Answer 1

I don't agree. The U.S. media generally cover women's athletics well.

Answer 2

I agree. As uneven as it is, men's sports at all levels seem to be dominant in the U.S. media, from Little League through pro sports. I believe the reason for this comes down to money. Ads! Think about (or research) how much money companies pay for ads during the Super Bowl. Colleges and universities depend on income from football far more than from any other endeavor.

I wish our media treated men's and women's sports equally, but they don't.

Answer 6
