Lately, due to the lack of support for women in sports, I have pretty much tuned out. The "woke" culture has ruined the competition. Who wants to watch a mentally-ill man take the spotlight away from the women/girls who work so hard to compete?  Racism is already taking hold with the emergence of Caitlan Clark coming into the WNBA.  It's a shame the women's sports landscape has become a cesspool and I pray that common sense prevails and this stuff just fades away.

Trying to push a product that is inferior to another product on the market just doesn't work.  Even if all the nonsense went away tomorrow, I still wouldn't watch women's sports.

Two comments in and already this thread is a dumpster fire. One is just repeating tired anti-trans rhetoric, the other thinks employing pseudo-business terminology can mask a general disdain for women.

Lets do better, TCDB. Or, at least, do more to be less of a total cliche.

I actively collect NWSL sets and cards of the Arsenal women's team. I also have a sub collection of women in baseball. Soccer and baseball are my preferred sports, not so much interested in basketball.


-------------------------------

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.

So a jab with a cliche makes it better?

I put not interested, but I should've put somewhat. I will watch F1 Academy (all women drivers) when it's on, and women are often a part of NASCAR weekends. The women in the UFC often put up great fights. With the WNBA now being available on Prime, I may watch a little bit, but probably won't make it a habit. If it's interesting to watch, I'll watch it. Simple as that.

Although I appreciate the skill it takes to play basketball, etc. I didn't grow up with professional women's sports and so don't watch them today.  It's similar to soccer and hockey for me - I totally understand why people are into it, I'm just not one of them.

I put somewhat interested as it is such a general question. If it asked "How interested in sports are you" I would answer the same.

As with all sport, there are some women's sports I really enjoy - cricket foremost - and some I don't.

Funnily, the thread title when viewed on my phone reads as "How interested are you in women'...". If that was the poll I might have to change my answer!

(I knew that can be taken as misogynistic, but I still found it funny.)

I didn't answer the poll because there are some women's sports I do watch and some I don't. Those I watch, I am interested in; those I don't because I am not.

Love sports period.  Men or women.  I try very hard not to compare them because they are certainly different.  I understand but think it is kinda sad that because often times the women arent as over the top athletic as men in many sports that many just will not watch or pay attention.  I guess that is part of the entertainment world we live in.
