Did
you watch the Louisville Cardinals defeat the Michigan Wolverines as their
fallen teammate Kevin Ware criticized their mistakes and cheered their
successes? Most of America did watch the game that is already being called one
of the greatest ever. On the following night, did you watch the women from
Louisville fall to the Connecticut Huskies? Probably not. The game didn’t have
the drama of Ware sitting in a wheelchair, but Geno Auriemma and the Huskies
tied Pat Summitt and Tennessee for the most wins in women’s basketball history.
And the difference in attention to the sports doesn’t end there. On
playgrounds, crowds gather to watch boys play basketball. On average, 20,000
fans attend NBA games while WNBA teams draw around 7,000. Did you ever stop to
think about why people find Men’s basketball more interesting than Women’s?
Well, throughout my paper I’m going to explore how men’s and women’s basketball
differ and how that affects fan interest.
Good to see you are posting work again on your capstone project, Quamari. From what I understand you are saying is that you think women play basketball more as a team but men play basketball more as individuals. Why do you think that is? I went to your softball game yesterday, and I noticed that the women played this sport "differently" than men, too. I enjoyed watching (even though you weren't there???)and stayed for the entire game because it was fun to be a spectator.
