[QUOTE="85Escape, post: 791452, member: 3560"] When I hear complaints about the fact that men's sports generate more revenue than women's sports, I always encourage the complainer to stop it with the victim mentality. The truth is, for now at least, the numbers clearly show that men are more devoted to sports and will spend more of their time and energy (and money) to be observers. That fact that men enjoy men's sports more is pretty evident, and I don't think it is sexist behavior at all. That would be like complaining that women enjoy women as the stars on morning talk shows. So given that, women in sports need to find a way to connect more with their audience and create a compelling reason to watch. If they want to target men, what is it they need to do to get their attention (Beach Volleyball seems to have figured it out :rolleyes:). If they want to have more women willing to waste three hours to watch a soccer match, what do they need to do to get their eyeballs on the screen? Maybe make it more of a social event... You do that and the money will follow. It isn't really that complicated and all the blame-shifting is really destructive as it prevents us from overcoming the reality that is driving the situation. Now, the NCAA should not be so stupid with the clear bias towards the revenue sports. But also the non-revenue sports need to understand how much of their opportunity comes from those evil *tards who get all the glory. EDIT: Because I'm an engineer and can't grammar./ [/QUOTE]
