Why all the hate for the WNBA?

There's nothing wrong with it, it just depends on the style of basketball you like to watch.

I personally, like to watch GOOD basketball, so I'm not a particular fan of the WNBA for that reason.

But to each his own, you know?

    I don't think people hate it... It's just crap compared to the NBA. But if we don't get an NBA season, we may have to consider the WNBA.. :/

    It comes all the way down to excitement... At any NBA activity you're gaurenteed to be certain some dunks, allyoops, bounce pictures, 3 rules that are like from 35 feet out, above the rim, physicality, and a extreme scoring activity. one hundred twenty five -114. WNBA there have in basic terms been 2 dunks in the excellent existance of teh Leauge, allyoops i think of are forbidden, bounce pictures are uncommon, 3 rules from extreme college distance, 23 feet, decrease than the rim action, Granted the gals who play WNBA are complicated, they dont study to Ben Wallace or Denis Rodman, there is not any longer something apealing in seeing a woman sream after blockading a shot, kinda awkward dont you think of?, yet seeing amare soudamire placed one off the glass is beautiful. And ultimately, the girls even stars like Tarasi, could be held to 0 factors if the final NBA defenders performed protection on her. It in basic terms doesnt study. woman and male activities are no longer in a similar league... or perhaps on a similar degree of excellence. Sorry if I offened all of us... yet its actuality.

    Because most the people that hate WNBA are not use to seeing the game played with skills. Pure shooting and fundamental down pad. They play a clean game. That why they make most of there money in Europe,Israel and other foreign counties that love a great game of basketball. To each it own.

    Ya know, I have to agree with you. There's no reason why people are so hostile towards the WNBA. I just prefer watching real sports, so I'd never watch the WNBA.

    They're boring and very sloppy. It is very fundamental once you think about though. They can't use their size nor strength to play better, so they have to result to pure basketball, which nowadays is kind of boring.
