Good article in The Times today.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? There is zero question that women in sports make far less than their male counterparts. The question is: How do we get more investment in women's sports? And the counter-questions we hear are: is the "product" in a place to create the demand? _______________ So, let's look at some recent numbers: - Women's Championship game: 18.9 million viewers > Men's Championship game: 14.8 million viewers - WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) game this past Sunday drew a crowd of 6,842 fans to see Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever take on the Chicago Sky. Compare this to the NBA, which drew an average of 18,300 fans per game. - The PWHL (Professional Women's Hockey League) drew an average of 5,448 fans and also had a record-breaking 21,500 fans at the Montreal vs. Toronto game. Compare this to the National Hockey League (NHL), which averaged 17,759 fans per game. _______________ Takeaway: The draw for men's sports is stronger than for women's sports. However, the gap is closing—and quickly. _______________ In business, the time to invest is early in the growth trajectory following proof of concept. Women's sports have clearly achieved the proof of concept by drawing fans across all sports. The growth trajectory is very strong. _______________ As a leader in business, I would invest in the game that has fully hatched and is growing. Oh, before I forget, the egg came before the chicken. Look it up. Let's go! #cultureFIRSTleadership #womenINsport #TitleNine
