    I'm still not sure if this was meant to be a joke, or if people are jokes for responding seriously.

    This requires a trip to the list for sleaving, smith, and anyone else who posts seriously.

    I have no problem with posters taking issue with those who are taking shots at the WNBA. I am not a fan of the WNBA but I am not looking to wreck a fledgling sport. I will espouse the merits of college women's basketball and grew up in Iowa where crazy ass C. Viv coached until she was confirmed batshit nuts.

    In the same vein, can someone kindly explain to me how anyone defending the WNBA could equate the fact that the NHL is on some fucking Outdoor channel while the WNBA is on ESPN as some sort of merit for one sport or demerit for the other? What did any fans of pro hockey to do to deserve Gary Bettman or the NHL owner and player decision to strike? Exactly how does slamming a sport that got neutered by greed elevate your sport?

    For those keeping score at home, I posted clear back when Vox and Homer were on the site that I would use my consumer dollars to support the NFL after the NHL went on strike. Since that debauchery, I have gone to pro football games, strongly support fantasy pro football, and have bought my family substantial gear. You know what I did for the NHL? I have watched about all of five games since the strike ended. I have never gone to another game or put another dime into those bastards. But am I or others responsible for the pathetic state of the NHL or for that matter lumped in with people who took shots at the WNBA because I grew up on minor league hockey and had no role to play in pro hockey self-emulsion? I think not.

    I will make one more prediction. If Upshaw manages to cause a work stoppage, I will destroy one item of my NFL gear each and every week until it is all gone or the strike is over and if they blow up the league, rest assured I will be looking forward to re-evaluating the merits of the WNBA, or for that matter pro basketball.

    Yo Sleaving!

    Mystics/Dream game was aweosme! You girl Beard dropped 25 in the win. McWilliams-Franklin did good too with 19 pts and 9 boards. Lennox for the Dream was the only one keeping the game close, Mystics just couldnt stop her. No biggie though, Mystics won so it was all good :D

    By the way, I got an extra ticket to the Mystics/Sparks game this Sat if you wann roll? My team will blow up and smoke your Mystics. You just cant stop Parker and Leslie! If you decide to go though, you gotta wear your Beard authenic :)

    sleaving, the thing you gotta understand about some of the guys here is that they are not going to accept anything out of the norm in terms of sports. Mens football, Mens basketball (pro or college), Mens hockey, Mens baseball are the only manly sports to watch. Add in women's beach volleyball for the small uniforms, and watching cheerleaders is always allowable.

    I've never been one to watch the WNBA on TV, but then again I don't watch the NBA and only watch college basketball during March Madness. I wouldn't mind watching a game of Pittsburgh's women's football team if I were to have tickets offered to me, but I've never seen a game yet. I do watch the Women's College World Series every May/June on ESPN and ESPN2 - I usually am an Arizona fan, and I refuse to cheer on UCLA, but I'm usually okay rooting for a number of other teams.
    And my reason for watching the WCWS isn't necessarily to see hot chicks play a sport (some are very good looking), but moreso because I was friends with a number of softball players in high school and became a fan of the sport after attending most of my friends' games.

    And knowing some of the guys on this site, I'll get put on "the List" for admitting to watching college softball.

    Keep posting on the WNBA, and any other sports you follow, and maybe we'll see some additional sports talk on here, and maybe even pull in some new members. Or perhaps some members will branch out and become fans of other sports/leagues.

    Screw 'em if they are offended. It is sports related and the girls do show some mad skill.

    I sucks that people are saying the WNBA is a joke and putting it down. I used to be the same way till I actually watched a game and went to one. But these girls bust thier butt and play hard!

    Yo sleaving, it was cool that you met us there for the Sparks/Mytics game! Next time I will buy the brews :lol: The Beard authentic you were sportin was nice! I was on the fence about getting a Parker or Leslie jersey, but I think Im gonna score one fo sho!

    That was a close one I had with those Mytics fans! Thanks for steppin in a cooling things down between us. It seemed they had respect for you waering the Beard jersey :D

    I am just glad my team easily handled your Mystics :D They locked Beard down! She was having a rough night.

    let me clear something up first, smith and sleaving are chicks...right? if that's the case, which it looks like it is, it completely changes the dynamic of this thread, and it's understandable why they're posting wnba stuff.
