Reply to comment by _Apatosaurus_ in Hamby claims [WNBA Champ] Aces 'unprofessional' after trade by Responsible-Lunch815

> Might as well go to the conservative sub and ask if anyone even likes AOC.

That is not at all an apt comparison. /r/sports leans pretty damn far left. It's possible to go lefter, but not by too much. This is by no means a "conservative sub". And "watching the WNBA" equating to liking AOC is curious as well. If you're solely making an unrelated analogy, then great, no problem. But if this is kinda how you equate things in your head, I def find that interesting.

Not when it comes to anything related to women. This sub, like many others, is a cesspool of sexism.

Yeah, you just entirely missed the point. Sports subs here hate women's sports. The conservative sub hates AOC. That's it.

I'm a long time sports watcher. I don't hate women's sports. Women's sports is just on nowhere near the same level as men's sports. I don't watch most women's sports for the same reason I don't watch Junior hockey. If that's your thing, power to you. No hatred involved. Just: I like watching the best humans battle in sports. That is not hatred in any way shape or form, and I'm the majority.

Not based on the mocking and vitriol for women get every time the WNBA is mentioned.

When I don't follow a sport, I skip those threads. When the WNBA comes up, it's usually full of men talking about how trash it is and how no one watches it.

Is that hatred though? "trash" may be an overstatement and a value judgment based on preference, but the WNBA is definitely not the NBA. It's definitely not NCAA either. It's not unwatchable, but I devote a very little bit of my life to watching entertainment. If I'm watching sports, why would I watch lesser sportsters doing the sports? If you want to, then by all means do so. Most clearly do not want to. And that's OK, not hatred, not sexist, etc.
