The commercialization of sports has historically favored the male “aesthetic” of power and speed, but the definition of what makes a sport “watchable” is evolving. Many fans now point to the “technicality” and “teamwork” often found in women’s sports as a refreshing alternative to the “hero-ball” or pure physical dominance seen in some men’s leagues. In women’s soccer, for instance, because the players cannot rely solely on outrunning their opponents through raw pace, there is often a greater emphasis on tactical positioning, precise passing, and creative playmaking. This creates a different, more strategic viewing experience that many purists of the game find more engaging.
