$10 million for WNBA champs to play a boy's high school team

[martin]

Male and female sports exist in different domains. Don’t compare them, just as we don’t compare female and male hockey teams or imagine Coco Gauff on a lesser plane from Taylor Fritz.

 

[Crepitus]

Clay Travis, a talker on some FOX sports program or another, has made a public statement, saying he will pay $10 million to winner of a basketball game between the Las Vegas Aces WNBA champion team and a boy's high school basketball team of his choosing. So far, and it's been several days, the WNBA has not taken him up on his offer.

Instead, the usual chattering class on the Left is claiming this is sexist and just grandstanding.

Seems to me to be a legitimate offer made publicly.

My bet is a regional or national championship high school boy's basketball team will wipe the floor against the Aces.

Oh look, misogyny from faux noize.

What a surprise.

 

[Crepitus]

You think RuPaul is beta male screeching. STFU.

No, son. We think you are.

And we are right, too.

Funny part is that the team the clown will most likely select will come from some inner city school in a city Fox viewers call shitholes Most of the female players playing in the WNBA at some point grew up competing with boys, some I’m sure with older brothers. And a average boys high school team wouldn’t stand a chance, they couldn’t even measure up with a top women’s college team Stupid publicity stunt

Is that so, Anchovies?

Use your head. It's a taunt, not an offer.

 

[Diogenes]

An answer befitting the dumbness of this thread.

Yours? I think you win the prize in that regard.

One more thing. Hypothetically, if the WNBA accepted this taunt the boys would be at a serious disadvantage. Good shooting is about muscle memory and that memory is embedded in the remembered size and weight of the basketball. Girls play with balls that are both smaller and lighter. The boys, if for no other reason, would get wiped out.

Oh look, misogyny from faux noize.

What a surprise.

How is it "misogyny?" Travis wants to pay the winner of a single basketball game $10 million dollars. What, is it that the adult women can't compete with teenage boys? What's that say about the travesty of letting men pretending to be women play in the WNBA?

Seems to me it is hypocrites, like you, on the Left that are the ones that are misogynous here.

I doubt it. Height is a big advantage in basketball. The boys would also likely have more stamina and speed on the court. If girls use a smaller and lighter ball it is just another sign they can't compete with men on the court.

It is serious money. Whoever wins gets one hell of a payday. The proceeds from the game itself go to a worthy cause. That the WNBA won't take the offer speaks volumes about that league and it really being an amateurish joke.

You wouldn't need a boys all star team I would think most of the state championship teams from a bigger state's largest division would wipe the floor with them.

Well the first amendment and boobs will never let you down!

You doubt it, not that you knew a fucking thing about it.

 

[Althea]

There is ample evidence that the women would be overwhelmed in a game with a top boy's basketball team. As I stated, many of those male players are going on to college to play for major universities and will likely end up in the Final Four of college basketball. Some will end up in the NBA.

They're kids. They have boy strength. There are plenty of women in the WNBA that would bully them.

Think again. It appears that Bella Vista Prep in Scottsdale AZ would mop the floor with them. This is a college prep team that is rated top in the nation and one of the top international high school teams. This is a team and school that has had championship teams year after year, can play competitively with NBA scratch teams in training, and is top among other state championship teams. They'd destroy a WNBA team.

At 17, they're going to be taller, stronger, and faster than the women. They are as well coached, possibly better, and have experience playing against male college and even NBA teams in practice. They'd destroy a woman's team.

I dont follow any sports anymore, but I have been told that WNBA basketball is shit in part because of how they choose to play.....independent of skill.....is this true?

LOL. High school coaches are better than professionals.

Mkay. Boys are not stronger than some of these women. This is actually a stupid idea. There is no way this moron is going to pay that money.

All the more reason to make it an allstar game.

The coaches at this prep school are professionals. Top high schools can hire pros.

He made a public proposition. It would be legally binding. What is stupid is turning it down. But for the Left, it would be a PR disaster as it would show the stupidity of the whole trans movement in sports, among other things.

That wasn't his bet, but maybe the WNBA could make a counteroffer...
