Haslem is a Canes fan. The way he tells it is that he played at UF, but he's from Miami and grew up a Cane and always will be a Cane.

Right? Because spitting on Jason Williams and his family, throwing a portable fan on his younger daughter, and hitting his older daughter with five pitches wasn't poor sportsmanship.
All this for a college softball game?
Wow.
This sounds like something from a Latin American soccer match or Mexican National team match in the USA.
What next?
Hurling bags of urine?

College softball has always been pretty intense, and it's a fantastic sport. Great regional rivalries that haven't been ruined like football. I really wish Miami would get a team.
From The Athletic in May 2025:
In the last few years, softball has exploded in popularity, often drawing better ratings than the men’s College World Series. In 2021, the WCWC outdrew the MCWS by nearly 60 percent (1.2 million average viewers to 775,000), and in 2022, it set a viewership record in the championship series with an average of 1.7 million viewers during Game 2. It again outdrew the MCWS final. Last year, Game 1 of the WCWS championship series reached 1.9 million viewers with a peak of 2.1 million.
How did college softball become a hitter’s game?
The yellow ball has made softball a hitters’ sport, with players throughout the lineup regularly smashing home runs.

I will add that this is one of the reasons that I did enjoy my two years at UF so much - because I was able to finally have women's teams for sports that I love but Miami doesn't have, such as gymnastics and softball. But it drives me crazy that they act like this, because I just can't support this behavior and I do not condone it at all.
College softball is a really awesome sport, however, and those of you that are into baseball should check out the WCWS. It's really fun to watch and they are great athletes.

A ton more competition on TV for the men compared to the women which skews the numbers a bit.College softball has always been pretty intense, and it's a fantastic sport. Great regional rivalries that haven't been ruined like football. I really wish Miami would get a team.

Wow, in a way I'm not surprised and as I former rec league softball softball player I can attest to the girls' ability to play. On several occasions we had a couple of girls filling in our men's teams and they were legit. This was almost 30 years ago and I think they've gotten better since that era.

It’s actually the opposite, because the WCWS is on earlier and at the same time as the NBA Finals.

They have, and a couple years ago the NCAA even reduced the size of the strike zone.

I was simply looking at the standpoint that the WCWS is usually during the week while the MCWS is over the weekend.

WCWS kicks off on a Thursday, runs through the weekend, and then through the next week. It's really not that different.

Oh, I think we are talking about separate things, I was only talking about the finals, my bad!!! I think the finals for the women runs mostly on weekday nights, whereas the men I think runs weekend nights.

I agree with the college softball being a cool sport. I'm sure I'll be clowned, but me and some friends stumbled on the WCWS at a sports bar a few years back and decided we actually enjoy it more than the MCWS. The games are shorter, quicker and typically more exciting.
