The Minneapolis area clearly has more options when it comes to professional and college sports.

However, I agree that TCs have more sporting options overall.

and the NBA isn't boring? Also, are you saying a D-III women's team can smoke a WNBA team or are you saying a D-III men's team can smoke a WNBA team? That's what I thought.

I already know about the timberwolves, NHL, etc. Your wording made it sound like you didn't know about Sporting KC. Kansas city is closer to better college sports with mizzou, ku and ksu

The previous comments are examples of socially acceptable chauvinism. The catch-all excuse as to why one thinks the WNBA is a joke was even used. It's a boring game played by inferior athletes - so inferior that a D-III men's team could destroy them.

I love the NBA - are you saying the WNBA is more exciting than the NBA? If so, why does the NBA have about 10 times the fans, even though the league itself pushes the WNBA hard?

A low-level men's college team would kill a WNBA team - it wouldn't even be close. Stronger, taller, faster, more athletic, you name it.

A friend of mine and I in college played against 2 college basketball players (women - he was dating one of them). He had never played organized basketball, though he could jump out a gym and was a good athlete, he had rock hands and couldn't shoot from any distance. I played a little in early high school and some intramurals in college. One gal was the star player on her team, and a couple inches over 6 ft; the other was a forward who was all-conference and a great shooter. We beat them every time we played them, and I mean we held them scoreless most of the games we played that summer. They were so mad! But the musculature of men and women is entirely different, as is the center of gravity. We were much stronger, we were faster (with more quick-twitch muscles), we had better balance and were dominant even though we would have been picked low at the local gym.

I'm sorry, but there just isn't any comparison between the two. You have been brainwashed somehow, and now you're relagated to having to justify watching the "exciting" WNBA instead of the "boring" NBA. Hey, it's your funeral!

And I've never once been called "sexist," probably because I'm clearly not. I just can see the reality where millions of years of evolution gave men more physical size and strength. If you don't believe that, I'm not sure what I can tell you - look at people next time you see them?

Well, of course a low-level men's collegiate team would beat a WNBA team. Good God, a decent male high school team could beat a WNBA squad--largely because they've pretty much grown up, and because they're MALE.

Sports, yeah Minneapolis offers more. KC does have hockey, just not NHL. I'm not a hockey fan, so for me, it's a mute point. I do wish we had an NBA team, but I haven't completely given up hope yet for a team here in KC again.
