I've noticed for years that women's basketball just doesn't get the same energy as men's. Like, I remember turning on ESPN and seeing nonstop highlight reels for NBA games, but barely a mention of the women's teams, unless it's like March Madness or the WNBA finals. I honestly think a lot of it is just old stereotypes that make people overlook how good the games actually are.

In my experience, the women's games can be super intense and the players show insane skill—sometimes way more teamwork than in men's games. But still, the ads, the media, and even conversations at school feel like they push the men's games more. Maybe it's just tradition or people not wanting to break their usual habits, but to me, it's kind of frustrating! I wish more people would just watch a women's basketball game without judging and actually enjoy the entertainment. If you ask me, it's about time we stop acting like it's less fun, because honestly, I've been to both and women's games can be way more exciting. Go check out a game and see for yourself!
