Message: [QUOTE="tchalla1, post: 3169550, member: 9866"] It is not so much capitalism that is the problem, it is, as southofnorth aptly pointed out, it's the unfair and unreasonable expectation that the women's game face when there exists disparate marketing, advertising and unsuitable promotion of the women's game. Another huge challenge is the unfortunate comparison to the men's game: the excellence achieved in the women's game should not be diminished or discounted simply by the fact that the athletes are not as big, fast, strong, and dunk less than the men--just as welterweight Floyd Mayweather's accomplishments in the ring are not diminished because he is not as big, strong and doesn't punch as hard as heavyweight Mike Tyson. If we can accept excellence in this regard without comparison, we should be able to do the same in women's basketball... [/QUOTE]
