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!!!
