It's Back!

Like the horror movie villain that returns in every sequel, the WNBA has returned for it's fifteenth episode season. And like the horror movie franchise that has long since run it's course, virtually no one cares. For their pre-game festivities, they may as well have rolled a tumbleweed across half court.


Now, there may be people interested in what the WNBA has to offer. Of course, their audience is likely trying to find a cure for insomnia or would be looking for the most cost-effective way to torture prisoners now that waterboarding is passe. There is no truth to the rumor that North Korea is looking to gain a WNBA expansion franchise for that purpose.

Lost in the majesty of this benchmark is the actual truth. David Stern forces money into this league. In fact, this money would be better spent if he was to light it on fire or use it as toilet paper. Any time you have a league where half the original teams NO LONGER EXIST, where three teams have relocated, where teams have been forced to merge for financial stability, or where six teams overall have folded due to a lack of interest - the league is not viable. Take it off life support, pull the plug, and bring in a priest to give it Last Rites.

Maybe, at some point in time, there can be a viable professional women's sports league in this country. However, it is not the WNBA. Time to give it the shotgun like Ol' Yeller.
