Re: WNBA

I don't know who's sponsoring the league. I don't watch it. This year
tennis with the big names missing due to injury is really boring, as if it
could get any worse. The WNBA will live or die purely from economics sooner
or later. We'll see. It's like the LPGA, women are having a hard time
getting the recognition and money they want, but their gaining ground. I
don't know how many men like watching women's sports, I particularly don't.
The census say's there's more women in the US than men, maybe they should
patronize the female sports more.
