Regardless, if you are a basketball fan, the WNBA reminds you of what the league was before the influx of big potential, no grooming high schoolers. The game is played with a crispness that makes basketball such a great sport to watch when played well. Unfortunately, most basketball fans prefer the high-flying basketball, thus making the league a niche sport relegated to the women's basketball hot spots and one team towns. But answer me this, does Baltimore fit that description? I think it just might.Andrew Seidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398849460946480994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994126741438565103.post-37085448923881157832008-07-16T17:39:00.000-04:002008-07-16T17:39:00.000-04:00I wouldn't consider myself a feminist, but I would...I wouldn't consider myself a feminist, but I would agree that many people do not view sports featuring women as "competitive" or "meaningful" as male sports. But I don't think basketball is the only sport worth watching: volleyball and tennis are good as <BR/>well. Even though women might not be as fast or strong as males, the quality of play is different. Watch the Venus sisters play and compare their match to Roddick/Nadal - there are more volleys and less aces, but getting the ball down the line on a serve is less interesting than battling it out for a deep shot to the left-hand corner of the court.Sheila Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202804061625327807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994126741438565103.post-38766050726899023402008-07-16T17:35:00.000-04:002008-07-16T17:35:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sheila Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202804061625327807noreply@blogger.com
