Women boxing is about as worthwhile as the WNBA, maybe even less so.
This story really bothers me. I’m a father of three daughters and I would never encourage them to do boxing or MMA. Women really aren’t built for fighting so why are we as a civilization encouraging this barbarity?
Boxing, MMA, and so forth are the stupidest βsportsβ in the world.
Ernest Hemingway asserted that there are only three sports: Motor Racing, Mountaineering, and Bullfighting. The rest, he said are mere “games”. I wonder what he would have thought of modern Boxing and MMA ...
You havenβt watched slapping contests.
Like women's soccer and hockey, the WMBA is getting better.
The players are better. Families bring their children to the games and have a good time. It is clean fun (except some of the players). If you have daughters, they would love the game. The players don't have to be a Larry Bird, although Paige Bueckers is close, to watch and have fun.
But then again, a pissant doesn't have much common sense.
GOOD
The NBA heavily subsidizes the WNBA, otherwise it would not exist.
A good boys high school team would crush any WBNA team, much like a boys soccer team of 15 year olds ran circles around our women’s pro all stars.
On the flip side I like women’s ski events, track and field, swimming, archery, etc. All a matter of taste.
I understand why people like boxing.
As a kid I’d fight anybody at school
that picked on me. Kids all like
to watch me get my ass kicked, sometimes
I kicked butt as I got better at it.
Then I figured it out; We were entertainment!
So I stopped fighting with bullies and
upped the stakes so they no longer
wanted to play, don’t ask how I did that.
I lived in a Barrio in SE Los Angeles.
I’m a white kid.

My nephew, A Marine (now out of the Service) was always getting spotted as an easy takedown because he’s small in stature. Biiig mistake! Tough as nails and always whipped the other guy, no matter how big he was. Only one time, he lost -— a big guy challenged him to a fight. He would have won as usual, but he tripped on a tree root and fell. Of course, being a jerk, instead of helping him up and getting on with the fight, he beat up my nephew while he was still on the ground. That bully , the last I heard, is in prison for some crime he committed.
Similar story. We had a kid in High School that was always picked on as he did not want to fight. He was a big kid and strong but not a fighter. He joined the Marines and when home on leave after being deployed in Vietnam same dudes harassed him again. Very bad mistake. He hurt them bad. After that nobody F—ked with Mason, nobody. He was actually a nice guy.
I love the wnba and Caitlin Clark is better Shooter than most men. I hate dunking. Just because you’re 7 feet tall. Big deal you can dunk. When basketball was first created. It was shooting, and passing that counted.
But I don’t think women should fight or box.
