Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 3912931, member: 3834"] They can promote all they want to. The bottom line is that most basketball fans are pretty ignorant of what is truly beautiful about the game. Teamwork, passing, etc just isn’t part of why they watch the game. They are there for the dunks, the attitudes, the speed and incredible athleticism of men who are essentially modern day giants. The women attract those of us who enjoy the other side of the game; teamwork, passing, screens, basically the fundamental skills that were what originally made basketball popular before the modern era. I doubt seriously they are going to find some hitherto untapped reservoir of fans who are just waiting to discover women’s basketball. Having said that, I am shocked at how tone deaf the NCAA is! This kind of stuff is a PR nightmare and is most definitely not a good look for them. [/QUOTE]
