Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3849731, member: 10435"] I agree with most of this but not as to the reason for the application of this new trend as you describe it to women's basketball. I don't think that the incessant yapping and talk nonsense has to do with the networks' analysis of the fan base in women's basketball. I think it has to do with what they think the nature of the product is- not up to men's standards and not entertaining enough in its own right. Either way, it is sexist if the games, which they are, are treated differently from the men's games by the announcers. As I said before, #1 against #2 recently was not enough to stop the droning. Would that occur in #1 against #2 in the men's game? No, there would be serious commentary related to the game itself or there would be a hue and a cry. [/QUOTE]
