US comedian and television host Whoopi Goldberg is launching the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN), a new 24/7 global women’s sports channel.
Confirmed: AWSN will be available in 65 countries with a US launch in the offing
The network will show action from properties such as the Uefa Women’s Nations League, the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour and the International Basketball Federation (Fiba) 3×3 Women’s Series
Channel is currently distributed by Etisalat’s eLife streaming service in the Middle East, as well as by India’s JioTV and Philippines-based platform Jungo Pinoy Goldberg has partnered with Chicago-based hospital chain CommonSpirit to launch the network
During a recent appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Goldberg revealed that the idea to launch the AWSN came to her 16 years ago. She said that the network would show every sport that women are playing, with a mix of live and delayed broadcasts of games to be offered.
It joins other women’s sport focused broadcasting ventures including former ESPN executive Carol Stiff’s Women’s Sports Network and the Europe-based W-Sport, which is backed by Setanta Sports founder Mickey O’Rourke.
“Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to play sports,” Goldberg said on The Tonight Show. “My brother could play. He played baseball, he played softball, he played basketball, he played everything And they would say, ‘Oh, hi little girl.’
“It always pissed me off. So, for years, I’ve been talking to people and saying, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could go around the world, start getting young athletes in high school so that we can grow with them and grow up with them?”
“I feel like that will help us show that athletics — when they’re done brilliantly — it doesn’t matter who’s doing it. We don’t really have that relationship to women’s sports.”
Not this time.
I’d say more than 50%.
Yes. If she truly believes the crap she spews, at least half of the players should be pretend women. The other half of players will have to toughen up to suffer the blows.
she gonna let trannies in there?
What is a woman though?
Billie Jean King was a female tennis player was fun to watch.
She divorced her husband and married some woman. Yuk
But that doesn’t detract from her tennis record before that
Will Caren’s network include dudes in women’s sport?
A> will it include trans women…
Of course it will. Whoopi isn’t gonna want to be seen as transphobic I’m sure.
Real women or fake “loppedoffdick” women?
This will lose many millions of dollars. I hope she is on the hook to investors and not just putting her name on it.
good she’s super woke, gonna be super broke.
Just the other night, I watched “What Is A Woman? by Matt Walsh...it was astonishingly good, though...alternately horrifying and hilarious!
We watched that, and “Am I Racist?” Just cutting...and funny! Recommend them both.
may it be completely dominated by men
Track & Field also, but I don’t have the patience to post photos.
Beach volleyball will rule. The others . . . .
Lingerie football, Whoopster! You’re gonna love it, trust me.
I think she should have consulted with Bill Burr first.
“Go, Strong Woman, Go!”
Luck is for dudes!
I suggest whatshername check with President Donald J. Trump and see what He thinks about it.
