I just watched a segment about pushing for the end of cheerleaders in various sports, because it objectifies women. It mentioned the ring girls at fights, boxing, mma, nfl, all of it. I wonder how far the PC bs will go. I’ve listened to women tell me they watch basketball and football because of the men’s physiques, etc. I guess they’ll be calling for the basketball players to wear pants and t-shirts soon.

I'll tell ya this, I don't think I've can think of anything more boring or uninteresting to watch for me than the WNBA. However, if those girls actually wore proper length shorts during play--I'm talking mid-thigh length--instead of the ghetto crap that is below their knees, than I might actually tune in now and then and enjoy a game. It's the same reason why I only enjoy watching women's soccer.

Women's beach volleyball. I watch it because of the unique athletic skills each of the players have acquired through dedication, blah blah blah.

^^^^^^ How do they keep the sand out of their cooters? JHC, they might as well just play nekkid.

Now THAT I'd watch!

Next year's contestants won't even have to be women.

I’m honest and will freely admit that I’ve watched tennis since the mid 80’s when I bought myself a cable subscription with my own money as a kid. Today’s game vs then is night and day. There are some very attractive pro tennis female players today. They have athletic physiques (which I quite like), they are tan, they sweat, and grunt during ball strikes. Due to the skirts you get to see some toned legs. Are all of them attractive? No, but many are and I quite enjoy those matches. Nothing hotter to me than a fit, tan, beautiful woman. Not into the waif look of runway models with no muscle tone. I’ll watch them over say the NFL any day of the week. Oh and I do not watch men’s tennis and haven’t since I was a kid. But I will forever watch the women’s game. And the pro beach volleyball ladies, yeah sign me up for that too, as well as the Ms. Fitness competitions (no roids, the slender ladies who compete in bikinis. Is there something wrong with being attracted to the opposite sex and enjoying the in shape women? No. I remember one year when Ana Ivanovic played Maria Sharapova in the Australian Open final for the slam title. I texted all my friends who were into football hardcore and told them the real super bowl is on today. The comments were priceless I received were priceless. “that’s gay!” Really? You’d schoose to watch grown men roll around on the ground together over two beautiful tanned women in skirts? Different strokes man.

I can't stop laughing! The ultimate Hillbilly quandry!!!

Fat girls in a beauty pageant ....
.....sheesh......

Watching that sand ball makes me miss the glory days......'cept I wore shorts.

How about a media self survey?

Women’s beach volleyball on one channel at the same time as this “pageant/competition” happens on another?

Check the numbers of those watching...

Thanks, synthplayer, for the video. Any time I need a pick-me-up I'll watch it

It's like taking the fish out of the fishing tournament...

The local farm report around here would get more ratings because the woman doing some segments is a real looker.

This is a real head-scratcher I tell ya!

Bikini-Free Miss America Viewership Plummets 36% In Key 18-49 Age Demographic

Stick a fork in this thing. I'm not even sure they bother having it next year.

We watched Barnwood Builders on DIY, at least that show makes sense.
