Super interesting article. Ive noticed girls less and less into basketball. Simply put, its not "cute" and girls would rather play volleyball wearing cute shorts or run track with spandex. They are less inclined to play basketball where most of the college and professional players are all lesbians(remember the story of the straight wnba player who quit due to being teased for liking men by her team).
In the age of Instagram and TikTok, basketball also suffers in comparison with sports perceived to be “girlier,” Gliebe said.
“I think the biggest reason for girls not participating in basketball, and I know this is silly: It’s not a ‘cute’ sport,” said Gliebe, mentioning the skirts worn in tennis and the spandex shorts worn in volleyball and running. She said she hopes the practice of WNBA players wearing glamorous outfits into arenas helps the game appeal more to teenagers
