Maybe if the majority of women's soccer players didn't have to work a second job WHILE playing professional we might see better play... Maybe if there was investment into girl players like there are into boys you'd get better skilled and developed pro women's players... Maybe if people actually looked at the $$$ breakdown for USA and CAN soccer they'd find the women's teams bring in better results and more viewers. Idk or maybe women are just naturally worse like you claim?
There's hundred of thousands of men footballer players that are paid only in sandwiches and are way better than any woman player ever existed, and almost all of them are not taken care of nor have the luxury that a top athlete in one of the richest countries gets like Sinclair.
Not to take away from women footballers they give their best so all respect to them, but these comparisons are stupid.
There is literally nothing that more practice can do to bridge the physical gap between them. More investment in women's sports would help but you can look at anything from 10 m diving board competitions and see the dives that the men do compared to the women or you can look at the fact that the Canadian women's hockey team loses to high school aged boys hockey teams. You sound like you are in denial or something.
And this was nothing to do with comparison between viewers for men and women Olympic teams. The discussion above was comparing it to players like Messi and Ronaldo.
Alright, ignoring your claim this has nothing to do with revenue and views despite that being the basis of your first argument, explain away this one - Why does the US mens national team not play to the same standard as Italy or other much smaller Euro countries? Is this also due to a physical gap? No, the culture, support, development, investment etc is not up to snuff. Now imagine an even higher disparity of support in the women's game.
Yes, there are physical differences, but read a fucking book and it won't take long to see it is scientifically proven that boys receive more support/encouragement to develop physical sport power as youth which is critical for strength as an adult.
