Is the WNBA Fucking Serious with these Playoff Commercials?

Slo-mo art house black-and-white shit meant to incite fervor amongst the fan base and exaggerate the excitement of the sport.....oh wait, this would imply there is a fan base. I 100% think women should be entitled to careers in sports just like men. However when that sports league is losing money hand-over-fist every year of its existence someone should pull the plug. Same goes for men's sports. If truth in advertising means anything to anyone, then lets make these commercials a little more realistic. Show us locker room scenes of players engaging in a game of "Disappearing Knuckles" or footage of Lisa Leslie trying to find a pair of high heels in her size. Whatever it is, lets quit showing scenes from games where the camera angle hides the fact that there is no one in the arena past the first 8 rows.

  1. I know a guy who is a legit women's basketball fan...apparently he went to high school with some girl who ended being a legend at OSU or something, and then went on to the WNBA. It's hilarious, but almost sad to watch him ask people at work if they watched the game last night and say what a sweet game it was. Yeah dude, it was riveting when UConn was only up by 40.

    The worst defense by these people is "Oh yeah? Let's see you go play against them!" No thanks, I know I would get owned. But I would still do my best Rick Mahorn impression.
