WNBA

This post may come off as extremely sexist, and it is. Just a warning.

This is a great time of year because the MLB Playoffs are starting, NBA is having it's final tune ups, NHL just started, CFB every Saturday, and NFL every Sunday. In one month, it is the one time every year that all these sports will be happening at the same time. And oh yeah, the WNBA Finals are going on as well. How could I forget that?!

God told a joke once.... and it was women's basketball.

If anybody reading this post can name the 2 teams that are playing in the WNBA Finals right now, you win a prize. However, I highly doubt anybody can because, frankly, nobody cares. The WNBA is easily the biggest joke of a sport. I think even the players know it's a joke, however most of them were born far too manly for them to do anything else. It's the only sport that the best players in it routinely have to take meternity leaves during the prime of their careers. Chamique Holdsclaw, one of few WNBA players I have heard of, had to leave for 2 years to bear children. She came back and was never the same. I guess pushing out a child really takes away that first step.

It's the only sport that highlight reels consist of crossovers or layups. I swear, I watched a game once and they were in shock when one of the women crossed another over and made a layup. That happens in the NBA too, it's called a routine play... and happens almost every play.

Same goes for the dunk. I was actually in the gym at my high school, when Candace Parker became the first women to ever dunk the basketball. Yes, I was there... but only because my friends and I wanted a good laugh. And that dunk... it wasn't even a dunk. It was more of a layup and then she pulled the rim down.

It's the only sport that 90% of the athletes in it are lesbians. People will say that this is not true, but cmon... we all know it is.

Some people might argue that women's basketball is more fundamentally sound... meaning they can shoot, pass, and play defense better. You know what I say to that? BORING! If I had to watch an entire of league of Tim Duncan aka "the big fundamental" then I'd shoot myself.

I know it might not be fair to compare men to women in sports because that's like comparing apples to oranges, but I'd really like to see how a male would perform in the WNBA. I've seen Juwanna Mann, I know it would be no competition.

Another personal story... in middle school, I watched a women's basketball game between Westfield and Huntley with the final score being 52-0. No, that's not a typo, it was shutout. IN BASKETBALL.

The women's game that consists of painted nails, done up hair, and fundamentally sound basketball just doesn't appeal to me... sorry if I've offended anybody.
