I don't get mad when people put down women's basketball. I get annoyed when people claim that women's isn't as hard to ref as men's, and when people try to convince me that I shouldn't like women's. I couldn't care less whether others like women's ball or not.

So you know most of the people that make that comment are those that work that level. If you have to constantly tell people that you are getting paid the same amount as those that are doing Men's or Boy's basketball without solicitation that is telling if you ask me. And in my opinion it is easier to work for a bunch of reasons which we do not need to get into. I do what I do and many do what they do because they enjoy working those levels, not what is necessarily easier.

Well why did you feel the need to remind us that today was not a big day for you? No one asked who agreed with the point of view that this was the day before Christmas or not; this was just a personal statement on his part and that is how most of us seemed to take it.

The women's game does not have the seeding upsets like on the men's side. And that alone adds to the level of interest. For one the men's game is on network TV and you can watch tournament games on your computer. I am not sure that you can do the same on the women's side.
And no matter what, I really think you need to lighten up about this topic. If you love Women's college basketball, start a thread about it and see if people respond. I am not sure why it matters that you feel so different about the product than others do.
Just a thought.
