    How come nobody watches the Women's World Cup?
    The men's World Cup is easily the biggest sporting event in the world. All the countries place importance on it on par with any thing else in their entire lives. Whatever happens makes the front page of every single newspaper. It makes ridiculous money and literally billions of people watch the games.

    In contrast, no country outside of the US cares even a lick about the women's version. It routinely loses millions of dollars, games are not even shown on cable TV in many countries and games are played at half empty stadiums.

    Why such a huge difference? It's still the same sport.

      This batch of women have also been getting more and more political.

      Sports is suppose to be an escape. If they keep it up ratings will be down even in the US for the next cup.

            There would be a lot more interest if they played naked. They'd get more women watching that's for sure.

                  The same reason why nobody watches men's beauty pageants.

                          Lingerie Football was great until they managed to f@ck that up.
