WNBA Overdose

I'm not a huge sports fan (fanatic). I just watch or follow if something interesting pops up on a news feed. (Years ago, in the days of the printed word, I'd read the newspapers every day. NYC and Boston had some of the greatest sports writers of all time who were also some of the greatest newspaper writers of all time. But I digress.)  
.
One of my newsfeeds constantly has 5 or 10 WNBA stories at the very top. Caitlin Clark this. Caitlin Clark that. Angel Reese this. Angel Reese that. I must have clicked on one WNBA story more than a month ago and I can't get it to stop.  I will admit that I am happy that the WNBA is doing well but, for any sport, I just want the scores and some intelligent, informative game commentary, not the constant DRAMA coverage which is making the WNBA irrelevant to me. And the click-bait headlines: "See what Clark did to so-and-so after missed 3-pointer!!" Hmm, let's see ... she got the rebound, passed to a teammate, ran down court, defense switched off to teammate, teammate passed to Clark, Clark made a layup. No blood? No hair pulled out by the roots? No kick to the groin? Just give us honest, informative, relevant headlines and stories.  
.
I'm not going to reprint some of the doozy headlines I've skipped over. I know not to click on them and get Rick Rolled (or Caitlin Rolled). That's what so many WNBA stories are at this time.
