Good point. I see the same in all sports, from basketball on down. Track and gymnastics might be the exceptions (and, of course, synchronized swimming).

If people don't watch, then the sponsors don't get their audience, so there's no money in it. So, really, if we're going to blame anyone for the discrimination, we have to blame the general viewership.

At least, that's how I see it, however unfair (and based in ignorance) it may be.
