WNBA+Finals+Game+4+Phoenix+Mercury+v+Detroit+6_tLBQVEqBtl

I’d like to start off this article by saying I have the utmost respect for women.  I also have a ton of respect for the WNBA.  There’s nothing wrong with having a league, getting sponsors, paying the players, trying to fill up seats, etc etc.  I just don’t understand why people go to actually watch the games.

Let’s face it people.  It’s just not fun.  I literally tried watching two minutes of a game over the weekend and I just couldn’t stomach it.  It’s like watching a middle school boys game.   The missed shots aren’t missed shots.  They are bricks.  There’s no dunking, and it’s just not fun to watch.

Why watch the WNBA when there’s Men’s college hoops and the NBA out there?  As such I’ve decided to come up with five sports that are more entertaining….

Curling

Have you guys seen curling?  It got some acclaim at the Winter Olympics.  It’s almost like shuffleboard but way more controlled and on ice.  I tell ya it’s damned boring but there’s something very soothing about it when you watch that big whatever they call it shoot across the ice and then the guys use those brushes to try and place it near the goal properly.

Darts

I mean how often do you watch a professional darts player?  It’s definitely more interesting than seeing an attempted dunk fail.  Or watching a successful dunk that actually sucks in the grand scheme of slam dunks.   I’d rather watch ten bulls eye’s in a row.  How often do you get to see that?

Skeet Shooting

Real life duck hunt vs.  WNBA?  I don’t even think it’s close.

Fishing

Fishing has got to be one of the worst sports to watch on TV.  It’s embarrassing to even say that it’s a sport but amazingly enough it is.  I mean I guess it’s cool to see big fish fishing but God it’s awful.  However, I’d rather watch a swordfish get reeled in than a crappy assist by Diana Taurasi.

Auto Racing

If you like watching cars go around and around 250 times for 2 hours then God bless.  However, car racing has got to be one of the most boring things to watch out there  However it’s got one thing that the WNBA doesn’t….accidents.   If I can see one car crash in that two hours than it’s better than watching women’s basketball.




EVEN MORE UNATHLETIC STUFF

Well, that just made me laugh, ’cause it’s obvious you have no such thing.

Honestly, I don’t care that you don’t enjoy the W (or that you enjoy so misrepresenting it — I mean, honey, check your facts).

What intrigues me is that you feel the need to diss it. What on earth scares you so about the League? Ah, let me look at the title of this blog… That explains everything.
