Most people don't care about female sports. People want to see the best athletes. Let's take baseball. How many show up at a minor league game? Some, but a tiny fraction of what a MLB would bring in. There are about 25,000 women attending every night at a Dodgers game. It's not that women or men are not interested in sports, but they want to see the best athlete perform.
I remember when University of Nebraska had a promotion. They gave away free bacon to any male that came and watched the female sports event. Still nobody showed up.
Now will there be a limited about of interest in any athletic event. Sure. I've got two daughters who have competed in gymnastics, basketball ( the fan attendance for the boys teams were about 10 times the girl games) cross country, and volleyball. They were both Junior Olympic swimmers. But beyond the families involved, hardly anybody would show up to view these activities.
Regarding the sport on this thread, I think that the Hope Solo assaults on her family members turned a good many away from the topic of women's soccer.
Maybe , I know mr Vick’s *ullsh*t soured me a bit on the NFL. But are you going to categorically shun an entire entertainment genre when you discover a criminal or unsavory individual that one might think the associated industry didn’t punish enough ? There won’t be much left [emoji1782]. We could all do with making more of our own entertainment though.
