Not just because it's attractive women in bikinis playing basketball, but because it's using sex to bring attention to competitive Women's basketball, which typically has great difficultly acquiring viewers. Overall, I think this is actually a step forward for women and competitive women's sports, and I hope it's successful. | ||

While this league may find a lot of viewers simply because the girls are scantily clad, I don't see how it can be taken seriously as a measure of skill.

Yeah. You do. Not just for talent and power, I'll bet. Because women who focus purely on sport end up like this: ![[image loading]](http://media.mwcradio.com/mimesis/2012-08/05/2012-08-05T171709Z_1_CBRE8741C0Q00_RTROPTP_3_SPORTS-US-OLY-WEIG-WLW76K_JPG_475x310_q85.jpg) | ||

If the girls are willing to do it and there is a market for it how can anyone say they shouldn't? OMG ITS SO SEXUAL... It's just bikinis you can go to the beach and see hundreds of girls in bikinis. Womens volleyball is also played in bikinis and no one cares but they don't play up the sexuality for more viewers. Think you are thinking of beach volleyball. Regular volleyball the teams wear shorts and shirt. | ||

No I'm not sexist, I just prefer to watch the elite level of skill. The WNBA does not compare to the NBA. This will be hot! | ||

It is a cop out answer thought up by bunch of marketing experts that thought the problem must be it isn't sexy enough. That isn't going to legitimize the sport, teams or players in any way. It just turns them into cheap wank material for kids and pathetic guys. Think you are thinking of beach volleyball. Regular volleyball the teams wear shorts and shirt. Wear shorts that barely cover their own asses. Honestly do you people think this is supposed to be legitimate? Of course it's a cheap cop out. That's the point. Like the XFL. It won't last. it'll be funny to watch for a season or two then it will fade away. If the women are willing to do it why the hell should anyone else care? | ||

Because I seriously thought it was. Sometimes gimmicks like that actually happen. What doesn't happen sometimes is a "competitive" league that decides it wants the main allure of it's mainstream sport to be boobs. Oh well. Minus 5 points for the human race. [/QUOTE] Rule #2 learned growing up: unless you want to get your ass beat, never judge how another man (or woman) makes their living[/QUOTE] What was number one?[/QUOTE] #1 Never take offense Thats the only rule you need. Offense is always taken, never given. You choose how often or how much you get offended. Choose not to be offended and you life will be a lot happier. But as to the topic at hand.... about god damn time. Nothing wrong with it. Anyone who says otherwise is lacking the concept of freedom. Only way this is bad in any way is if the women are being forced into it against their will. Otherwise I say more power to them! Stop being haters and either enjoy it... or ignore it. You have the choice. Yay for freedom. | ||

Anyway I don't really understand the point of that. If I want to watch basketball, I watch basketball. And if I want to watch boobs, guess what? This is the freaking internet. | ||

The only reason you should play attention to it is if it accurately reflects your actions (reputation is always a mirror, although often a murky one, of how people perceive you). 2) Anyone can take offense to something if it hurts them personally, so it is not much of a value at all. Even animals get defensive when their interests are unconsciously threatened. On the other hand, one should not be a fundamentalist and personally condemn people for their professions as if they are the same thing. A prostitute can be a caring mother or a negligent one, but her occupation does not determine her personality. 3) This attitude is doubly guilty because it values genetic similarity as a basis of relationship over everything else as well as shelving your moral philosophy for...some reason. Is seeing your niece beaten by her husband somehow more important than if it was your best friend? Or a mentally disabled girl who has no one else to go to? 4) Everyone gets upset when things hurt you (the two are so close that one could argue that it is a tautological relationship). Everyone seeks to avoid pain. And everyone is wrong on this subject. The condemnation of physical/mental pain as inherently evil has been one of the most crippling and nonsensical philosophies in Western history. Anyway, this is a complete derailment of the thread. This should go to PMs if it goes any longer. | ||

Shady speaks the truth. On the internet you can talk shit, but if you can't back it up in real life, I'd suggest not going down a path like that. Never question something unless it really pertains to you, its the fastest route to being a hater. | ||
