Track and Field, Volleyball, Soccer, Softball, Golf, education, college, grades, family activities or whatever someone can do outside of basketball.

The problems in the inner-city are not young women. I really do not think a $30,000 job that may or may not last past a couple of years as a vital part of the maturation of women. I would also hope that people in the inner-city have other things to focus on then just being good athletes. For young boys sports is only going to last so long. Not every playground legend is an NBA player or even a college player with boys. There are fewer WNBA teams then there are NBA teams combined with the NDBL or the many other Pro-Leagues we never talk about here.

I guess what I always find funny is why is it an issue if we like or dislike about the WNBA have to turn a social issues and not just the fact the league is good or stinks? I could say the same things about the WNBA that I say about the NHL, MLS, XFL or the Pro Bowlers Tour. The Women's Pro Bowlers Tour folded because there was little interest. If it was not for the NBA and their commitment to keeping the league, it would fold too. Hell, NCAA Women's Basketball loses money every year and at least that is somewhat exciting.
