Not enough PC responses mourning the loss of a WUSS product for your liking?
Face it, the only reason why 3/4 of the womens' sports leagues exist is because--
1. Colleges have to have women sports or face gender discrimination suits. Universities have had to make choices about carrying a football team (in most cases a revenue source) or a women's field hockey or soccer team (not huge draws, even after 3 decades of PCism).
2. The shrill voices in the "diversity is strength" crowd have convinced the media that women's sports are equal to or better than men's sports. The SF Chronicle shows as many or more photos of women athletes. The problem is the public is not as gullible as the diversity crowd or the media would have us believe. People stay away. Why watch the WNBA when you can watch Tim Duncan? Why watch women's soccer when you can watch Beckham? One at bat by Barry Bonds or a two hitter by Pedro Martinez is worth a lifetime of women's softball.
3.The NBA, NFL, and MLS have all subsidized women's leagues with millions upon millions of dollars, but the fish ain't biting. Women's sports leagues are not money makers. No one wants them to succeed more than the people who are pumping $$$$$$$ into them. Take that lifeline away and the leagues fold like a cheap suit.
But here is the single biggest reason that womens' sports leagues invariably fail--
Most women don't care to watch other womens' athletic events. If they did, the leagues would survive.
