Women's Basketball Sucks

Women’s basketball is played on a high school level, at best. None of the players can dunk, nobody goes up strong to the hoop, and nobody knows how to shoot. Even though a lot of women’s players can drain threes, none of them have a pretty shot. They all shoot from the chest, which is how kids that get cut from JV teams shoot. There’s a girl in my school going to play basketball at Harvard next year. There’s no way I could take her because I’m a big white oafish stiff , but my gay friend Kevin, who started on JV this year, could beat her one on one. If they were playing to 21, the spread would be Kevin -7, and I’d still take him.

I have no idea why ESPN continues to force us to watch this crap. The night of the women’s NCAA Title game, there were NINE Major League Baseball games, many of which were night games. Are you telling me that they couldn’t have put one of those games on ESPN or ESPN 2 instead of dedicating TWO channels to women’s basketball? Here’s stuff I’d rather watch than women’s basketball:
Arena Football
Professional Rodeo
Drag Racing
Nascar
Figure skating
Paint Drying

That being said, I stand by my opinion that the only sports that should be on ESPN are Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, college hoops, college football, and college baseball. Sports Center has become oversensationalized journalistic crap. Watch out for Fox Sports; if uncle Rupert launches a national sports channel on the above premise and can get rights to air games nationally, watch out, they may present a major challenge to ESPN.
