I would very much appreciate it if as many of you as possible could fill this out and repost it with your answers in this discussion as this will help me to get a good view of public opinions on gender and sports from a wide variety of age/type or person/ etc

Do you think that sports are currently fair in general to genders?
Yes / No / Maybe / Not Sure yes
Why? _______________________________________________
In most places there is an equiolent team for women to play on. People will argue that on a professional level men make much more than women. However, that is due to the fans (consummer). Professional sports are viewed as entertainment in this country. If more people watched women's sports more revenue would be generated and saleries would go up.
Do you prefer watching men or women playing sports?
Women / Men / Either / Neither / Unsure Neither
Why? _____________________________________________
Some sports are better to watch women - like tennis
Do you think either gender performs better in sport?
