The national anthem being played before all sporting events is ridiculous. Heck, they do it before JV badminton games now (maybe I'm exaggerating, maybe not... who cares).
I agree with you.
With that said, since they are still playing it, that form of protest casts too wide a net for me. I'm a stiff Trump on a WH invite guy.
Plus, I'm not sure the WNBA is providing a good enough product for such a bold protest.
The free throw shooting was impressive.
Too much of the shot selection was that favored by the biggest ball hog on your daughter's 8th grade CYO team.
The flow of the game was herky jerky due to players writhing around on the floor in faux pain trying to get a foul call.
At least in the game last night, atrocious 3 point shooting.
Finally, they stop calling fouls on the premier players when it becomes clear that their hack arse is going to be bench bound with a quarter left to play.
The WNBA is great Girl Power, generates good will and community spirit and promotes sports interest for young girls. Just don't p@iss down my back and tell me we are watching tremendous womens' athletic skill. I watch track, soccer, gymnastics, swimming, tennis and golf to see that.
