Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2811976, member: 5798"] [B]Donald I'm not disagreeing with YOU[/B], you're just the messenger. I'm disagreeing with the content of the report that person gave. That is a ridiculous statement. Here's why: There are several sports rivalries that far out shadow (popularity) and are longer in duration than UConn/Tennessee. We must remember that WCBB is not embraced by mainstream America. [B]MLB[/B] (New York/Boston), the [B]NBA[/B] (Lakers/Celtics), the[B] NFL[/B] (Pick one), [B]college football [/B](Michigan/Ohio St. - USC/Notre Dame, Okla/Texas - Alabama/Auburn), [B]men's college basketball[/B] (Duke/NC), and [URL='http://www.espn.com/soccer/blog/espn-fc-united/68/post/2652620/international-footballs-10-greatest-rivalries'][B]international soccer[/B] [/URL]all have their respective rivalries that are longer, and [U]most of them are still going.[/U] They are much more intense and followed by millions of fans across the country every year. [B]Some of these rivalries go back 60 years or more. [/B][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut–Tennessee_women%27s_basketball_rivalry']The UConn/Tenn series only lasted 12 years (1995-2007)[/URL]. [B]Each one[/B] of these sports have millions more fans than WCBB will ever have. WCBB is liked and followed by a very small percentage of people in the USA. Which is why WNBA players will [U]never[/U] be paid on par with the NBA. [B]WCBB is like beer[/B]. It's something you have to develop a taste for over time. Nobody likes their first beer. :) [/QUOTE]
