Is anyone accusing you of sexism?randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 1:10 pm Thats not sexist either so don't pull that card. The truth of it is men tend to be a lot more interested in men's sports than women are in women sports
That said, isn’t there some inherent bias in the way you’re presenting the point? Doesn’t it assume that women’s sports can only gain in market share if women develop affinity levels for women’s sports so as to catch up with men’s affinity levels for men’s sports?
What if men increase their affinity level for women’s sports? This already happens in soccer. I would guess the same is true for tennis and gymnastics and other Olympic sports (figure skating? Downhill sports?).
The NIL market bears this out, too.
My point is: women’s sports are on the ascent. And it doesn’t have to come (1) at the expense of men’s sports, or (2) solely or even primarily out of a change in women’s affinity levels.
