WNBA Lameness -- Photo of the Week 6 Oct 2008

Not to go all sexist on you, but...
I saw this banner hanging from the ceiling at the Verizon Center and had to take a picture. "Attendance Champions"? Really?? I don't think there is a stronger statement about the condition of the WNBA than having an award based on fan attendance.
Reminds me of the tactics they had at BYU to get people to attend women's basketball games. In order to get tickets to the biggest basketball game of the season -- the home BYU-Utah men's game -- you had to attend a women's game. Sad.
I can watch women play sports like soccer, volleyball, tennis, etc. But I think I'd rather repeatedly watch the torture scene from Casino Royale in slow motion than watch a WNBA game.
Women: Commence unrelenting tirades on my lack of sensitivity and my "outdated" thinking.
3 ideas preached:
its not sexist when its the truth...
Sadly, I have to agree with Anne...and as much as my inner capital "F" Feminist would love to really give you a serious verbal beating for this kind of thing...I have to agree that the WNBA in general is pretty lame...and that having an "Attendance Champion" is a pretty telling statement on said lameness. Dang it I hate it when you're right...
nope. not mad. In my opinion you have free reign to berate, abuse and/or disrespect the WNBA at any time.
