Ugly, Manly, WNBA Players
Ok so, I was on mediatakeout.com yesterday, and there was a post saying that one of my really good friends in the league looks like a man on the court. Now I'm not even gonna complain about the fact that male athletes rarely get judged negatively based on their physical appearance (even though its true). I realize that, fair or not, we as women are held to a different standard in terms of appearance; and I'm ok with that. I will however argue that many of us are at least as attractive, if not more attractive, than your average woman.
Lets say you were walking down the street and selected 10 women at random. Take their make-up off, put their hair up, dress them in a baggy, unflattering uniform, and make them sweat for two hours. Then see how hot they look. My guess is that you'll have a couple cute ones, some relatively average ones, and probably one or two that are flat out unattractive. Of course they are gonna look better when they are all "put together". And the same can be said for us female ballers. The only difference is that our job puts us in front of everyone all sweaty and gross, all the time.
Trust me when I say the guys that say WNBA players are ugly or manly are the first ones to try and holla when they see us dressed up and out in the club. So that said, here is a picture tribute to just a few of the hot women in the WNBA.
Jen Lacy, Atlanta Dream
Kristin Mann, Washinton Mystics
Shyra Ely, Chicago Sky
Erin Beuscher, San Antonio, Silver Stars
Ashley Robinson, Seattle Storm
Janel Burse, Seattle Storm
And me of course! LOL. Chantelle Anderson, Atlanta Dream(These are JUST A FEW of the beautiful women in the WNBA, but y'all get the point)- TAGS:

That was the money quote of the post. Too true, too true.

I like to watch the WNBA and think that at least 50% of them are at least what I would call attractive. Sweat, clothing and tied back hair notwithstanding. In fact, if the woman is pretty, sweat and heavy breathing makes them sexier as far as I'm concerned! But on the other hand, if they are unattractive, the sweat, etc makes them less appealing.
The thing that gets me is when they not only LOOK like men, but also ACT like men. The level of play is NOTon par with men (and probably never will be) and if I want to see MEN playing, then I'm going to turn to an NBA game and not subject myself to a bunch of obvious lesbians with manly tattoos and macho dispositions doing their man imitations. I appreciate the womens game for what it is. This is not an attack on lesbianism, but more a voice on my personal preference. Besides, the way some of them look, it's obvious that they could care less about what people like me think, and that's okay. But I would never support a team with a bunch of hard-assed looking women.

Visual perception is REAL. That's why we have eyes! It takes a further, greater interest to make a person investigate and learn what's behind the visual, good or bad.

Chantelle, why would you want the uni's to be more flattering? I admire you, but you are not helping the league by agreeing with the ideas like Chris's that women need to look even more like women then you already do to draw in more crowds. From what I read the majority of the people staying away from the WNBA is because they like the showboating of the men's league, and nothing but a dozen more Britney Griners will get them to buy tickets, they just don't appreciate a good ball game unless someone dunks every other bucket, and if you all think that shortening the shorts, or putting tank tops on you all then you all really don't know your fans. After all they want a family environment don't they? (o;
