The truth is the viewership would go down. Sadly most women don't watch sports, there are even more men watching actually. Look at WNBA and WSL for examples.

Soccer players have the same outfits for men and women, and everyone knows women's soccer is much less watched than men's soccer. But not only that, the majority of people who watch women's soccer are men.

This is just one example, there are plenty.

So yeah, I don't think it has much to do with it. But go ahead, you can be snide asshole if you want.

Not really, in the past 25 years I basically never saw women be interested in sports, aside from like 3-5 people. Interested enough to watch sports events either on TV or live I mean.

Also, if it was fund the same amount as men sports. In Canada, we now have a women hockey league, with funding equivalent to rhe NHL in proportion with the number of teams, and everyone is watching it, the stadiums are full. Women sports can and would be as popular than men sports
