To their credit ESPN has worked hard to make the WNBA work as a business venture. Too bad it hasn’t gotten traction with fans because the skill level of the players is incredible
So, ESPN, what is that? You expect a person to watch sports on a network dedicated to watching sports when a person could be out doing a sport? Cancel my subscription. Oh wait, I stream and don’t get ESPN!!!
Used to watch, have two daughters who played in high school and one in college. But I like my sports without politics. Stopped watching the NBA years ago. College only and I am close to only watching high school.
My mother was a big fan of women’s basketball – particularly, the UConn women’s basketball team – probably because she went to the same church as the coach and knew him and his family. Nevertheless, she never missed a televised game that UConn played and was very vocal in her support.
My mother never cussed but sometimes, watching the games, she’d come close. I could tell who was winning or losing without ever having to be in the room. I couldn’t believe that the rabid, 80-something lady in the living room screaming at the television was my mother!
Never watched WNBA; stopped watching NBA nearly 25 years ago; haven’t watched other professional sports since it became more about politics than the game. Haven’t really missed it.
I’m not much into sports, but I’ve long thought that women’s sports was much better (more entertaining) than most men’s, since there usually happens to be skill involved in the former rather than the guys trying to out-muscle each other so often in the latter (I’m mainly thinking of tennis and basketball). I will admit however that I may be a bit prejudiced here since my mother and daughter both taught PE and coached high school girls’ teams (the athleticism gene skipped me and my brother!).

I don’t watch women’s basketball. Don’t watch the men’s either. Not crazy about basketball.

I don’t watch sports. I ain’t got time to watch sports. Too busy planning series pitches.

A reason that I have a phone with a caller ID, if I don’t recognize the name or the number, I don’t answer!

I love the way you just can’t like or not like something these days without being some kind of “ist”
