It’s tough to get interested in women’s sports in general.
I watched some of the women’s Olympic hockey. Holy shit, were they terrible. You can’t watch the best men in the world and then think that women’s hockey is watchable. Or at least I can’t
Maybe it’s womens team sports.
Individual sports tend to be a little better. I can agree with the individual-type sports (tennis, swimming, downhill skiing, etc.) thing a little more. I think maybe the individual sports competition aspect allows us to focus more on the accomplishment and athleticism of that person rather than consciously comparing the achievements of a top male team versus a top female team. Usually because there's simply no comparison.
That would be especially acute in something like hockey or soccer (football) or basketball or American football or baseball (if women played "hardball" in any appreciable numbers).
