The WNBA Finals: Thanks, Title IX

Most sports fans are focused on three main things right now:

1. Major League Baseball
2. The upcoming NFL season
3. NCAA Football.

What people are not talking about is the major championship that began Wednesday night: the WNBA Finals! Ok, so maybe it's not major, but it is a championship nonetheless, so it merits a little attention. Right?

The Sacramento Monarchs -- the defending champs, apparently -- took it to the Detroit Shock last night in Game 1 of the Finals, 95-71. We suppose the Shock were menstruating or something.

So what happened in the game, you ask. C'mon, Big Picture, give us some hard-hitting analysis.

Well, we frankly have no idea what happened in the game. You think we were watching? Fuck no.

We were watching the Giants/Braves game, studying for our upcoming fantasy football draft and talking college football over at our other site.

But you can find out what happened right here. There's no word if Ron Artest -- now a member of the Sacramento Kings, if you recall -- was in attendance. Though the game was in the lovely city of Detroit, so we imagine Artest didn't make the trip...on second thought, that's where he's happiest: in The Palace at Auburn Hills!

Game 2 is Friday, so be sure to go out to dinner, see a movie, read a book; just get the hell away from your TV set. Or, if you're feeling particularly audacious, ugh, watch the game. It'll probably be on ESPN. Yeah, the WNBA Finals.

Title 9 sucks and so does the WNBA. I hope no male is choosing to watch the finals.

Title IX has had a tremendous impact on intercollegiate athletics and higher education. Your comment is incredibly ignorant. While football and men's basketball are known as revenue-producing sports, that doesn't mean that those student-athletes treasure their playing experience more than field hockey and softball players. Everybody deserves an equal opportunity, especially with regard to education.
