[QUOTE="VaConnFan11, post: 3140734, member: 7935"] Whether you like it or not, women's sports will never be as lucrative as men's sports in the United States. It's just the way it is. In basketball, people want to see dunks. Until the WNBA lowers the rim a foot, that's not going to happen on a consistent basis. A 10-foot jumper doesn't get people out of their seats like a dunk does. I'm guessing that the WNBA players are too "proud" to even consider lowering the rim, so they are stuck in a catch 22. Professional Softball (yes it does exist) will never come close to even Single A baseball much less the Major Leagues. The same goes for women's hockey. A vast majority of people want to see the best athletes play the sports and for the foreseeable future (probably forever) that is going to be the men. The fan that pays to see Lebron may appreciate Stewie's talents, but he is not going to pay the same amount (or anything close) to see her play. [/QUOTE]
