Watch out ESPN...

This is good news. But I wonder if ironically it runs the risk of further compartmentalizing women's sports, as now even the bigger events may just be broadcast on this channel, and limit larger exposure. Though I'm sure lots of events that aren't getting attention now will receive some.

I'd most men and woman don't watch it on the format it's on now, is the hope that if it's all centralized it would be seen more?

If I had access to all gymnastics competitions, even at the college level, I’d be thrilled.

What league is between college and Olympic gymnastics?

good, maybe some of the women that complain about women not making enough money ACTUALLY F'ING WATCH because we know they don't go to the damn games. I

no one is going to watch, this has been proven over 25 years. I hope i'm wrong as I have a daughter, but no one comes out to support these girls on almost any level except the US women's soccer team. Their pro sports leagues might sell 1,000 tickets to a big game though and I've been to a few. The WNBA is the only study case you need

This is probably for the best. Now instead of competing directly for airtime with men’s sports, they just compete internally.

Wonder if it will be kept afloat by subsidies despite not actually making money. (Looking at you WNBA)

Great. Now they just need someone to watch it.

In general people don't go to games to support individual players. They go because they like to watch the game on the field/pitch/court/ice, and perhaps the atmosphere.

That's fair and true. There is no atmosphere at the games because no one goes and the overall talent level is obviously much lower. If you go to a high level girl's soccer game for 16-18 year olds there is a ton of talent and it is fun to watch. It's just not the same as the 16-18 year old boys playing. It's not their fault or anything, just is what it is

I wonder if it will have the same success as the WNBA.
