Woman's Sports

I enjoyed it.  I appreciated YouTubeTV doing the WNBA/NLCS/NFL tri-box, was good background noise.   Sabrina was absolutely awful.   For being the greatest "winner" in women's basketball history, Breanna Stewart looks panicked at all times.   The Lynx absolutely got robbed on the foul on Stewart that sent it to overtime--they reviewed it and it absolutely was a clean block and they just made up a reason to uphold the call.  

I love when people say shit like this and think they made some huge profound point and totally OWNED the other person.

"The right wing" is not trying to protect women's sports.  The people that you so desperately need to be irredeemable sexist monsters simply want to protect women and girls who play amateur sports. And it has nothing to do with whether or not the WNBA in entertaining.  I don't want to watch the WNBA because it's a shitty brand of a sport I don't even like that much to begin with.  But if my daughter played basketball and there was a girls' league and a boys' league, I would want her to be playing against only girls.  It's about competitive balance and safety, and that's why they have 2 different fucking leagues in the first place.  

Wanting to keep boys out of girls sports and not liking the WNBA are not remotely contradictory beliefs unless you're retarded.

My oldest kid is in his first year of full-contact hockey.  It's 13-14 year olds, and he's like 4'7 and 75 lbs playing against some kids that are literally twice his weight.  My wife loses her damn mind sometimes over fear that he's gonna get hurt; I can't imagine how she'd feel if he were a girl playing against boys at the same age. 


That being said... Girls are allowed to play in this league, and he's played against a few teams that do have some girls.  But there aren't boy and girl divisions; it's a coed sport with some all-girl teams/leagues that they can play in if they choose.  I don't think I'd do it for my daughter unless she was really good and/or really big.  But if the kid and the parent are willing to take the risk of playing against people that on average are bigger/stronger/faster, have at it.  

I don't think it's profound but it does absolutely annoy me that places like Outkick promote Riley Gains as a brave freedom warrior knowing full well that they'd happily shit on her sport given the chance.   I think normal people absolutely can fall into those camps without hypocrisy but trying to drive traffic to your website by playing both sides of the coin is annoying to me.  

Caitlin Clark:

She was wolf's coach last year, but had coached the Fever previously.  By all accounts she's really good.   I am excite.

Didn't know she was partnered up with Salters though.  Would watch.  

OF COURSE Caitlin Clark's team hired a White
