I don't watch anything that involves chasing a ball.

It is just another one of those things to keep the nags happy.  If you want a real treat, go to one of the games.  All the fans are carpet munchers.

Wow, how much in the hole (pardon the expression) is that league?

The real story behind the WNBA is what they don't show on t.v.

Just how they keep their shoes from scuffing up the floors is beyond me--they must have a very skilled ferrier who knows how to hot shoe with rubber.  

You also don't see the feed troughs and the oat bags--it's considered impolite for the players to strap on the feedbags on camera.

I've even heard that one of the teams has a player that can count to ten by stamping her foot on the court--very helpful in figuring out how many bags of oats to bring in before the big game.  

Did you know that due to the wild popularity of the WNBA that NIKE, Converse, and Addidas are all now making sport saddles and bridles?  You should see NIKE's saddle with the swoop on the side--it's FABULOUS.  

Yippee Kay AY motherf@ker!!!

Sports Illustrated did an article on the WNBA. I don't remember how much it was loosing, but they are loosing millions every year. The NBA it the only thing keepig it afloat. The NBA is the only thing that keeps them going year after year. After commisioner stern is gone the WNBA will follow.

I think they're close to going under. The womens soccer league just went under.

Since when was WNBA a 'professional' sport?
