Message: [QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 3948157, member: 10325"] The vast majority of our population couldn't care less about womens' sports once their kids and grandkids stop playing. No criticism of the participants, it's just a fact, and that fact is borne out in a review of PAID attendance for WNBA games and ratings. Friends marvel at the fact we watch women's college basketball and say they can't because it's unwatchable. We feel the same way about both pro leagues for different reasons. It'll be a long time before people here will pay ticket prices high enough to warrant bigger salaries in the WNBA so subsidies will continue in order for teams to survive. If "the league" doesn't keep them afloat we'll have congressional hearings about why women aren't being paid and treated the same and maybe they'll be included in the next stimulus package. [/QUOTE]
