Why are there at least 6 men's college basketball games on my TV and zero women's games?
Oh wait.. I know.
Seriously... we saw with the WNBA and NWSL this summer.
If you show women's sports, people will watch!
This is the first time women’s rugby will be shown at prime time, on a mainstream free broadcast channel, equal to the men.
Every broadcaster who has previously given airtime to women’s rugby is part of this success.

Any chance @BBCSport can create a separate page for misogynistic men’s football fans? I have no interest in reading their 18th century comments or talking as if men’s football is the only version of the sport. I appreciate those who can’t accept equality, but I have 0 time for it
