Message: [QUOTE="guards98, post: 5244665, member: 8713"] The point is that those fans don't exist not because there aren't plenty of Syracuse fans or even Syracuse basketball fans specifically - it's that the majority of fans take men's basketball seriously and do not do the same for women's, despite them being level in terms of results for quite some time now. I know it's not something anyone wants to hear, least of all on the fan messageboard populated by the few people actually paying attention, but there's an element of misogyny at play there. People look for reasons to tune out from the women's team, while they give the men's team a far larger benefit of the doubt. "That sucked, see you next game lol" vs "That sucked, I'll watch when they actually show something." And before anyone says that it's the shorter height and lack of dunks in the women's game - I don't think lowering the rim to 9' would suddenly see the teams drawing equal crowds. [/QUOTE]
