Sports Illustrated's Jay Mohr wrote a charming editorial about women's pro basketball and how it sucks because when you go to a game there are lots of lesbians there and they aren't attractive. Particularly impressive is that he does it without saying "lesbian". Here are some choice quotes:
Little girls and lumberjacks seemed to be the primary ticket holders. The little girls looked at the court in admiration of their heroes, and the lumberjacks looked at the court in a completely different type of admiration. Other than my buddy, I was the only guy in my row, so I was hesitant to stand up and move around. I was afraid of offending the brutes surrounding me. These people were large and in charge, loud and proud, and very capable of beating me to within an inch of my life.
When I was at my one and only WNBA game the two women next to me, in matching flannel shirts and motorcycle boots, told me they got their courtside seats by winning first place in a contest.
It doesn't surprise me that a guy would think these things, but it does surprise me that CNN/SI would publish them. They're also running a poll on "How much of the WNBA Finals will you watch?" at http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/jay_mohr/09/14/mohr.sports/index.html
You can vote for "A lot", "A little" and "You're kidding, right?" I'd suggest voting early and often for "a lot" to let Sports Illustrated and CNN know what you think of the article.
