Rabbits, Blinkity

Look, I'm used to trolls, okay? I've been using the Internet since Yahoo was a only a web index and not a search engine. I've even read Encyclopedia Dramatica on occasion. But I still don't understand this:

they call these s.lut.s professionals

welcome to the PMS league..the WNBA is CRAP PY
-- saylaka2000

Now, I do understand, say, stupid tasteless comments on youtube - there are 'related video' links and 'featured videos' there to tempt you. Plus, it's an obvious enough target that you might just search for things just to be an asshole. But to make rude comments on an espn.com box score, you have to:

• A: Know that the game is going on.
• B: Be interested enough to check for box scores.

And you very likely care enough to actually watch the game. Which, in fact, the various "slut" commentators did, because many of them mentioned specific events from the game.

Like this comment if you had no idea that the WNBA was even playing a season.

A little ironic, maybe?

I've got a theory, though. Somewhere out there, in the depths of the Internet, there are a bunch of dudes who started watching the Lynx vs. the Dream, and realized they liked it. So much, in fact, that they bothered to look up the box score in order to get more information about the game. But suddenly, they realize what they're doing: they're actually enjoying women's sports. The horror! So, in a panic to retain their sports fan street cred, where women are only allowed to play tennis and gymnastics, they quickly make an sexist comment on the box score comment board.

Get over yourselves. The WNBA is awesome and you know it, else you wouldn't even be there to talk about it. The sooner you realize that, the happier you'll be.

Also, Go Lynx!
