When it comes to the public’s perception of female basketball players versus their soccer counterparts, Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird believes she knows why support sways one way over the other.

“To be blunt it’s the demographic of who’s playing. Women’s soccer players generally are cute little white girls while WNBA players, we’re all shapes and sizes: a lot of Black, gay, tall women. There’s maybe an intimidation factor and people are quick to judge it and put it down,” Bird told CNN in an interview Sunday.

Now "cute little white girls" are the object of derision from lefties.

I prefer softball chicks to be honest with you.

I love topless curling the cold air oh nevermind

There’s an element of truth to that.

They do have the better-looking girls, but there’s a lot of lesbianism there too.

May the female (or whatever they are) basketball season go the way of the NFL and NBA.

Apparently she’s unfamiliar with the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. They’re pretty obnoxious.

“cute little white girls” is how I would interpret a description of pre-teens. But she is comparing womens’ soccer to womens’ basketball. The term to me is degrading.

With the plunging ratings for professional sports, no one will be able to afford funding the WNBA vanity league.

Isn't she dating Megan Rapinoe?

I was a high school wrestler in Indiana--the origin of the moniker of "Hoosier Hysteria" to refer to the sport of basketball. Making fun of basketball and basketball players is part of my personal psyche.

But now that the NBA is possibly the most "woke" professional sports league, bashing "fishball" is now mandatory. I have to suspect that the WNBA is even more "woke."

For a while American female soccer players were among the best in the world becuz the rest of the world that has been playing soccer for centuries is more sexist than us and didnt effectively train and support their womens' teams.

America fell in love with our women soccer players becuz they were the best in the world. But now that every other country has caught up I predict their popularity will wane.

On the other hand womens' bball has always been compared to mens bball and is a boring slow trainwreck in comparison.

Not in terms of looks, although I think that is true as well, fastpitch softball is a far better watch than women’s soccer and women’s basketball. Great sport for television.

“There’s maybe an intimidation factor”

It’s not an “intimidation factor.” It’s an “ewww” factor.

female mud wrestling tops my list.

[ConservativeStatement]

Beach volleyball but only to support the sponsors. :-)

[MinorityRepublican]

Better looking chicks who likes to “experiment” in softball.
