Total winner reply.

If I have to choose between watching a men's basketball game and a women's basketball game, I'll choose the men's game any time -- and I'm a woman. Or female. Or whatever it is that births children and gets excited by male attention. Men's team sports are always way more dynamic, interesting, and skilled.

a standout legendary athlete (Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Kobe, etc) doesn't need any googling for people to know who he is.

Prettty sure they are now, at least in college. College basketball floors now only have one 3-point line. Don't know about the WNBA vs the NBA - I don't watch either.

I will tell you why I don't watch women's basketball...the stupid errors they commit are so annoying and embarrassing and insulting I have to turn the channel. At time it seems they commit more turnovers then points.

I only watch women's beach volleyball, so that balances it out.

Is he a Biologist? If not, according USSC Justice Ketanja, he is not to judge whether the people he sees playing are male or female.

I suppose it might be considered sexist if a women's sport is as skilled, fast, powerful, and exciting as the men's sport. As it is, they are different products, and I usually only watch sporting events that hold some particular interest anyway.

Only men’s basketball? That is terrible! LOL.

But seriously, the fact that such questions are asked these days, indicate how crazy our society became….

We could start with the network rights to the two respective tournaments and why game times are set the way they are.
