Bjorn,

I don't think your WNBA or LPGA analogies are apt at all. In those sports men are far more compelling to watch because they are so much stronger than their female counterparts.

A much better analogy is pro beach volleyball - the men are still stronger but the quality of play is very close. Also, like Homer pointed out, the rallies tend to be longer and more intriguing due to the lack of overpowering strength.

I'm not trying to force an agenda here, I do enjoy them both, but do consider the quality of play between the genders to be a lot closer than the other sports you brought up.
