FIBA Trying To Make Women’s Basketball Worth Watching
Deadspin- FIBA is considering some changes to international women’s basketball, including lowering the rim to bring dunking to the game—finally—as well as new, monocle-fogging uniforms that’ll make the sport “more attractive for spectators and media.” We’ve come a long way, baby. FIBA secretary general Patrick Baumann used the end of the women’s world championships to create a little bit of buzz for the sport. Here’s what he said about the prospect of new uniforms:
“We’re not talking about going to beach volleyball,” Baumann said. “We’re talking about keeping it comfortable, but making it more feminine. They are great athletes, but also beautiful athletes and there’s no reason not to show it.”
Aaaannnnddd…. that’s still gonna be a big pass for me. Sorry, but a little unitard and dunking action is not going to make me pay any attention to women’s basketball. Men’s basketball just completely destroys it on every level in terms of entertainment. They either need to go beach volleyball, recruit hotter athletes, or make a mandatory scissoring half time show in order for me to watch. I love how they say that these athletes are “beautiful” to top it off. Yeah I love 6-feet tall 200 pound dykes with kankles wearing singlets and dunking on each other. Not. Either change the rules to make it more interesting (for example they could play with a penis shaped ball that bounces unexpectedly, or two balls with nipples that look like boobs, you’re welcome for the ideas) or make everyone wear thongs and shit or else I will continue to be out. Nice try though.

All women’s sports are jokes.

this is your greatest sentence to date
way to go FIBA. nothing like slutting up the uniforms to give more cred to women’s sports. i’m sure the thought of those giant lady beasts leaping around with their camel toe in everyone’s face is going to tell tickets like crazy.

^^ with vagina.
Women’s basketball is a massive conspiracy AGAINST women’s sports. It is among the least watchable and appealing of all mainstream women’s sports, yet receives more promotion than all other women’s sports combined. Women’s soccer has far more potential. That chick on New Mexico’s team beating up those snotty BYU girls was hot, and nobody in America knows WTF good soccer is supposed to look like anyway. It favors attractive builds unlike basketball, gymnastics or the lanky volleyballers. The most butch they get is like Jenna. Even the men who play it are pretty. Shorten up the shorts on the women’s uniforms and make the tops tight-fitting like an underarmor shirt, and it’d have more sex appeal. And it would be completely insulting to the rest of the male chauvinist world if it became known as a primarily female sport in America.
This title made me laugh. There’s no such thing as a women’s sport worth watching. The only exception MIGHT be women’s BEACH volleyball, fuck that indoor bullshit, those chicks look like retarded giraffes. Chauvinism = Win.
Maybe the shorter rim will bring shorter aka better looking women into the league? either way womens sports suck.
