Why do you think female sports have a hard time attracting and sustaining viewers?

A few women's sports do well, such as golf and tennis. But as a whole, the industry is suffering.

most women aren't into sport as men. And the women that say they love sports dont love it to the degree as a man would. Following stats, reading on games, watching news about sports, creating fantasy football teams, its just not the same. I think a lot of women say they do because its a cool personality trait to have..i guess its more desired by men to have a chick with balls.

Seldomnly or when there is a event to watch a sport (e.g. hockey) im really saying "oooo i hope they get into a fight!" women sports are predictable and bland.

Honestly, because it's boring. I played basketball all throughout grade school, high school, and college. I enjoyed playing it but having to watch it sometimes, I wish someone would shoot me. I have male friends who have said the same. There are cases where people do enjoy watching women in sports simply because they're gorgeous women & not because of what's going on and the talent being presented.

It's purely because of their inferior physical capabilities on average. A professional women's game of football is essentially the same as watching a high school male football game. For this reason, people prefer to watch male sports which require strength and accuracy.

As soon as I figure out a way to make superhumans, people will prefer to watch them in football opposed to regular humans.

Football is just an example, please do not get all caught up in thinking I was referring to one sport only.

Then again if human teams actually manage to compete with said super humans, they might gain a pretty big fan base due to representing the normal humans.

Good point

Probably because most see the mens equivalent as more entertaining. For example, around here the highest male hockey league is the biggest sports league in the country, while the female equivalent isn't nearly as successful. I can sort of see the point though, since I've multiple times watched a match in both leagues and overall, found the mens one more entertaining.

Because it's boring. Females aren't as strong as males. Therefore, their sports aren't going to be as exciting. The only time it gets interesting is when they're really hot...like Anna Kournikova or Maria Sharapova

Ladies sports are more boring to watch in general.
I know for women's basketball there are less tricks.

Because they have lot less actions than men sport do.
