🧔🏼‍♂️"No one watches women's sports! If the little girls want to earn as much as manly men, they should get their numbers up! That's just like, economics man!"

But also...

Women's basketball viewership is growing faster than men's basketball, and the most viewed women's game on ESPN this year has *higher* viewership than the most viewed men's basketball game.

All the excuses are falling away. Just like we said that they would.

@mekkaokereke I probably watch more women’s sports than men’s nowadays.

And more in person, too.

The tickets are still more affordable, but that creates this extreme rush where they are *really* hard to get. The games and matches sell out way faster.

A US Women's National Team versus England soccer match ticket is one of the most exclusive tickets in all of sports right now. So hard to get! They sold out Wembley in 15 minutes! For a friendly! Total pre-sale was under 24hrs.🤯

It's still affordable for local teams (e.g. NWSL), but that might not last.

The Oct. 7 friendly between the U.S. women’s national team and England has sold out. Fans reported issues amid the high demand for tickets.

@mekkaokereke We’re Thorns annual members, and so far the prices are alright. I don’t anticipate that to last forever.
