Why I might start watching the WNBA

July 23, 2008

I've never been a fan of girls playing basketball. I don't know really what it is. Maybe its the lack of emotion or maybe its the lack (insert: call me a pig here) of tighter clothing - like women's tennis - that I can't get in to.

They have baggy clothes and most of them aren't all that attractive.

I do however like to watch a winner. I like watching Tennessee and Connecticut square off against each other. Candace Parker, now in the WNBA and involved in the above brawl, is a great player.

I suggested to my friends she might be one of a few who could hold her own off the bench in the NBA -- with the big boys. She can dunk, so she has a little bit of explosive capability, and she knows the game.

But back to why I might watch. The emotion of the game captivates me. Watching brawls of any type, baseball, basketball, football, captures the emotions on the field and inside of me to watch more enthusiastically.

You'll hear that Candace Parker is a target on the court with her L.A. franchise. If it stays that way, the WNBA might have a new fan.
