It was just a poor attempt at humor.

I didn't mean to be an asshole,

Sorry!

But as you ask: I play poker for a living pretty much every day, in a sports club with walls of TV screens, and very few guys I play with every day have any interest in women's sports, so that is where that comes from.

I prefer women's basketball, as it is more about strategy, shooting and passing than just some 8 foot, four hundred pound guy muscling to the basket to dunk it.

If the basket was raised a foot or two, to prevent dunking, then there would be a lot more players with great skills playing who are just too small today.

Is height more fun to watch than skill?

More Pete Maravich's, Michael Jordans, and Larry Birds, who were much more fun to watch, IMO, than Wilt Chamberlain or Shaquille.

Women's basketball is more about skill and strategy than height because they cannot dunk.

But I mean no disrespect or insults.

Just talking :).

Why would you even ask such a thing?
