Women's Basketball

Basketball is really the only sport that I watch. Therefore, when I think of women playing in male dominated sports I think of the WNBA. The Women’s National Basketball Association has not been around for too long. It was approved in 1996 and the games actually started in 1997. Now a days, woman are receiving more chances to exercise some of the same rights as men. However, that does not mean that everyone agrees with it or even cares about it. More than likely if you go to a men’s basketball game you will have a hard time finding a seat, but if you go to a women’s basketball game, depending upon where you go, there might be hundreds of seats left. It is a big change for women to play “male” sports. I do not think that women who plays such sports are portrayed badly though. I just feel as if they do not get as much attention or publicity. I do know people that watch women’s basketball. My Grandma is a huge Notre Dame Women’s Basketball fan and my aunt and uncle attend the Purdue Women’s Basketball games. Although, myself I have only been to one women’s college basketball game and it just was not the same as watching men out there hustling, pushing each other around, and dunking. Nevertheless, I do give the women props, they are doing a lot more than what I could do. To close, women can do pretty much anything that men can do these days; they have come a long way. However, maybe one day the only difference will be the 1-inch smaller Spalding ball the women use.
