It's truly amazing to think about how dominant our women's soccer team is on the world stage and how utterly irrelevant professional women's soccer is in this country.

I have nothing against it, but no desire to watch it. I don’t even know how it makes any money?

Women’s pro soccer has to be pretty far down the sports mountain in the U.S.

As are all women's sports. The closest thing is the WNBA and that only survives because it's sugar daddy the NBA subsidizes it. I have zero issue with any women's professional sport, but clearly the US has little interest in watching it outside of the Olympics or World Cup.

Now if this team were smart they would wait till Brittany got married and named their field the Brittany Mahomes field. That is easy marketing.

In thinking about it, I bet owning a women's professional soccer team is like buying an inkjet printer. The entry price is really low, but the operating costs are the rub.
