WNBA: Expect Great?

By Perry

Anyone see these new WNBA commercials that are on during the NBA playoffs? It’s marketing genious. Let me set the stage. Some man-chick that plays the sport comes on and says a bunch of phrases that every single intelligent person thinks about the WNBA, because it’s a lame league, nobody cares about it, it’s losing money, and it’s just horrible. Here’s how the commercial goes with some extra commentating by OTR:

PHOTO CAPTION: One man-chick falls over while another misses the ball and the others just don’t know what’s going on in a great match up of loser cooks dinner.

“Womens basketball is joke.”
OTR: Yes, we agree, it is a joke and you wouldn’t be saying this if it wasn’t.

“I’m afraid of contact.”
OTR: With the rim? With a man, physically?

“You couldn’t pay me to watch women’s basketball.”
OTR: I actually will accept money to watch you guys play. I’m fine with that. How much are beers at your arena?

“They wouldn’t say that.”
OTR: However, everyone else does, hence you ladies bringing this up in your commercials.

“Would you?”
OTR: We already do.

Honestly, when is this leauge going to end? Can we think of anything to spice this league up a little? Can we get Bobby Knight to coach one of these teams? How about Isiah Thomas as general manager for the Detroit team? No, none of this will help. Stop this nonsense. It’s ridiculous. Nobody watches this. Stop wasting money advertising for this stupid league.

Perry’s opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the OTR staff. We fully support women in their sports endeavors as they have every right to play sports and get paid to do so.

That said, I can’t stand watching it either.

How is it the USFL folded and yet this crap continues on?

Got something to say?
