Well holy shitballs.. The 2009 NCAA Women’s Division I Basketball 
Championships commenced March 21, 2009 and will conclude April 7. Because of this, opening day for MENS baseball on April 5th is being pushed to ESPN2, so that women’s basketball can be televised on ESPN.
Before continuing further, I’d like to exclaim… “What the fuck?”
Since when did women’s sports at any point in their season, up to and including world championship games, supersede any men’s sports?
At ANY TIME Ill be watching the Bi-regional Minnesota curling opening day rather than a women’s championship of “insert sport here”. This may sound blatantly sexist, and I’m not one to dodge accusations so yes. Yes it is. Its also the truth. A pre-season football game beats the ratings, hell a draft day for football can beat a women’s championship game. This all leads me to, what the hell ESPN, what in the HELL!?
Sure Ill still be able to watch the opening day of baseball, I’ve got a simple
cable package that includes ESPN channels, and I don’t have to watch the women’s Final Four. But that’s not the point, the point is how in gods name is women’s basketball superseding the MLB? Did the steroids scandal devastate it that bad? Did the Venezuelan sweat shops that raised Alex Rodriguez finally kill a kid from overexertion!?
What happened? Someone tell me. Please.
