I still like you. She... well if she met you in person she would probably be OK. But she turned red. Does not usually do that.

There are virtually no sponsors or interest in womans sports. I hate to say it but the only reason that there is any exposure is because the NCAA and NBA have forced ESPN to cover it by packaging it with their mens sports. Did you see the crowds at the womens regionals? Sparse at best. Dismal at worst. The WNBA was a bad idea that is totally financed by the NBA. They give away tickets just to get anybody there. Many NBA teams force you to buy the WNBA tickets if you want to buy season tickets.
Womans tennis is one of the few to be able to stand alone as a sport with some interest. I guess golf has a following too.
Watching womans basketball for me is not an option. I tried to watch the WNBA when it first came out. It is just like watching bad high school teams. Except you know the high school players will get better. I do watch womans tennis some.
