Two former NBA players have reportedly now declared for the 2027 WNBA draft

It should be interesting to see what happens as Sophie Cunningham and a couple others have stood for not allowing biological males to play in women's sports and been denounced and abused physically for that stance. The league is ambiguous as to what a woman is, so these two guys are testing the league's stance on the definition of womanhood. It will be interesting to see what happens if these so-called WNBA stars have to actually play against men who are much taller, much heavier, and much stronger than their opponents. I wonder if any WNBA folks will try to play for the NBA? I doubt it.
 
Women in the NBA? Not a chance.
Biological males in the WNBA? I wonder how many types of law suits are on the horizon?

When I was a kid, I played “around” with basketball but never really played it but that said, I have a lot of admiration for those who are proficient in the sport.
Basketball is probably one of the most, if not THE most physically taxing of all the sports partially due to the fact that it isn’t just about one’s agility, stamina and the ability to make a basket under high stress situations but its also a heavy duty contact sport.

So far as the “contact” part of basketball, the average weight of the ladies in the WNBA is around 170 pounds whereas their counterparts in the NBA is sitting at about 215.
If one looks at the players in the WNBA, the ladies are already taped up from shoulders to ankles just for banging into each other so think how more so it will be if they play against someone who is bigger, stronger, taller and heavier than they.
In my most humble opinion, if biological males are introduced into WNBA, it won’t be because of the amount of agility or finesse the biological anomaly has but rather how much damage and havoc his signers think he can do to opposing female players.

I've only seen snippets of WNBA games, and the game they are playing is nothing like the game I played in High School. It wasn't a contact sport in those days, but is now a full collision sport. Hockey without the ice. Mr. Naismith must be spinning in his grave.

As with most things nowadays, actions have no consequences so people are emboldened to do the most hateful and egregious things and get away with it. It's a shame that a certain factor in the WNBA is allowed to physically attack other players with impunity.

Personally, I don't care what happens to the league; I have zero interest in it.
Let men take the whole thing over, I couldn't care less. I want to know where the damn feminists are when they are actually needed.

I always found it to be a boring sport. The NBA nearly collapsed until Larry Bird and Michael Jordan came on the scene. The WNBA is just a more boring version of the NBA, and I think these NBA players are trying to prove a point and pick apart the Woke attitude that pervades the WNBA.
 
I can't work up a sweat about either men's or women's basketball. I liked it in high school....hell, there was no way I couldn't....I was born and grew up in Indiana and we breathed and lived basketball, especially high school basketball.

I'm a sort-of football fan now, especially college ball (GO HOOSIERS!) I watch it and I enjoy it but I'm not heartbroken if I miss a game.

Apropos of nothing: Years ago I was on a forum with a guy whose forum nickname was "Hoosier Daddy" and I thought that was the most clever thing ever. Now I've seen it frequently so it's not unique any longer, but in 2005 it was.
 
This is kind of absurd, but I can't watch basketball on TV because 1) it's boring and 2) the sound of basketball shoes squeaking on the floor makes my teeth hurt.

Another fact about me that no one is interested in... I'm 5'2" and I played basketball in high school. Luckily back then, boys were not even allowed in the gym while we were playing, so no danger of coed sports.

Coleman Young was mayor of Detroit when I lived there. He had so many paternity suits against him that the joke was that when he retired, he was going to open a chain of Mexican restaurants called "Nacho Daddy".

Did you play by so-called "girls rules"? Six on each team, 3 stayed on offense, the other three on defense and were not allowed to cross the center line because you delicate flowers shouldn't be running up and down the court. That how the girls played in phys Ed at my school in the early sixties.

No, we played by standard rules. Occasionally we played half court if other stuff was taking up space in the gym, though.

No, just a little school in Appalachia. My graduating class was considered as a big one - 45 students, There wasn't a Catholic school in the county. Have no idea where the closest one would have been. Only 2 churches in our little village, Baptist and Methodist, and it was considered a mixed marriage if a Baptist and Methodist got married.... :ROFLMAO:

Oh, the horror! I know there was a great falling-out in my mother's family when somebody Baptist married a Methodist......in the Methodist church, no less. All the things done in the name of religion.....
 
I, too, married a Catholic, but I was nearly 30 when I did so, and my family was so relieved that I was finally getting married that they accepted her warmly. I left the Methodist Church when it became pro-abortion and anti-homeschool. I will probably never join another denomination, but I attend a little Catholic church regularly.
