Why do women's professional sports continue to exist?  Does anyone care about the WNBA?

Women's basketball is absolutely the most boring thing I can imagine. The WNBA is a joke and should be done away with!!!

well I hate to say this but yrs and yrs ago men did the hard jobs and woman were to stay home cook,clean,and have kids ( not thats right but )\nMen (most) have a block on there shoulder and Its a mans game Hard hitting blood and beer. Oh and not lets forget it gives them time away for there GF or Wives (oops Thats a secret) Im a Guy and I find no problem with girl watching football or any sport but society says differnt most people were raised as pigs (in a sence) and it will take a long time for it to change It took forever for woman to have rights and same goes for sports. HE** in 20 yrs men will think ice not hockey skateing will be a mans sport. Or maybe men found out woman are smarter then men Well science says so.. And Im a guy And now I know someone or everyguy who reads this will report me for abuse and give me a thumbs down. OH NO MY LIFE IS OVER..... Enjoy the game and home your team goes all the way

Actually, I saw Candice Parker dunk twice yesterday in the Tennesee game.  Frankly, I don't understand why the women's game doesn't get more attention.  I guess people value dunks over actual basketball skill these days.

Women do play baseball. One woman got as high as double recently. Women lack the upper body strength to play on the same level as men in baseball. Women strong enough to hit it out of the infield, who have the reflexes to hit major league pitching and are fast enough to play a posisition are extremely rare. That one would go through all the publicity and harrassment is even rarer. So if women do find a niche it'll likely be as under arm pitchers. Some ladies softball pitchers can whip a softball close to 100 mph. Not quite the same as doing it in baseball but close enough that you will likely eventually see a woman pitching for a major leage baseball team.

I am not sexist in any way, so dont think I am. The caliber of mens play compared to women is much higher. In some sports women do step up and get a chance to play in mens leagues, but usually end up giving up on that. In the sports that women played against men, such as hockey, with the tampa bay goaltender, she made the NHL, played one game and got smoked, she never tried to go back. Men have a more competitive nature and the body to back it up. Women are usually not built to be a big football or hockey player.  But some of them do what they can to get to the level they can play with the men. I dont know if they are trying to prove something or what. But the reason men sports are more popular is because more men watch sports than women. And a lot more men play sports then women, men are dominant in sports. Women do not get into sports as much. And there are also a lot of sexist guys out there that feel women should not play sports, which i think is ridiculous.

They aren't making money.  I don't know of any team that turns a profit on their WNBA team.  The NBA team that owns the WNBA supports it and loses money each year.  The owners take the loss in order to 'support' women's hoops.  And the lesbian is correct.  From all I have seen and heard, the games are a major lesbian hangout...so a lot of tix come from that aspect.  But overall, they lose money and lose big.

whoa! It's not just men that like sports! Some of us women do too! If you question that, look at all the female athletes our daughters are admiring. I'm fully expecting to have another Mia Hamm in my household. But besides that........we still love watching Hockey, Football, Basketball, Swimming, Lacrosse, Volleyball. It's the thrill of competition. It's watching the determination of the players to achieve that goal! And most of us enjoy watching this, because we understand the feeling from playing as well. It's about watching the strategies put into place. It's about problem solving on the field. It's NOT just about running with a ball and knocking people down. Study the game! Understand it..........THEN you will see why people (not just men) find sports so interesting!

i have no problem with women playing in MLB, as long as they can compete with the men. i don't want a girl in there just bc she's a girl, just like i don't want a guy in there just bc he's the son of some famous player. as long as they can play the game, let them in.

I don't know if they still have a Professionally Football League for women anymore or not now. It used to be tackle football.  Here is a link that you might like to look at.

I think it depends on the sport.  I personally don't like a female calling my football games.  However, for softball or baseball it makes good sense & I like it.

It has nothing to do w/the weather, or the openness of Europeans. It has to do w/the fact that too many women are completely superficial and believe that looks count for everything in this day and age. I coached girl's soccer for 11 years and I've played the sport for more than 26yrs, and I know what real female soccer players and fans look and act like. The "hootchie mamas" that we see on TV aren't real fans at all. They know next to nothing about "The Beautiful Game", couldn't name more than 3-4 players on any given team, don't know the history of the game, countries, or the tournament, and don't really understand the tactics and mentality behind the game. They're only concerned w/showing off their bodies, competing w/the other women, and getting a little TV coverage so that they can impress their friends. Sports should be left to the REAL sports fans and players, who really deserve to be at the matches.....hootchies and whores should be left at home....in bed where they belong.

womens basketball will never be equal to the mens. the game is played sloppy, shots are missed everytime down the floor. i mean hello they made sportscenter because somebody dunked. women can play but not half as good as the men, i have yet to see a wnba game with atleast half the stands full.

I think that its awesome how the girls are getting to show their stuff! They are earning more respect as the years go one and I hope the league continues to grow.  I follow the WNBA every year and always cheer for Phoenix and Seattle. Both teams have my favorite players : Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi.

I want the Dallas Mavericks to win the trophy in the NBA. For the WNBA I'm gonna have to pick my home team Indiana Fever. And girls basketball doesn't suck. Whoever says that should get hit in the balls(or in the chest if u are a woman)

A mans game? Is that so? I know it is difficult picturing women cheering on a team during the Super Bowl and things but its not totally impossible. Nothing about the game? Are you kidding me? I play football! It might have to do with sexist remarks like this.
