It's not that everyone hates women's sports. It's that the most prominent professional example, the WNBA, is a silly organization full of ridiculous people doing silly things. Exhibit Q of this involves a player losing her wig and the referee throwing out a fan for laughing about it. No, seriously. This is a thing that happened.

And I'm not one of the people who think women's sports can't be successful. The problem is, up until now, none the people involved in women's sports or who report on women's sports have been concerned with selling tickets, selling merch, filling arenas, appealing to a broader range of fans, or growing the sport in any measurable way. Not as much as they care about virtue signalling.

Not that there isn't the occasional bright spot...

But outside of the Cailtyn Clark Extended Universe, you have... everything else. Last night, Phoenix Mercury guard Kahleah Copper had her wig pulled off and needed a timeout to run off the court for some reason. I'm not quite sure why the lack of a wig prevented her from playing. Michael Jordan played with the flu. But, for whatever reason, a time-out was called for this laughable reason.

And you and I reading this weren't the only ones laughing. A fan in the crowd laughed about it and made fun of her. So her teammates had the ref eject him from the game. They called security and everything. All over a fan making fun of a player. Yes, in professional sports.

The moment was out of the ordinary and while most in attendance did not make a spectacle of it, one fan apparently mocked the situation. Copper’s teammates had gathered around officials pointing out the offender.

“They made fun of her for the situation on the floor,” the refs and officials can be heard saying to each other and arena security confronted the man and escorted him out.

If women's sports want to be taken seriously, maybe women's sports should start taking women's sports seriously. Just a suggestion.
