A very striking article to read! I couldn't help but think the rallying cry for advocates pushing more women's focused documentaries and replays on ESPN networks to focus on cornhole as the high tension point. I noticed seven mentions of cornhole in the article! I once remember a time where ESPN2 sometimes aired top-level women's billiards matches on sunday mid-mornings and early afternoons proceeding Baseball Tonight. They should bring billiards back for the education of fans to the brilliance of women's billiards players such as Allison Fisher. I've linked a video about one major tournament back in 2011 with a kick-ass opening musical segment. Lastly, a question: How critical for you is that the NWSL is the first team sport back from the pandemic break? Could this provide a new, constant stream of passionate fans that might have been missing pre-virus?
