The most I've watched of any one game was probably 4 or 5 minutes and that was because overtime was interfering with regularly scheduled programming. That was recently on ESPN 2 just before Friday Night Fights.

General, I have a serious question for you! Have you ever even been to a WNBA game?? Well unforunately, i have been to about 25 of them. I only go because I take my niece to the games. They are the most boring games in the world.


I would rather watch and PARTICIPATE in underwater basket-weaving than go to another game if I didnt have to take my niece!

I saw one game where one team didnt score A SINGLE POINT for 7 whole minutes!!!!!! Then they only score 9 points the whloe 20 minute half!!!! ANother problem was that the opposing team only scored 21 points ALL HALF!!!

The ladies cant even beat 95% of NCAA teams in a game.


What is funny are the demographics of the people at the games!! 75% of the crowd are lesbo's of course! 90% of these have less hair on their head than me and more hair on on their lips than me!!!

These girls care about what their doing. It is obvious NBA is laid back until playoffs. These girls give alot each game IMO.

Good sport

WNBA was a slight loss this year for me so I could do without it, but still it's nice to have something to bet on in the summer besides MLB.

And harrington, I agree, or at least I think women should be allowed to play, but not in separate leagues. If they are good enough to get into the pros then let them play against the men, why not? It's just like in the workplace. They expect the same salary and equal opportunities. Fine, give it to them, but use the same principle in the world of sports too. If women truly are equal, then there should be no need for separate leagues.

Finals will be set after tonight.

Should be a very good series whoever gets in between LA & Sacramento playing Detroit from the East.

Not sure why it's not liked. There is so much effort put forth by these girls, unlike most of the men in NBA.

Gambling value-wise, yes. As spectator sport, HELL NO!!!

General, the reason it's not liked by probably 95% of men is because the game is inferior in quality to the men's games, both NCAA and the NBA. Dunking is almost non-existent, layups are routinely missed, turnovers are rampant, and truly good players are rare. Their season runs during the late spring/early summer when a lot of people have a LOT better things to do than watch them play on TV - it's MLB time and also the outdoors beckons.

I've watched some games I had some action on, so it's not like I haven't given it a go, but IMHO this game will do best for female viewers, both women and children. Tennis doesn't affect me this way, but I would argue that it's the simple difference in athleticism and quality of play that lead guys not to watch - plus, we've just spent about 6 months watching the NBA and the colleges, and we need a rest.

p.s. Sorry, I feel the same way about the WNCAA games
