The newspaper coverage here in the US of women's sport is awful. The <i>New York Times</i> doesn't even bother to send reporters to the New York Liberty's (women's basketball) away games, relying on scanty AP reports. The description of home games where they do bother is not much better than the AP coverage. I'll agree that the TV coverage is better. Some women's basketball games are televised. But in the US they have so many TV stations that they televise every known sport in all variations from preschool up! You’re kidding, right?

And how much better it is than the men's? Very, very few. Women's sport in Australia (and here in the US) with the exception of tennis and the Olympics gets bugger all coverage. I suspect the picture is similar in the UK. Drives me insane. Here's hoping the English women get some decent press coverage out of it.
