And the answer to that question would be a resounding, “Yes, yes I would say that.” This is kind of unprecedented though– who would’ve ever imagined that a professional sports league would have to try to guilt people into watching their product? Sadly though, this is nothing new as far as male/female relations go. I mean if the WNBA was trying to avoid gender stereotyping, they pretty much played into the oldest one in the book with the whole guilt trip thing here. It’s something women have been proficient in for years (i.e., “Oh so you want to hang out with your friends on Sunday instead of me? (Tear, sniffle) Clearly you like them more than you like me.”), but the fact that it has now become the premise for a national ad campaign just shows how out of control this whole feminism thing has gotten.
Now am I saying that women are less intelligent than men? Absolutely not. The only people left on the planet who still believe that force their wives to wear burkhas. But there’s a fundamental reason why people don’t watch women’s sports, and it’s something that no amount of women’s lib propaganda can undo: women can’t jump as high, hit a ball as far, or run as fast as their male counterparts. Bottom line is, people will always feel as though they are watching a second-rate product when it comes to women’s sports. So just let it go, you crazy bra-burners– no amount of insinuating that we are bigots for thinking the WNBA sucks will get us to watch it.
