It’s even worse when you realize

That any halfway decent boys high school basketball team can beat the best in the WNBA.

Just like when our women’s World Cup scrimmage against high school boys and get their butt kicked.

The one that always surprises me is when you think about Annika Sörenstam and the time she played a PGA event with a sponsors exemption. If there was any sport where you think women could compete with men it would be golf. And she played an event that had a very weak field with few of the top players and still missed the cut. The only reason she wasn’t dead last is because a handful of guys withdrew and a few others were playing with injuries.

The media and activists and other people are always pushing these female athletes to play against men, especially in tennis and golf, but if you notice they’re not rushing out there to do it! Because they know they’re gonna get embarrassed. Because they know they can’t compete but they don’t want to come out and tell these idiots that they really need to shut up because they don’t wanna get the pushback.

Think about when John McEnroe said Serena was the best female player of all time and everybody lost their minds because he didn’t say she was the greatest player of all time. The pushback he got was crazy. But that’s one of the things I love about Johnny Mac, he didn’t back down! He has been my favorite tennis player since I saw him in that classic match against Björn Borg at Wimbledon when he came out of nowhere as a qualifier and almost beat Borg. A lot of people still consider that one of if not the greatest tennis match ever.

I think the number of elite-level women's basketball players is pretty small and the big programs are able to hoard what's out there. So you end up with varsity level players playing against the C-team at times, sometimes the JV team. On a few occasions when the varsity plays the varsity, you get a competitive game.

I also think that without the real jumping ability you see in men, a team that can get really good taller players in the paint can monopolize the rebounding. Clemson had 23 rebounds to USC's 41. Clemson's starting front court is 6'0" and 6'2" (with a 6'3" and 6'3" bench), USC's is 6'5" and 6'2" (with a 6'7", 6'4", 6'3", and 6'3" bench that played). So Clemson played three players over 6' tall and USC played six players over 6' tall. They also have some relatively tall guards as well that played (three 6' or better).
