I think a better analogy between WNBA and soccer is that WNBA is where you get the people least likely to play basketball well to play basketball, and soccer is where you get people to use the least effective part of their bodies to control where a ball is sent.

In both cases you generate a frustrating spectacle for the audience where far more failures occur than successes. And failures not like those in baseball where a well trained pitcher outsmarts a well trained batter 2 out of 3 times, but where someone who can mostly just use his feet is prevented from getting a goal by someone who can use his entire body.

This frustration is most likely what leads to soccer hooliganism.

Soccer probably originated with victorious tribes kicking the heads of defeated enemies around the field. I do not know why anyone would think it is a sissy sport.

I'm sure paraplegics and quadroplegics would thank you for that.

I'm not sure women would.
