Heh, okay. Use this, maybe:

Anyway, I will add something else, at risk of being pounced upon, tarred and feathered. What will guarantee the success of the WNBA will be masculine interest. There, I said it.

Because I don't envision women — in general — going to games in buddy groups, drinking a lot of beer, and buying team merchandise. Maybe they do so in conjunction with their boyfriends and husbands, but not on their own.

Nor do I envision women sinking into their oversized recliners*, said beer in hand, and tuning into the WNBA game. On their own, that is. And in general, remember. But the more men who become interested in the WNBA, the better it will be for the league.

*Non-sequitur: I went shopping for a new recliner at La-Z-Boy yesterday, the first time I have been in the market for the better part of a couple of decades. I was struck by the increased width of most recliners; we all know the reason for that. For somebody who is not that wide, it's not as comfortable because the arm rests are positioned so that when you place your elbows and forearms on them, they put pressure on your collarbones and shoulder blades. Fortunately, I found one that was more my size.

But, I swear to Jehovah, they had one model on display that topped them all. This thing was tremendous! It looked like Henry VIII's throne. My wife said I looked like a little boy when I sat in it. (I am six foot tall.) I wish I had taken a picture; it looked like the Roman model here but that image doesn't do justice to the behemoth that swallowed me. (I had difficulty getting out of it, to be honest.)
