Another in a string of "I hate the WNBA" columns, this time from comedian/sports guy Jay Mohr at SI.com.

Mohr says that the games aren't exciting enough and that there aren't enough points scored. To me, that's a fair enough point. (I even partly agree.)

But most of his column is just a rant about lesbian fans. He mocks the "lumberjacks" who watch the players with a "different type of admiration." He describes the couple sitting next to him, two women "in matching flannel shirts and motorcycle boots." (See also photo accompanying the article.) He says he was put off by all of the women who were "large and in charge, loud and proud." He jokes that he feared all of these "brutes."

It's nothing more than thinly-veiled gay bashing.

The WNBA, like any other league, is open to criticism, even ridicule. Sports columnists are paid to express an opinion, and they are encouraged to be provocative and controversial. Yet I'm always surprised that major media outlets like SI are willing to print homophobic bullshit like this.
