Chuck,

I actually agree with you on most of what you say. I am a big proponent of girls and boys playing on separate nights. It has nothing to do with equality when people in general do not care about your sport. People watch the NBA, not the WNBA. People watch the Men's NCAA Final Four, not the Women's NCAA Final Four. Officials dream of doing the Men's Final Four, not necessarily the Women's Final Four. If people enjoyed the Girl's and Women's game as much, then the ratings, attentance and the attention would be on the Women's side. Just look at the Tennis Tour. The Women get all the attention and I guess any none tennis fan could probably name 5 players on the WTA. I know I could not answer 5 on the Men's Tennis Tour. And I also know that I cannot name 5 WNBA All-Stars.

My point is, just because you build it does not mean they will come. Just because you make it availible, does not mean they will come either. I live near a town that has the Cubs and the White Sox, people go to the Cubs and no one goes to the White Sox, no matter where the both teams are playing or where they are playing. The only time I have ever seen where Girl's teams get the attendance is when they win. When they win, they come. When they lose or are average, they do not.

Just an opinion.

Peace
