Much as I admire any professional sporswoman and the sheer guts, sacrifice and dedication it takes to excel in sport .I find (as a spectacle ) most women's sport a total pile of crack,no matter how much money and " let's pretend it's important" media spin ,imo women's sport by en large is an steaming unpolishable turd, with horrific stand alone attendances and propped up huge corporate sponsorship and attendant TV tie ins.

The one exception being the Olympics where people get behind everyone competing for their country.

Women's sport. A complete waste of time and money.

I've watched a bit of Women's cricket in the past couple of years (including the new regional T20 competition). I find that pretty good to watch, I wouldn't like to have bowled at that Ms Beaumont myself in a T20 game.
International women's rugby is pretty good to watch as well (not just because I like to watch big girls bashing each other).
I don't like watching even high level women's footy though, the standard is just too far behind even local level men's footy.
Women's hockey isn't bad either, brave lasses playing that game.

There are exceptions, mrhungry, although beach volleyball is the next thing to soft porn.
