With the advent of Libby Lenton's 51.91 WR in the 100m free. I propose a swim off and battle of the sexes.
Paul "the evil" Smith (45) representing Bobby Riggs
vs.
Libby Lenton (20) as Billie Jean King.
My money rests on the female.

...Bottom line - there is no money in women's athletics.
Great quote, and unfortunately you are right on most counts. A few sports I would throw out to you that I think are more interesting in Women's rather than men's:
Tennis
Gymnastics (If they are older than 16, the young ones "Creep me out" also)
Figure Skating
Diving (Could be a toss up here)
I'm sure there are a few others that I am forgetting right now. But I guess you might say the more "Finesse" sports are better spectated with women rather than men. I know tennis is not "Finesse", but men's tennis is completely boring today compared to Pete vs. Andre or Ivan vs. Jimmy.
P.S. Women are much more fun to watch in other "sports" but I don't even want to mention those here, totally unappropriate! :D
