You compared the ratings one sporting event received against the ratings another sporting event received on a different channel.

They're both fruit. ESPN chose to eat the WNBA's apple and rejected BYU's orange. Contrary to your speculation, America's Sport's Leader has found that the WNBA deliver's higher ratings.

WNBA is on ESPN. BYU is not. ESPN makes their money off of television ratings. The higher the better. That should be sufficient for this discussion.

I agree with this post. I'm no fan of the WNBA, but I do agree that the size of BYU's national fan base is mythical.

I would, if I thought it would help. Unfortunately I think your sexism is a spiritual disease.

Fine. If you'd like to end this discussion with an unsubstantiated fact, that's okay by me.

To what are you referring? My assertion that you are a sexist, which you admitted. Or is it my assertion that the WNBA is on ESPN and BYU is not, which is also true.
