Equal-opportunity sportscasting
I think we cover women's sports pretty adequately on this show. It's never enough for some viewers, but that's pretty universal- no one ever thinks their favorite sport or favorite team gets enough attention. I get it. But I'm trying to maintain a balance here, between what the majority of our audience wants to see, and how we can make interesting that which they don't care to.
Hence, my dilemma with showing myself on camera.
We're staunch proponents of women's sports here on the morning show. Beach volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling- any time we can find a local angle in any of these sports, we'll show hilites. If the Sky had a game the previous night, we'll show the hilites; if the Sky had a game 3 nights ago, we won't show hilites. If a female golfer wins a tournament, we might show hilites; if a female golfer wins a tournament and then jumps in a big pond on the course, we'll definitely show hilites.
(Do you see what I mean about striking that balance?)
I recently got an e-mail from someone who's satisfied with our coverage of the Chicago Sky, but naturally wants more. Again, I understand. It's the last part of her e-mail that has me confused.
