OK! So we should REQUIRE that the same number of people watch Girl’s rowing as do football? Imagine limiting the Notre Dame football stadium to 5 people for a game (of course after this season that may be a target crowd).

WNBA players should be paid the same as NBA players? TV time should be EQUAL for men and women’s sports? How about the announcers? Why stop at locker room facilities? Geez

How about the announcers?

It's bad enough that now on ESPN they have women announcing football games.

Here in Minnesota, where High School Hockey is big, big, big, the Boy’s high school hockey tournamnet was held in the Excel Energy Center, where the pro hockey team, the Wild, plays. The arena is packed.

The firl’s tournament was held at a different site, the crowds (more correctly, lack of crowds) didn’t justify the expense of renting the big arena. Lawyers and the courts got involved, complaining about the in-equality, and you can guess what happened next.

200 people watching hockey games in an arena that holds 15,000. Nincompoops.
