UConn's Women Win 69th Straight....

The UConn Huskies Women's basketball team brought their record to (30-0) last night with a win over Notre Dame. (the number after the dash is for how many people care)

Kudos to the Huskies Women's basketball team on going undefeated in the always powerful Big East. But, until women start playing against the men, I still will not watch women's basketball.

If every male athlete came down with a serious case of worms, there were no male sports for a month, and ESPN aired middle school chess tournaments and ESPN2 showed the undefeated UConn Huskies Women's basketball team vs. the undefeated Tennessee Volunteers, I would rather watch a sixth grader think for 12 minutes to move his pawn one spot forward than watch basketball in slow motion. (women's basketball)

It's nothing against women or them being less athletic than men, inferior, or any other male chauvinism. It's because women's basketball is not interesting. It's slower, they shoot at a lower percentage, and they can't dunk (minus a handful of players).

I don't give my girlfriend (a lot of) crap for not wanting to watch baseball, football, or men's basketball with me. I don't call her sexist or feminist for it. She just doesn't find it interesting. But, I don't see her turning on the T.V. to watch the Connecticut women play basketball.

I may be a lone wolf here. You all may actually care. But, I don't want ESPN wasting even a headline on their main page for a women's basketball game, unless someone bitch-slapped someone.

Damn Canada

Just when the United States of America was in all its glory, bringing itself out of recession, electing its first black President, and sending its most recognizable athlete to sex-addicts anonymous, Canada just HAD to go and ruin it by beating us in our favorite sport.

On the 28th of February in the year of 2010, Canada officially made this personal, beating the United States hockey team 3-2 in overtime. No one comes into OUR country and beats us in OUR sport on OUR ice. It's officially on, Canada.

You think that, just because the world let you run with the big boys, you can just go on and win the gold? The US athletes have kids and families back at home. How are they supposed to feed their kids with a silver medal? I guess you just expect them to go back to work at their measly 7 figure jobs. It's ok. We'll get you back. See you in 4 years, Canada.
