SWAT Native wrote "It may be sexist, but I've always believed that the league would be more popular with men if the women playing were more attractive. Just as a lot of women (and probably some gay men) like sports because they find the male players attractive." Doubt it. Women like high-paid, high status male athletes with the emphasis on pay and status. The most handsome but worst player will never register for women. Not so for men. As long as the woman it hot, it's no matter whether she's the best of worst player. That's the human mating game. Men will feel some attraction to pretty much every woman, and muscular female athletes really don't fall into that "pretty much" category. Fun to try once, but don't take them home to mom.
