Yeah, you may be right.
This is like the AFLW in Aus (activist central), or, similarly, our women’s national soccer team…
The rugby league, union, basketball and netball women have almost none of those issues, though, lol…
Oh, except Liz Cambage. But she’s just a fucking garbage dumpster fire of a human being. Like Rapinoe, but absurdly racist, instead of a queer, lol…
Same narcissism though, I grant you that.
But yeah, women’s sports are massive, in Australia, at the present moment. At least in the media. Like, absurdly, I can’t even verbalize how absolutely everywhere it is…
Also para sports. I’m just not sure it’s quite at the same “level” for you guys…
But part of that is just because Australians, myself included, are fucking obsessed with sports, more broadly, lol…
But yeah, for context: I would say there is solidly… 12-14 hours a week, of womens sport, on network TV in Aus, right at the moment (excluding the US Open and the cycling)..?
Compared to probably slightly more for mens, but the point still stands.
It’s a massive market here, dude.
He is right. I don’t have problems with female leagues but I think the push back is due to the constant pushing of activism when all people want is sports or with WNBA being told that we are bad people for not watching. But the recent college softball championships had good ratings
