Man Attends
WNBA Game
HOUSTON– Electrician Robert Dawes
attended Monday's Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) season
opener between the L.A. Sparks and the Houston Comets. He is believed
to be the first man to ever attend a WNBA game.
“Well my wife wanted
us to do something as a family on Memorial Day,” said Dawes. “And
Julia, my daughter, really wanted to see the pre-game awards. Apparently
the Comets won the championship last year.”
Dawes was relatively
disappointed in the performance of the two teams, who shot a combined 6-for-30
from downtown.
“They scored like 60-something
points [each],” he said. “What is this, the East Bumfuck Elementary
School playoffs? Why do they keep shooting from so far out?
Their arms are too weak. Wilt [Chamberlain] could score more from
his casket.”
Despite Dawes' displeasure,
his wife Karen enjoyed the game.
“It's great to see
women succeeding at sports,” she said.
Her husband responded,
“Succeeding? They look like 8-year-olds when they try to heave that
ball up there.”
Not surprisingly, Dawes
was underwhelmed when the Comets closed the gap to 64-63 with 1:06 to play,
before losing 66-63.
“Everyone started cheering,
but I was like, ‘Whoopty-fucking-doo,’” he said, moving his index finger
in a circle. “All these 10-year-old girls were yelling—I mean screaming.
Screeching. Thousands of them. It's like a child molester's
paradise.”
Dawes went on to say
that he will never view another WNBA game, and included more reasons for
his dislike of the sport.
“That's the last game
I ever see,” he said. “They can't shoot, they're slow, and they move
weird. Like, not fluid, like a man would be. And there aren't
any dunks. I couldn't wait to get out of there to see the Sixers-Bucks.”
Reports that another
man attended the game could not be confirmed at press time.
