What I'm saying is in spite of all efforts to the contrary, if the WNBA became a lil more SEXIER, their attendance would increase 50%!!!!! Tweety NOlan in a cutoff, belly revealing shirt with NBA shorts from the 70"S!!??? Swin Cash and Tara 'GOT MILK??" Braxton in a halter-styl tank top??? LETS GET REAL!!! LETS GO SHOCK!!! SHOW THEM $%$%$$%!!!! BTW...I have returned from my summer break more EVIL than ever!! I MISSS BENNNNN!!!!
I know this is a male-dominated board so I'll probably catch hell for this, but we devalue women if we only look at them as aesthetically pleasing beings. Why not celebrate the WNBAers for their skills? I see where HQ is coming from as far as raising attendance but I think it cheapens their hard work by saying it cannot stand on its own merits and they need to sex it up. Frankly, what the league needs to do is market to lesbians. Half the league has been rumoured to be lesbian and plenty of lesbians attend these games. But the league won't do this because they're afraid they'll drive the families away. We live in a closed-minded society, I'm afraid.
