I totally agree with your post. I don’t particularly pay attention to the WNBA, but I am a huge NCAA men’s and women’s basketball fan. There truly are a lot of beautiful young women playing college basketball, but most of them don’t wear a lot of makeup while they play, naturally, so they just look like big, sweaty messes the whole time. However, there has been a rise over the last several years of some of the players (mostly black) who wear full makeup, including false eyelashes, during games. They are making an effort to look good/glamorous the whole time. I don’t blame them at all, and I’m guessing that plenty of them carry that habit over to the WNBA. They’re not all lesbians. So many are REALLY tall, though, and are probably self-conscious about looking like big butch lesbians. I’d be wearing makeup and trying to look feminine, too. Of course, there are the lucky ones who look pretty while playing bball, even with minimal or no makeup on.
I understand that the chances of an undrafted free agent making the NBA are fairly low....they’re even difficult for a 2nd round draft choice.
What about the WNBA? I’d guess they’re equally low but I don’t know.
