We have a lot of fans here.
Please give them the upmost respect. WBNA is good basketball.
I follow mostly the former Jayawks like Tamika Dixon of LA.

I guess you learn something every day. Earlier this year, I got into a heated debate with Nugz fan about the WNBA. I was able to point out a fantastic attendance stat for him, that I feel compelled to share again.
The Washington Mystics average better attendance than the following NBA teams: Atlanta, Cleveland, Denver, Golden State, Houston, Miami, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Orleans, Orlando, Seattle. Note - 4 of these teams are Playoff Teams and one of the teams had the #1 pick in the draft and drew big crowds with Yao Ming.
The Mystics averaged 16,067 in attendance last season.
The WNBA really does have fans.

Big mike i realize your are very young. But someone my age can appreciate the womens game. And no its not because its women. There was a time, years ago when the college and high school teams could not dunk! That went on for a number of years. The way the women play was similar to the way the college and HS players used to play. This was even before the three point shot!
Yes its true they dont alley oop. But they do play a very good brand of basketball.

Mike - there are some very wonderful differences in the men's and women's games. I enjoy both, because they are different. I like the "pure" women's game and the athleticism of the men's game. Heck, I just like Hoops.
If you don't have that appreciation, maybe this board isn't for you.

I remember that. Some people just cannot learn......IMO, it was a waste of your time.....But on the other hand, I learned something from that argument, about attendance. So maybe all wasnt lost 
But in that argument, you were right....whether or not he wanted to admit it or not.
All I got to say about the WNBA is this:
Sue Bird is HOTT!!!!
