re: Would any of you have an interest in a pro softball league for women started by MLB?

Its going to happen...maybe not affiliated with MLB but probably will be. The media, especially sports media, has been playing up softball for about 3 years...it is obvious what the end result is. They talk about the energy in the crowd and on the field and how the game is fast paced and such an enjoyable experience for fans...it has all of the elements required to be fantastically entertaining. The only area in television where advertising is still being sold is in live sports...and the networks are clamoring for more and more live sports....combine it with women playing (the WNBA is a joke because the NBA and basketball in general is a joke, no one is interested) and it is the perfect answer to sell shite like beer, insurance and vehicles.

I got caught up in it and watched about 3 innings of UGA FSU about a week or so ago. It was almost as energetic and entertaining as watching paint dry but not as intriguing as watching grass grow....but it will get a major push and the pundits will extoll the virtues and it may well make it. It never pays to bet against what Americans will waste their time watching on TV....
