Basketball Wives: The show that makes Absolutely No Sense

Since most of the women on basketball wives are either unmarried or have never been married, why don't they just call the show "Basketball Baby Mamas?"

With all the cat-fighting, hemming and hawing, back and forth and he-say, she-say, this show’s popularity says a lot about our culture.  Also, it’s an embarrassment to black women everywhere who are being convinced that letting a basketball player get you naked somehow makes you into a somebody.

Perhaps intelligent black women are just going out of style.  But then again, maybe all the smart black women in the world who are NOT gold-digging hoochie mamas can get together and say something about this show.   There’s more to life than blinging your way onto TV with absolutely no sense of true purpose.

I don't see what the purpose of this show. Only one is an actual wife and she is considering a divorce and the others are "Baby Mamas." Is being the "baby mama" of a man that makes money something to be so proud of? This this what we want our young ladies to be inspired to become when they can easily go to school and be so much more?

All this show proves is that black women make good caddy, silly tv for the folks that are stupid enough to watch them. VH-1 figured if they got a bunch of rich black women together they would act more amoral and ignorant than Tiffany Pollard aka New York and they were right.
