Lesbian Basketball, Season 9 vs. the Indy Chick June 02, 2005 By Debbie Schlussel

What’s the difference between the WNBA and Danica Patrick?

For one thing, she looks like a woman, and they don’t.

Then there’s Title IX—affirmative action for useless women’s sports no-one cares about, like water polo and crew (a/k/a “You Gotta Regatta Lesbiatta”).

WNBA players had Title IX to succeed, but are in season nine of extreme failure. Danica Patrick—the rookiette race-car driver who came in forth at Sunday’s Indy 500—didn’t have Title IX. They don’t have it in racing. The IRL only has that amazing non-governmental program, called, “The Free Market.” And unlike the WNBA, Patrick competes against the men on their own turf. And succeeding.

That’s the lesson of the last week in sports: Feminism is phony. Sports are showbiz. Good-looking women get endorsements. Women who look and act like men don’t. Women who succeed against men on their own turf get respect. Women who constantly whine about equality—yet need their own, separate, unequal league to succeed—don’t get respect.

Take a look at the raven-haired, petite Patrick with her long tresses. Then, look at the

7’2” Margo Dydek of Connecticut’s WNBA team—if you dare. Which one would guys rather date? Which one would most young girls rather be like when they grow up?

Hint: They aren’t making a scale version of Dydek Barbie anytime soon. Dyslexic young girls might unscramble the letters of her surname and get the right idea of what the WNBA is really about.

That’s the image from which the WNBA is desperately trying to get away. But it’s stuck with it like white on rice (apologies to low-carbers).

When the “season” started over a week ago, the “league’s” website featured a story about WNBA players’ prom memories. But

I'll never understand why lesbians, allegedly liking women, dress, style, act, and pick companions that look like men.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I remember in college thinking that I felt kind of sorry for the girls teams because, hey, nobody cared. Me included. I have zero interest in watching beefy looking women play sports. Who does?

[hosepipe]

Q; Whats even more irrelevant than womens basketball.?.
A: Richard Simmons in a chicken suit.?..

No lesbian basketball..

[Cinnamon Girl]

By the way, Conway & Steckler, a radio show here in LA, once called another city like Detroit or something and said they needed to order a large block of tickets for the opening game of their WNBA team (whatever it is). They started off by saying they needed a couple hundred seats together and the person on the phone said "you got it." Then they kept upping it until it was like 10,000 seats together and the person said, "you got it, taken care of." For the opening game of the season.

[Uncle Fud]

The WNBA players are inferior male Pro, college, and yes, HS boys players.

Couldn't disagree more, there is more real team play in any WNBA or women's college game than in a whole season of the 1-on-1 dunkfest that the NBA has become.

[pompelmous]

Margo Dydek is cute. Lighten up Debbie.

[HitmanLV]

I don't think she is notably goodlooking, sorry. If she was a woman from my past, she would rank dead last in the looks department.

[Mustng959]

Though not WNBA yet, Sidney Spencer (University of Tennessee Lady Vols) at 6'3" is one of my favorite round ball players.

....you must forward this to Bob and Tom at Bob&Tom.com

[Cool Chick]

How do you post photos on here, like that one? I tried to post that one and the second Sean Hannity one, and neither would paste onto my paste. Any tips?

I came across lesbians before I ever met a gay dude. There was my landlady's daughter Mary. She was older than my mother, but we all thought she was just a career girl. Hey, I came from an Irish neighborhood in the 60's and 70's...loads of bachelors and spinsters. Well, Mary hooked up with this bull dyke (I forget her first name 'cause I couldn't stand her) who used to be a nun. This woman was a witch with a capital B. Mary had a nephew who was my age (we were 10 or 11 at the time) Diesel girl always gave my friend Joe hell. Neither Mary nor Diesel played hoops....but they didn't leave me with a favorable impression of lesbians. Maybe if they had taken up hoops they would have left my friend alone.

I'll FReepmail you with the code.

[jjmcgo]

I'll bet 90 percent of the players in the WNBA have more character than the person who wrote this tripe or the one who posted it.
Why tear down dedicated, goal-oriented people? Most of those young women used their athletic ability to get scholarships that helped them graduate college.
My hat's off to those players.

[BadAndy]

"Couldn't disagree more, there is more real team play in any WNBA or women's college game than in a whole season of the 1-on-1 dunkfest that the NBA has become."

If you say so, but do you think that there are any players in the WNBA who could realistically make any NBA team? Do you think that an WNBA allstar team would have any chance against even a mediocre NBA team? Perhaps the WNBA style of play is more to your liking, but from a competitive (ie winning) standpoint they are inferior.

[Uncle Fud]

IMO, what's played in the NBA isn't really "basketball" anymore.

[goldstategop]

Women's pro basketball is a form of subsidized affirmative action. Its laughable because NONE of the women players could compete against the men. The game is just not just up to the guys' level. That's why the WNBA deserves to be put out of its misery. On the other hand, Danica Patrick is a terrific driver and there are no special rules in the Indy 500 created just for her. To the contrary, one man wanted special treatment because he couldn't stand a woman beating him under the same rules every one else plays under. There are women athletes who are good at what they do and then there are the poseurs. The market is pretty good at letting people know where women truly excel in the sports world.

"why on earth would Schlussel be caught dead anywhere near him?"

C'mon your smarter than that! It's called publicity! She was pimping in Chicago years back on the ManCow morning show.

[goldstategop]

The NBA is keeping the league alive as a tax write off and secondidly as a sop to the NOW feminazis. On its own it would have expired a long time ago. In the real free market, there's no interest in women's basketball - and few men are turned on by women taller than them.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[goldstategop]

Women don't want to be them and men don't want to date them. And it insults women to suppose they can only identify with someone who has the same internal plumbing. A good man can be a role model for a woman but you know where twisted feminist thinking has brought us. I guess failure is a good model as long as the failures are women. No one, not even women, would buy it from men. So why are women team sports players held to a lower standard than the guys?

[formerlefty68]

No one does, except other beefy looking women. If you want to watch team sports at the highest level, then you're always talking about men's team sports. A few of those WNBA girls are cute (Sue Bird) and few could be cute of they were a little more girly (Diana Taurasi), but for the most part - ech.
