As Scanner Verena pointed out yesterday, women's sports can get violent. USA Today is claiming this violence is the result of crappy ratings rather than crappy attitudes and while we agree that women can be as agro and nasty as men we haven't seen the WNBA get so much ESPN airtime since, well, ever. Every camera angle, replayed, slo-moed, analyzed discussed and dissected in more detail and depth than a WNBA championship game ever received.
So here's the thing. We think this fight is real, but the cynic inside our heads is watering a seed of doubt. Video after the jump. What do you say? Is it real? And if not, can you blame the league for trading a little cat fight for a little attention? Put our doubts to rest or destroy our faith in the honesty of female fury forever.
