I swear I went to google.com to find a pictureof Candace Parker the MVP of Tennessee and
this picture was my first option... sad.
On April 8th, 2008 on the 10 o'clock KUTV's (Channel 2) Dave Fox began his nightly news about the world of sports. Of Course it began with the Jazz, talked a little about Spring football for both Utah and BYU and wrapped with up with some baseball and hocky highlights. In the final few seconds he says, "oh and Tenneesse won the national championship." Mary Nichols is then quoted as saying, "I thought Kansas won the National Championship." AWKWARD, but brings our blog into a very interesting topic. Why does womens basketball get absolutely no love? I asked a few people around the place I worked and the answers were suprising. "It's boring." "They aren't athletic." "Who won?" In the end though a majority of them were a combination of its no fun to watch, because they the athletism just isn't there. The people in my office aren't the only ones not paying attention to college basketball. As we can see the news didn't seem to care to show highlights. ESPN didn't unitl the end of the show either. I have to agree with the consensus on this one. Womens basketball just isn't fun to watch. Why? Probably atlethism, but more importantly is that it's just not exciting. Like a majority of my previous posts mentioned; its all about numbers. and if you continutally give information people aren't interested in then people will eventually tune out.
