I found this link from another basketball message board and brought up a lot of talk. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/debbieschlussel/ds20020529.shtml Here's just one quote from another one of this "ladies" reports <I>"Kwame Brown is doing what every wannabe athlete should do – proving his worth on the free market, instead of making taxpayers shoulder his burden while he parties with professors." </i> <I><B>--Debbie Schlussel</b></i>
Interesting isn't the word I'd use. Disgusting. Spiteful. Jealous, perhaps . . . I take it she has a glass stomach, otherwise she wouldn't be able to watch WNBA games, what with her head crammed so far up her ass.
Actually, judged in the context of the rest of her work, that article was rather tame. Still a disgusting piece of drivel though.
From the story: "How many slow-motion, instant replays of an overhead lay-up can you watch before you get a headache? The shot-clock is six seconds longer than the 24-second NBA clock. Boring. The ball is smaller, the hoop lower." An <b>overhead</b> layup! Quick... someone call Dr. Naismith! The hoop <b>lower</b>? I don't think so.... This is one hostile woman. Can I say that?
My response to her: Ms. Schlussel, This is in regards to your idiotic column regarding the WNBA. For one thing, I hope your head doesn't hurt too bad from having to come up with all those witty WNBA acronyms. Also, methinks you have a secret crush on all those women to write such a long drawn out diatribe against them. Did a player turn you down, is that the cause of your bitterness? What do you care? Why does it bother you, and other people, that the WNBA exists? What could possibly be the harm in young women, or freaks-as you like to call them-play a sport? It's one thing not to watch because you think it's boring, I'm pretty much the same way. However, there's no excuse for your hateful and spiteful column. I do feel sorry for you though. I mean, if you get this worked up over something as meaningless as a sport (and don't get me wrong, I'm a huge sports fan), I can't imagine how upset you get at stuff that really matters. Blake Gifford, P.S. It appears by your picture that you don't have much to room to talk about the looks of others. It is nice to see that sex change operations have come so far...you can barely tell.
wow, as much as i dislike the WNBA, i'm still shocked to see a female trash the league in this manner! those of you that mention her previous work... does she only have a vendetta against the WNBA or a problem with female athletes?
