And, in other news, blue grass is actually green in color.

I know this is old but I felt like putting my two cents in.
Women's basketball sucks plain and simple. I used to be a fan of it when I was younger but since I'm older...no longer interested.

One of the things I cannot stand about the WNBA is how they ALWAYS compare themselves to the men. Newsflash...it DOESN'T compare. Have you seen a woman try to do the same athletic move a man does? 90% of the time it results in a turnover or it just looks plain sloppy. Just stick to being your own product.

Another thing I cannot stand, is how the WNBA makes the men look like a bunch of sexists. There are a load of females that find the product uninteresting.

As much as some fans like to think that the league is improving, it's not. In there 10 year history the WNBA has lost 5 teams.Everytime they add an extension team, another organization folds.

I'm sorry...just had to get that out of my system.
