That's incredibly degrading. Woman don't like be looked at as something different especially if you have the misguidance to tell they aren't any good. "But hell baby, you still look good doing it"


You think that's a compliment?
Edit: Seriously!!???

Nope not buying it. People here aren't saying that these women aren't capable of making these decisions themselves, more that the idea itself isn't overly edifying.

Likewise not all of us are against monetising your sex appeal. Modelling, pornography etc are all fine by me because they are what they are, attractive ladies making the most of this attribute. The problem for me is more when people use their sex appeal to make a mockery of hardworking, talented people in other fields and get a leg up in fields that are completely unrelated to attractiveness. Likewise the token female pickups in the world of SC2, ridiculous to see some of the bans that were handed out on those threads, but some of the posts that are tolerated here.

In before 'well that's the way the world works'. The world only works in certain ways because people accept these as normal.

Equally, such an onus is not placed on the supposed critical importance of attractiveness when it comes to males. Perhaps in sport it's the generally superior product on display, and that's a discussion worth having.

I see where you are coming from, however I do not feel it applies to this bikini league.

When you say that people should not got a leggs-up in a sport because of their attractiveness, I fully agree. Likewise, your point of female pickups holds. However, women playing basketball in bikini's are not competing within official leagues. No basketball player in bikini will face a properly clothed one. They are a brand on its own, solely for the object of entertainment (as I see it). It is not because they decide to wear bikini's, that they are going to be picked up by professional teams or gain an edge over non-properly clothed females.

As for making a mockery of hardworking people, I find that very subjective. It may be a mockery in your eyes, but does that mean that somebody can't find it a compliment? In addition, the goal of this league is not to mock professional female athletes. No, it is a form of entertainment that only aims to make a profit.

However I must admit that it should remain a different and separate league from the official pro circuit, for else it would be ridiculous.

i respect the wnba even though so many people don't. they train hard like other pro athletes but they get so little recognition. out of this respect, i am really disappointed with the announcement of this bikini league.

You sir, need to learn how to debate. It is the responsibility of the challenger to present their facts against the current prevailing de-facto opinion.

In this situation, that women need to appear attractive to attract spectators and their respect rather than relying on purely on physical qualifiers.

I refuse to answer your posts directly because they are simply speculative maybes and rambling. Without scientific backing of your speculation, it's really not worth commenting.

Therefore your name calling, is childish.

My scientific evidence:
The research of the United State Armed Forces on viability of gender equality:

The USAF after almost a decade of research found that for women to gain the operational combat readiness of an infantry man would upon reaching the necessary stamina and strength to carry the same loads, fire the same accuracy as a infantry man, women ended on average 10-20% larger than their male counterparts.

Needless to say, I can't find the paper on google as it still is a controversial subject as it was then, I read almost a decade ago.


My argument is that Bikini basketball has to be a clothing requirement for the sport or else they'll eventually be dominated by women who have no qualms sacrificing their physique to the altar of winning.

Compare this:


with this:



I don't know about you, but as a future father, I would want my daughters to end up as attractive wife material to a potential husband after their contribution to a sport. Turning into a massive she-hulk is not my idea of marriageable material.

Let's agree to disagree and put it down to cultural differences.

I'm willing to bet Sharapova's shoulders are at least twice as broad as yours, she's also 6.2 (6.7 on high heels). Both horse-like, like most women in sports. Don't try to turn sports arena into a beauty pageant, almost always it's either this or that.

Dude, Serena is way hotter than Maria. It's actually hilarious that you compare them side by side and actually consider Maria somehow less disgustingly ripped. I mean she has the little head of a 12 year old on the torso of a male high school track star. Them shoulders o_O

Regarding the logo ripoff, I can't help but think of Team Zebra Lightning. Although this is even lazier.
