Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3893089, member: 10435"] I think it is something far more insidious than just the endless blabber, the misinformation, the lack of analysis, and the distraction. I think it is intentional and sexist and comes from the networks, SNY clearly excluded because they know who their fans are. I think it comes from their belief, perception, or notion that the women's game is not stand alone entertaining enough or good enough basketball to just "do" the game but has to be augmented with all this other irrelevant nonsense. I watch men's basketball and there is no comparison. The announcers are being told I think in the women's game not to allow for any pauses or silent periods because they don't want viewers to watch the actual game and then say " This is boring, I'm changing channels". It is insulting to our team and every other women's basketball team. Instead, as a protective mechanism, our viewers now know by feel where every mute button is on every remote in their house.
