Dumbass,

It has nothing to do with relative competition or depth of field. It
has to do with media impressions and TV ratings. It doesn't matter how
good the women basketball players in the WNBA get...they will never make
the millions the men in the NBA make because they don't have the TV
contracts the NBA has.

Women are decades behind every men's sport except for tennis and perhaps
golf.

Swimming, gymnastics, figure skating, mud wrestling, ...

OMG, you left off wet T-shirt contests!!

(and mud wrestling females only win against men in team format, i.e.
teams of women against single men).

FYI

None of those are professional sports with sustainable income (except perhaps
mud wrestling).

Thanks,

Dumbass,

Figure skating is. Swimming and gymnastics have endorsement
opportunities, slim though they may be.

I'd never watch women's beach volleyball if they wore baggy shorts and
jerseys.

But I'd still watch women's tennis if they went back to the old school
tennis dresses. Just not very often.

Most men would only watch women's tennis if the skirtline continues stays near
their crotch.
