[QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 2736520, member: 7874"] [SIZE=4]I googled my way through women's professional sports leagues. I found two in which women participate that are successful. They are Professional Beach Volleyball and the Lingerie Football League (rebranded as the Legends Football League). In fact the LFL has expanded internationally into Canada and Australia. I'll let you comment as to why. Perhaps the UFC is making a go of women in bikinis beating the hell out of each other. Otherwise all women's professional sports leagues struggle even with financial subsidies. I must admit I don't watch many WNBA games. I watch highlights of WNBA games in which former UCONN players participated. I follow how individual UCONN grads are doing but that is it. But I don't watch NBA games as well. The list of failed professional sports leagues is very long for both men and women. It appears their marketing was poor or non-existent for so many to fail. On the right we have the LFL pandering to its market’s prurient interests and on the left the WNBA marketing their social rights agenda. Perhaps there is a middle ground approach which will be successful for the WNBA.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
