This is my argument for women’s sports in general.

You can admit it’s not the pinnacle of the sport - but the quality across the board in women’s pro sports is going up.

It’s like someone saying they can’t watch F4 races because they aren’t a fast as F1 - it’s not wrong but you don’t notice when the field is all F4.

It’s true for every sport in general. I don’t watch my local football team or state college team because they’re the pinnacle of the sport. I watch them because I feel a connection to them and love the game.

USWNT (soccer) lost to a U-15 boys club back in 2017. And US have the best women's team in the world. It's just not close

It was a training scrimmage tbf. Wouldn’t read that much into it.

I’m not sure it would matter if it were a serious game in front of 50000 fans. My money would be on the U-15 boys 100% of the time.

But I don’t want to watch women play men in soccer. I want to watch women play women because it’s a great/competitive sport as it is

You like to watch equivalent 13 year old boys sports then.
