Rounds points out that professional men's sport teams grab all the attention by the fans and media. I believe the lack of support from the fans and media is a huge loss for women's sport teams. Bill Byrne, the organizer of the WPBL, quotes, "Exposure is the bottom word," (Byrne, 44). Byrne believes television will make the difference with the support of professional women's teams. I also believe that more television exposure will aid in the result of full arenas and total support for the women teams. Television exposure will only help to a certain extent. There are other factors hurting the support of women's sport teams in the United States.

Rounds brings up the point that the lack of financial support goes far beyond economics. Sexual bias and homophobia cause the lack of financial support. The physiological advantage of sports gives men power, which they are afraid to lose to women. Rounds says that most men fear physically strong women, and due to their intimidation men often down grade masculine women. My perspective is that men believe women are inferior to them when it comes to the subject of sports. Men need to realize that it is possible that an athletic woman has a chance at defeating him at his own game.

Men have never been huge supporters for women's team sports. Everyone has their own opinions of why men support women in provocative uniforms. Rounds brings up the idea of men supporting women playing beach volleyball, which the women play wearing bikinis, but men do not even acknowledge women playing traditional volleyball. I agree with Kate Rounds; most men support women sport teams in provocative uniforms. Rounds includes in her essay that more people support women in mud-wrestling and watch women take on other women on, a popular television spectacle, American Gladiators more frequently than women's traditional team sports. The attraction obviously has something to do with the uniforms (Rounds, 43). Rounds believes the uniforms that the women wear play a very important role in gaining team support. I understand what Rounds
