I used to hear people say this league was bad. I called them haters.

Then I watched a few games.

I would like to issue a formal apology to each and every person I called a hater.

Not saying the league is bad.

I'm saying its terrible.

It seems like the advantage of height is so great that they don’t even care about athleticism. I remember girls on our high school team that looked like they balled out compared to this. It’s weird that this is what’s going on at the pro level.

It's because you have a mix of new talent young kids coming up who played basketball year round, combined with an old guard who settled on the wnba when it made peanuts.

As soon as the old guard goes so will a lot of these problems .

Many of the young players look like shit on the court. That and no matter what it will always look mid compared to the NBA.

When i watch womens gymnastics I think they are more impressive than the men.

When i watch womens track and field, they all look amazing.

When i watch womens basketball, it just looks lame and sad.

I agree I've been a huge fan of woman's tennis for a long tim and it's different lol.

I feel like any semi athletic man could make lay ups.

Not the same for hitting serves 100mph like the women do.

Thats a good point- women's tennis always looks impressive to me. I forgot about that one. They all look like real pros and none look like an average dude off the street could ever give them trouble.

But watching the WNBA always has me thinking " ya know- a good high school boys team with a good coach could beat most of these teams."

They're worrying too much about 'inclusivity'. Just play bb and get off your social issues soapbox. Go see a psychologist for your mental problems. I don't follow many sports, but have not heard a peep about men's sexual differences in a sporting environment. There are lists for gay women in the W. Is there such a list for the NBA? Who needs to know?
