		<description>i think a quick team name re-branding would do the trick - 
-
washington mystics = washington feminine mystiques
sacramento monarchs = sacramento matriarchal societies
detroit shock = detroit rock the shocker
- 
done.</description>

		<description>I think she looks like me... only shorter and skinnier with curlier hair and different sized features and angrier and gayer looking, but other than that... TOTALLY the SAME. I know I know. I know what you&#039;re thinking... (not all gay people look the same... they&#039;re isn&#039;t a &quot;gay look&quot;... she doesn&#039;t really look that gay). Still though, she&#039;s gayer looking.</description>

		<description>Lesbians always save the day. Lesbians are the answer to everything. Lesbians are the cure for cancer. Lesbians invented world peace. I wish I could bottle all that lesbianism and pour it into a skillet and make a giant lesbian pancake so everyone could have a bite. So to answer your question.... YES. Lesbians will save the WNBA.</description>

		<description>But... but... men&#039;s butts in the stands are just better than women&#039;s butts in stands. It&#039;s a proven biological fact. They can do dunks!</description>

		<description>You should say that on Slate.com, since that&#039;s where all of this info comes from, and they cite their sources as well -- tell them about the boys teams losing money too and about how the merc and indy tickets were bought by fans and then given away.  If they&#039;re just writing about women&#039;s teams as an easy target when the NBA is also losing dough, that sucks. And if it&#039;s not true that those tickets were free and that&#039;s what they&#039;re saying over there, they need to be paying attention!

Also, the NBA used to make a lot of money, right? And they overpay their players ridiculously.  So it&#039;s a recession situation from a typically profitable team? or no? 

Anyhow, I agree, they should do whatever they can to find all kinds of fans -- but to get through the rough economic spot, maybe a little target marketing would help fill the gap? I want the WNBA to succeed!</description>

		<description>yeah for defo. I&#039;ve always done a lot of sport and been to tonnes of sporting events and stuff here, but when I was in D.C in the summer I went to a Mystics game and it was pretty much the most inspiring game (of any sport) I&#039;ve ever been to. It was such a good atmosphere and I came away feeling totally enthusiastic about sport and the power of women in general etc etc (possibly had too many feelings). It was like gay central aswell; was ace. Plus, those women are AMAZING! Wish my little sister could go see them/a WNBA game or something like that as think it would be really good for self image etc to see some powerful female athletes being awesome and generally fabulous, especially in the midst of all the pressures from tv, magazines,adverts etc coming in all directions to make her worry about herself.</description>
