i don't really follow sports. lot's of reasons i suppose. health problems prevent me from playing sports or even going to most sporting events. so my access to sports is on television, a virtual wasteland where women's sports are concerned.

i could go on forever about the lameness of sports coverage on tv. former players chattering endlessly about irrelevancies just to hear themselves talk. television's paranoid fear of occasional silence. lack of actual game coverage, such as explaining the meaning of rulings by officials. commercial breaks right at the peak of the action. and on a more personal level, if i feel an affinity for one of the teams or players i find the suspense of "who is going to win?" more stressful than exciting.

but mostly... it's because i just can't stand watching a bunch of overpaid, pumped up, self important men be glorified for hitting things with sticks.

which brings me to my question. do we have any members who are feeling sporty? if so, would you be willing to post news now and then of what's going on in the world of women's sports? i'd love to hear about important victories, major upsets, and individual achievements.

i know, i could look that stuff up myself if i were so inclined. but i'm not. it requires too much filtering for a non sporty woman such as myself. i'm guessing i'm not the only member of this blog who feels as i do, who would love to be more informed about women's sports.

so, feeling sporty? if you are, i know that i, for one, would love to read your posts.
