So, Brittany blocked more shots in College than any MAN or woman. I guess that means she is a better shot blocker than an man in college basketball history? The author seems to imply that.

Does the first woman’s picture actually have an Adam’s apple? Or is that some weird sort of muscle in her throat?

I thought domestic violence was a legal/criminal issue.

What do the “media” or “sports” have to do with it?

I wonder how many of the shots she blocked were made by men...

The lying, backstabbing, two-bit, hypocritical, dirty, shameless media (sports and news media) follows an agenda, Mr. Bozell.

Upon further review, you’ll find they care little about ‘women and children’, ‘minorities’, the general welfare, true justice or fairness,...even the environment is of little importance to them.

Their goals are evil and diabolical; and their methods are ruthless.

Another good reason to watch hockey. I have not watched the other sports for a long time. PC has ruined sports along with everything else they touch.

Obviously, the media didn't find this to be a small fraction as newsworthy as NFL star Ray Rice's domestic-violence incident.

Well, if the WNBA were a real sport instead of a form of "protection money" being paid by the NBA to feminist groups to shut up about its own players' behavior toward women, the story might be as newsworthy as Ray Rice's.

But with a fan base comprised of hundreds and hundreds of people, this incident just isn't a big headline maker. :)

Neither sport interests me, to be honest

Considering how rare true lesbian women are in the general population (the incidence is lower than male homosexuality by a factor of maybe 10), it's remarkable how women's pro basketball (WNBA) and - to a lesser extent women's college basketball - is so influenced by lesbian morays.

The sports fans of the country don't seem to be buying into this cultural cesspool. The WNBA could never survive economically if it weren't subsidized by the NBA. One wonders why the NBA ownerships haven't abandoned the WNBA altogether after all these years of financial losses.

Because that would be sexist, or racist, or, or, I know raxist!

Agree. I was thinking ‘she’ should talk to Jenner’s surgeon for an Adams apple shaving if ‘she’ wants to keep pretending ‘she’ is a woman.

I heard a good joke the other day:

The WNBA.

But seriously, both of my sons are recent college grads. They really liked women’s volleyball, and the games at Purdue were very well attended by the students. Nobody went to the women’s basketball games. My sons said they didn’t necessarily go to watch volleyball because the teams were good (even though they were). They went because the players were hot and not lesbos. For the flip side of the same coin, there was no interest whatsoever in women’s basketball, and I don’t think either of my sons went to a single game.

I heard the Chicago (I’m a Chicago Sports fan) Sky made the WNBA finals last season. And I didn’t give even half of a **it, I just looked it up to see if they won or not (they didn’t).

I had ZERO idea the NBA-ette Finals were underway.

Really, who gives a s**t?

Where’s the outrage over the (fe?)male-on-(fe?)male DV? Can you imagine getting the call to go break those two up? I’d refuse it; those (fe?)males scare me. You’re talking “the missing link” right there. Maybe they’re the inspiration for the “Abbies” from “Wayward Pines”.

Bruce “Still has his schmendel” is MUCH more feminine than those two. By far.

I’d be in “fire first, ask second” mode. Damn straight.
