No. All women's sports are an inferior product. Unless your daughter is playing, there is absolutely no reason to watch and the vast majority DO NOT. That's reality folks.
Is it sexist to only watch men's basketball and not women's basketball?
I have a male coworker, who is a leftist, who has been pushing people the past week and a half or so to watch women's basketball. He has stated that the networks are sexist in how they place the games and the times of the games. I told him that a lot of that has to do with TV viewership, he said that TV viewership was sexist, because some of the women's players are better than the men's players.
The NBA has no rule on gender. A woman could play in the NBA, but none has due to skill and ability. Men's basketball simply has more skill and ability, which makes the games more exciting.
Yes.
Best team out there out is the UCONN women's team, according to one of my friends. He is 81, male, an expert on several sports, including basketball, and he watches them religiously. Only other sports team he is that fanatical about is the Bills.
I am guessing because a lot of men simply want to bang the woman gymnasts. Compared to say womens soccer where the "girls" have square jaws and don't shave their armpits. This applies to figure skating and the most obvious one womens beach volleyball. Even the Olympic committee regulates the bikini bottoms to be tiny and they know why.
The Olympic Committee doesn't regulate any sport's competition attire. Those rules are all set by the individual sport federations.
If we're all being honest with ourselves, women's sports are just an inferior product and a waste of time (with figure skating and perhaps gymnastics being the only exceptions).
Yeah. Google Annetta Lucero, Chiharu Tachibana and Karrissa Wimberly. They take sport to a new level.
We've all grown up watching men's sports. This has been ingrained in us. Yes, it is sexist because no one ever put women's sports in the forefront. If they were promoted as much as men's teams are then maybe more would be excited to watch them. People aren't sexist for watching men's sports when women's sports are barely shown one tv.
Never heard of Sonja Henie? She was the highest paid athlete of her time once she retired from Olympic/World competition. Made more money than ANY professional male athlete of her day. She also single-handedly popularized the sport of figure skating in the US, and she never even competed as an American. She did it through her films and highly successful ice shows.
I'm not a basketball fan as I was never very good at it, but do like to watch women's golf, hockey in the Olympics, and soccer. In some ways I think women's soccer is better than the men's.
LPGA events, and now golf in the Olympics, might not draw as big of a crowd as the men's events, but they do draw a good size audience.
I like these also. The US woman's soccer team one of the best in the world.

I would have more respect for women`s basketball if the ball being used was the same size as the men`s and the line for the 3 point shot was the same distance as the men`s. They aren`t.

But, the NBA is pro China, just like Hollywood, and the leftist elite, that wants to capture the China market at any cost. Re-consider whether watching and supporting NBA games is in our country's best interest.
