kathleen parker:

Obama’s basketball game, thus, has become a convenient metaphor for an inconvenient truth. Generally speaking, guys prefer to play ball with other guys, just as women prefer to form book clubs with other women. That’s not because women don’t like men (and vice versa) but because when relaxing, women mostly want to drink wine together. And talk about men. I don’t know what men do on the basketball court that is so compelling, but they apparently need it, and I don’t.

how dopey. competitive ballers only care about competition. and obama has probably played basketball with enough d1 women to know that shit is gender-neutral. besides which i probably only say three words during pick-up: lets go back.

UPDATE: the interns have been flooded with email regarding re: lets go back. it means lets go back on defense. as in lets go back on defense because of the purity of the three i just launched in dudes eyeball.

    That piece by KParker is perhaps the worse article I’ve ever read. What’s her point?

    Not that I’m against women’s hoops, but the men’s college and pro game is shockingly more exciting. It’s also very clear that the NBA is subsidizing the WNBA, ’cause there’s no way that league can thrive with 500 people in the stands at some games.

    the article is pointless. im on record re: I’d love to bang Kathleen Parker, but she seems to have adopted the TNC style of writing; ie “I’m going to write 1200 words on why I ‘m not interested in writing about what I’m writing about.” short news day, i guess.
