    When Lisa was in middle school she already began towering over everybody at a height of a little over 6 feet. She had no intention of ever playing basketball, and it wasn’t until a classmate begged her to come out for the team, that she actually began playing. When she reached eighth grade she transferred to a school that had no women’s basketball team, so she joined the boy’s team. She not only did very well there, but it boosted her confidence and enhanced her performance. At the age of 14 she started getting hundreds of letters from colleges and universities all around the country, which was before she even entered high school.

    You may just think this is a girl shooting a basketball, but in all actuality it is so much more. This is the first game that the Tulane Women's played in New Orleans after Katrina.

These games are exciting for fans because there are those that cheer for schools that make deep runs into their bracket.

    On November 7, 2015 the Missouri University football team announced they were going on strike until the president of the university stepped down. Two days later on November 9, 2015 the president, Timothy M. Wolfe, and chancellor, R. Bowen Loftin, of the University of Missouri both resigned from their positions. The strike of the football team and resignation of both university leaders were a result of the same issues.

    In dissecting this problem, it becomes evident that the demand for this particular sport is an issue. How many people have a desire to watch this sport, and furthermore are willing to pay a price for this entertainment? The WNBA fan base is slowly declining, and as a result, less money is being generated from the public. Spectators have concluded that the growing audience has been hard to come by for the WNBA, which is apparent by the league’s attendance history. With the WNBA falling short of its male counterpart attendance wise, the WNBA has the lower hand of the deal when it comes to ticket pricing. The WNBA is already put at a disadvantage by having half as many seasonal games as the NBA. The average WNBA ticket price is fifteen dollars as opposed to the average NBA ticket being forty-five dollars. When compared with the attendance rate, the women’s basketball league is struggling tremendously. With people already cutting back expenses from the hardships of the recent recession, this has made the opportunity cost for the less popular women’s ticket drop dramatically. Kyle Weidie in, The WNBA is worth it, states his reasoning on low sales and popularity by stating, “Men’s basketball is more athletically entertaining in contrast to general human athletic capabilities,” which would decrease the demand for women’s basketball. Weidie further states, “not to say women’s basketball is not athletically astounding in its own way, just very small in comparison to a pool of the world’s greatest athletes.” With the differences in athleticism and levels of entertainment, the public’s preferred choice has helped contribute to the economic blow within this organization. Here is a quick representation of the recent 2009 national attendance rate and media coverage.…

    From the early 1600s and ever since the colonists made their way to what would become the Americas, there was significant pressure put on these people to perform. These men and women were on their way to the new land for a variety of reasons, but many were not of high standing in England and were seeking to reach higher. With so much at stake, the colonists had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. And because the conditions were so unknown and inexplicable, when the pressure was harsh, the colonists used emotion and force to get what they wanted. This raw emotion mobilized violent group action that was used in several different ways during the colonization of America.…

    Exposure is an important piece of the puzzle in pushing for equality, not only in the world of basketball, but the world of sports as a whole. Although, the WNBA is steadily climbing as the Forbes list reported “the league welcomed its current president, Laurel J. Richie, known for her marketing acumen, and introduced Boost Mobile as a marquee marketing partner. In 2012, the draft moved to ESPN’s headquarters. In 2013, the WNBA launched a new brand identity, extended its television partnership with ESPN, the "3 To See" rookies gained mainstream attention, and season 17 ended with record growth.” (Glass) The WNBA may not be on the same financial level or branding level as the NBA currently, but the league is now equipped with franchise owners…

    Although women's college basketball in Connecticut is a marvelously entertaining and increasingly popular sport, it is not hard to remember when it was not so popular. Only a few years ago, my friends and I could decide on a Sunday afternoon to go to a women's basketball game at the University of Connecticut, and believe it or not, we could get seats for free near centre court. Of course, that was before names such as Rebecca Lobo, Jennifer Rizzotti, Kara Wolters, and Carla Berube became household words. Lobo's book, HOME-COURT ADVANTAGE, which she wrote with her mother, was a best-seller for a brief time in Connecticut. If more than a couple of hundred fans showed up for a game, it was considered a big turnout, and games were played in practically silent gyms. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to buy tickets to a women's game, and you can't get seats, even in the Civic Centre, unless you know someone…
