13428194, Golf is tricky.. because its not as physical

and I dont care about Gold at all until Tiger so that could be part of it. The best women golfers are usually Asian these days too which could be part of the problem with viewership and attendance.

If we had more Black and mixed women in golf maybe viewership would improve.

which brings me to Women’s tennis. That shit is popular. Really popular. Fun to watch and has some real stars in the game.

....

so yes, I think it does come down to the physical with women’s basketball. I’ve watched a lot of college ball but not the WNBA. Sometimes womens ball reminds me of Ivy league basketball. Fundamentals on point but just not as exciting most of the time vs more athletic ball like the mens game.

and yes, game above the rim is definitely a prime reason women’s basketball isn’t as popular. Back when women first started dunking we would tune in JUST to see if it would happen with certain players.
