    4 Goal Medals?

    Women sports in general struggle with attendance and ratings. The best sport with high views for women is Tennis I would say.

    Probably you will have to rephrase this question to, "Why is the USA of america ignoring the achievements of its women's Basketball staff" rather then your negative ebonics structure?

    Because its womens basketball. Thats simple. People don't care about women's basketball much, hence, the WNBA doesn't have nearly a fraction of the following of the NBA. Most people don't know the players well, since they don't follow women's basketball.

    In all honesty because its Women's basketball..... when it comes to sports they are still 2nd to men in coverage, hype, media attention, ect.... It may not be politically correct to say it... but its the truth

    Like everyone else said. Male athletes > female athletes. Except in volleyball. Mmmmmm. But yeah, they're not as fun to watch, which is why their ratings are always so low.
