fouls, and just plain awkward basketball. Even during the WNBA Finals, there's a reason they dont show those highlights until after Baseball, Pre-season Football, Pre-season NBA, Golf, Nascar, Track and Field, Badminton, Cricket, so on and so on because NOBODY CARES!

That goes for all sports but im willing to make an exception for Tennis and Golf. Some of those girls can play. But thats it. Diana Taurasi can play. Candice Parker might post me up because she's 8'4". But that is absolutely it. You could literally assemble the best women basketball players in the world and theyre not fucking with my Monday night team. Straight up.

They dont help themselves either. Have you ever seen those WNBA commercials they run trying to promote the league? They have some of the "big names" use the sarcastic approach. Candice Parker has a commercial where she's saying "im sorry, but you couldnt pay me to watch womens basketball" followed by "nothing exciting ever happens" and she finishes by saying "what kind of future does that league have? None that i could see." All the while showing women shooting LAYUPS and shooting the most basic of jumpers, as if that's supposed to prove that the league IS exciting. The nerve of these b...... you see, they figured the product of women's basketball is so good that they could try and use the old reverse psychology route.

Who in god's green earth approved that idea? Jesus, talk about making it easy for the millions of critics and doubters around the world to continue to critisize and doubt the WNBA.

Every guy knows what im talking about...youre at your local park or gym with some friends playing basketball, winning games, feeling good. All of a sudden the next team comes on the court and you see a girl warming up, shooting with that extra small ball, pony tail, sleeves rolled up to her shoulders, cleaning the bottom of her shoes with her palms and you think to yourself..."great."

Now for the duration of that game whoever is guarding her is forced to play at half speed. It's like 9 guys now have to cater around Susie Shoots ALot because she feels she can run with the fellas. Pisses me off. Go away. You're not good. Go away.

In conclusion i have an idea on how to cut the crime in this country by 50%. When someone commits a crime, they should be ordered to watch the Women's NIT Basketball Tournament, Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament, Women's Pre-season WNBA, or a WNBA regular season game. Depending on the severity of the crime, they should be ordered to watch these catastrophies. For example, a carpool violation should watch a WNBA game, maybe a thief should watch the Women's NCAA Tournament, a murderer definitely would get the Women's NIT and so on and so on. I guarantee the next time "Joker"or "Gizmo"decide to ride on someone theyll think twice before they act.

Look, im not a sexist. Women are beautiful, passionate creatures and they bring a lot to the table. Basketball's just not one of them.

Clipper Nation!!!

I believe it was south park's mr. garrison who once said,"i don't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die."
thank you aza for saying it. why the #### does espn show this crap? I would rather see hockey or baseball,college hockey or college baseball instead of womens this that or the other. I don't get it.

Alright, alright, calm down over there. I don't understand why men get so riled up over women wanting to play sports or be athletic. Is it because you machista pendejos would rather these women be at home all day cleaning, folding clothes, and cooking dinner for you? Do you think that is all women are good for? If you do, you're sadly mistaken. I didn't want the feminist in me to come out, but you really crossed the line. Stop crying because they show WNBA clips on ESPN, it's a sport, so it should rightfully be shown on a sports channel. If you don't want to watch the highlights and respect the hard work, dedication, and athleticism that produces highlights like those shown then lift your pudgy, cheetos-stained thumb about a 1/2 inch and turn the channel. It's that easy. If you want to complain about what is shown on Sportscenter, stick to The World Series of Poker or something like that, at least I can somewhat agree with you. I believe sports is a great self-esteem builder and outlet for young girls to be involved in, and if a few of these girls are gifted athletically then more power to them. Let them have their own league where they can experience the competetion, the joy of victory, and the agony of defeat that you guys are always squaking about. You say those are the reasons you love sports so much, so why can't a woman love sports and compete in them as well? Women are not asking to play in the NBA alongside men, they simply want to play basketball. Enough said. And as a sidenote...it is so ironic that the guy who created this blog is ripping the WNBA a new one yet I can guarantee he would be the first one in line to sign his own daughter up for basketball. So I ask you, if your daughter excelled in the sport would you forbid her from playing professionally or not attend the games because they are SOOOO boring and it's just "awkward basketball"? I didn't think so. Have a nice day and I'll see you at home.

Signing your little girl is a cute thought. BUUUT a real, pure, sports fan would would put a little girl up for adoption, and quickly say to his wife,"women get back in that bed room and do it right next time and make me a SON...BY THE WAY I'M HUNERY, MAKE AN OMELETTE OR PANCAKES. I SAID NOW."

I think woman sports are pointless too but it does give woman a chance to taste some glory . I just say its time to get some hot chicks in the league . I mean you don't see ugly chicks working at hooters do you? They pre screen their woman . Why cant the WNBA do that? Make some of these girls actually shave the beards and stashes off before they hit the wood. And some of these girls have weaves that make them look like the preditor out there cut that shit off. Allen Iverson makes these girls look like men out there his hair is always looking good how can a guy have better hair than a woman ? And if you truley want some fans I say you should atleast carry 3 Hot chicks on the team even if they are just bench warmers . The reason guys don't care about the woman sports is because there are no hot chicks. Get hot chicks out there and I might actually tune in.Till then you are all just men that had a sex change to make it to the league.
