[quote:Anonymous Coward 76821914:MV80MDIxODY1XzcyODI1NzIzX0M4NjYwNjc4] I partly agree. Look what happened to the CWHL. Women's sport isn't generating the viewership or revenue required to keep things running strong, especially in team sports. If a 'professional' women's team can be beaten by a high school team, then there certainly is an issue. Bit of a shame really as I enjoy watching women's sport (mainly ice hockey) at an international level. Women's individual sports such as MMA are worth the watch (when it actually is a woman that is).

Why do women complain that women's sports get less funding ?
Women's sports get less funding, because it gets less viewership and less attendance.
Why would I want to see a sprinter, who can be beaten by a decent jogger ?
A so called professional baseball player, who can be beaten by a decent high school player ?
A professional boxer, who can be beaten by some dude out of a krav maga program ?
An LPGA CHAMPION golf player, who comes in LAST in a season game in the PGA ?
If I'm going to watch sports...
Why would I want to see what actually is 3rd or 4th best, being called a champ..
Why wouldn't I want to see the best ?
