Well, Bill Burr was right. Well, in many ways, he still is. We did show up for the Women’s March Madness this year. So much for those idiots who think women’s sports are boring.
We made it past 9.9 million viewers. But we still have some work to do in supporting each other, especially in the area of women’s sports, ladies. The camera view of the Women’s Frozen Four between Ohio State and Wisconsin showed a few behinds in seats. I wonder how many viewers watched (couldn’t find viewership information for the game), and that’s sad. It was a great game with Wisconsin beating the defending champions, Ohio State, 1-0.
But for the Women’s March Madness, there were definitely behinds in seats at the arena plus viewership. It seems everyone wanted to see Iowa Hawkeyes battle the LSU Tigers. But we had to turn the first title for LSU into a catfight.
First, folks had a problem with the John Cena hand wave by Angel Reese of LSU which was a copy of the same move Caitlin Clark did in the Louisville game.

Now, Reese and First Lady Jill Biden are not seeing eye to eye.

As someone who has seen an 18-year catfight, let me tell you ladies the aggressor never wins. Actually, no one wins even though the victim can come out better off from the aggressor’s attack. But the time and effort put into a catfight are exhausting and wasteful for all parties (the aggressor can never win even if she thinks she can). As Gary Owens said in his video, smack talk is part of sports. If we think we cannot do it because we are supposed to be ladylike, stop it! We need to stop thinking we cannot do what the guys do in a game. Smack talking in a game is like chipotle sauce on a delicious sandwich.
Instead of being catty, we need to start truly supporting each other. Attend or watch the games of other female athletes. We need to jaw-jack. We need to stop thinking sportsmanship is being a lady on the basketball court or the field. It’s okay to have a scrum now and again on the ice. If we want to be treated equally, we need to start acting like equals. let’s take a lesson from the fellas . . . play our hearts out, chirp, and drop it when we leave our playing space.
