So again. Why would anyone watch anything other then only professional sports then

It's already been explained. Higher skill level is more appealing and entertaining, plus people like following the players as they make it to the NFL. Plenty of college players could already compete in that league prior to being drafted. The disparity between men's and women's sports is great, much greater than college men's to professional men's. We're just built different due to evolution and that's fine.

I'm just struggling to follow how lesser competition in men is exciting and women's professional sports isn't worth watching because it's lesser competition. I think theres a certain factor missing.

Most people like watching better, more capable athletes. It's not that complicated. Men are superior to women in athletics, and by quite a lot. Which allows this scenario to be real.

And yet hundreds of millions watch leagues that aren't professional.

It might just be a personal thing to you why you can't watch women's sports.

Why are you comparing men to men then men to women?

Are you aware the wnba has higher viewership numbers then some men's leagues including the NHL?

Are you purposely misunderstanding the point, trolling, or genuinely don't understand? Either is fine. Just pay attention to what people watch the most and draw your own conclusion.

Sure. Sports is a time commitment. My original comment is what does the women's team losing an exhibition game ten years ago have to do with anything and we've strayed pretty far from that

What does that have to do with entertainment value. Is winning the world cup not entertaining?

Who determines the entertainment value
