Claims women's sport is overlooked and not as popular as men's sport and doesn't know why.

Maybe because it's boring and the women are ugly, she says about getting the same amount of fans as the SPL... The SPL is boring too

Just play sexy girls and more men will watch it, do this: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3725106/Womens-underwear-basketball-competition.html

No problem with the ladies playing football but they can't make me watch it.

Why do we watch/care about sport? I think it's a mixture of having an emotional investment in the history and fate of a team/individual AND/OR watching something that you know is of the very highest standard.

Women's football has neither of those. For better or worse, TV caters to ratings and the print media go for what sells. If there was a thirst for high profile women's football someone would be offering it, knowing it would sell/get ratings.

The whole thing smacks of Athletics demanding a huge stadium that it can neither afford to build nor regularly fill.

Sorry Hope, no mysogynist conspiracies, it's just, no one cares.
