WNBA

"Sadly, 2014 could be the final year for the WNBA league, which has struggled to find a fan base since it launched in 1996. “It’s widely believed that most teams lose money and that the NBA subsidizes those losses. That’s going to be a problem for the teams next year when NBA Commissioner David Stern, who happens to be a big supporter of the WNBA, retires,” says Allen."


Oh no, what is ESPN going to do?????

What I want to know is: who's idea was it to use the term "sadly".

I would laugh at the Phaneuf contract, but the Sabres signed Leino, so no laughing from me.... can't believe he is worth that.

I don't want to come across as sexist either.
I just like mocking Espn because they couldn't pronounce Pacioretty to save themselves. Also I think women are incredible athletes in so many sports but basketball doesn't work as well. It's just women looking, acting and sounding like men.

Not to be sexiest but I think the ways womens games are played dont attact eyeballs. Ive known a bunch of womens lax players who would rather play by the guys rules than womens rules.

12 1/2 tied up between Clarkson and Princess Phaneuf. That trumps Leino

And I think that's it. People watch professional sports to watch the very best compete at what they do. Most of women's sports, as tough as it sounds, is pretty much an inferior product to men's sports. I know, I know, I've heard people argue about how women's basketball for instance, can be more fundamentally sound, but the fact is, the men's games are full of bigger, stronger, faster, and just about everything else more athletic. I have to remember where I read this, because it was a long time ago, but in the months leading up to the 1998 Women's World Cup of Soccer, the US Women's team (which won the gold medal that year) played a boys high school soccer team in California, I believe, and they got trounced. We're talking about boys, still growing up, whose bodies are still developing, getting the better of full-grown adult women. That's an example about how far the gap is. I'm all for women competing, but to sell it as a product will rarely work, simply because, for the most part, they're just not the best at what they do. There are a few exceptions (for instance, the Chinese girl who broke the men's record in the breaststroke in the Olympics in London), but they are few and far between.

I don't care to read Leafs blogs or do any analyzing on capgeek, but how will this signing affect the leafs going forward?

She's always on twitter talking Sabres. I have a few twitter friends that don't post on here anymore. My guess is the bickery, contentious nature these boards have become.

does it affect anything if they jsut stay the same course of being a 4-6 team bounced in the first round?

With $49 million, you could land an acceptable substitute, probably an even better one.
