How are they suppose to magically bring in more revenue if there isn't any coverage of what they are doing so people could see and go to their games.


Also what fluffy is saying is different.

He's basically saying since women can't outperform women they shouldn't even bother and might as well just go back to the kitchen.

You don't have to want to watch wnba but just because they don't outperform men doesn't mean they shouldn't be covered.

Not really what I said is it? I didn't say they shouldn't get coverage either. I made a point that in football they are massively outperformed, you said football is not the only sport, so which sports do women outperform men in?

You are making it sound as if the level of performance is equal and women are being blocked (which is not the case).

If the quality is there, the demand would be there, thus the coverage would be there. The top level is always in the men's leagues and events, that is why it has the highest public interest.

Unless you're suggesting they should be covered equally despite the fact women's sport is not as good and there isn't the same public interest in it.

Do you watch any women's sport? If not why not.

They aren't covered cuz there's no interest. They wouldn't be packin arenas if they started gettin covered.. there's just no interest from the public when men give the same product that's much better.

They don't have to be covered equally but they should have more coverage than they currently have.

I do watch women's sports. The women's US soccer team is pretty awesome. I watch women's tennis.

Also during the Olympics I watch all sorts of women's events.

I do like women's tennis minus the over dramatic annoyin grunting from sone players like sharapova

Cuthbert

Am I fuck mate. I'm saying that female sport is given enough of the spotlight for the quality on show and the demand to see it (and in the case of football exceeds the demand)

Sport will always favour men because we are physically superior and generally faster and stronger. People will always want to see the highest level of physical competition and that will always be male sport. End of.

Not sure if you two remember this, but I think it at least sheds some light on women vs men in the tennis arena:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_..._Sexes_(tennis)

Then there's also this:

Yeah mate I've seen it, there was talk of Serena Williams vs Andy Murray and that got brought up.

That bloke Billie Jean King played against was old enough to be a granddad by the time she played him lol.

Plankton

Actually, I think Serena could beat the top Mens players of the last decade.

Well tbh that match was likely thrown. And if not a woman beatin a guy in his mid 50s doesn't say much.... some guy ranked in the hundreds whooped the williams sisters with ease yrs ago. Like fluffy said men are athletically superior thus more entertainin which is why they r paid more.
