Why can't women play basketball?


They're pretty good at almost every other sport they participate in, but it's really painfull to try to watch them play basketball. I don't know why colleges and the NBA support them--nobody is watching (that's why you'll often see CBS show them opposite to other network's NFL games.)

I like watching their softball games when I can catch them.
Their soccer is pretty faul though, in addition to basketball.

They can really zip the ball in, but I see a lot of the hitters stepping away from the ball on a swing. I think their soccer is OK, from what I've seen of it, which isn't much. I haven't watched much of any soccer so really can't judge.

Women can rarely get inside and dunk..violently dunking the ball is a guy thing….Guys are just bigger, faster and stronger than women, I appreciate athletic women but they are are all weak compared to men

The Lady NBA basketball is pretty good because they know how to pass and they don’t showboat too much but they are weak and slow compared to the NBA men

Maybe we should stop comparing them to men?? Just accept and appreciate them for who they are and what their skill level is. Women's basketball gets quite a bit of coverage and attention around here. Sure, it's not the same attention as men's basketball gets, but they do have plenty of fans.

I’m just not a fan, men are just way bigger and stronger…Lady NBA is like Lady boxing…I don’t care for it

I get it. We're all different and have different likes and tastes, which is why we say "to each his own." 😊

I've read that women have slower reaction times and basketball is better with quick passes, cuts and dribbling. Women often have trouble competing on Jeopardy because they cannot click the buzzer fast enough. I think that's partly how the computer beat Ken Jennings because the computer clicked faster.
