Honest question, which women's sports are better than their male counterparts...

...to watch.
Can't choose based on sexist (or perceived sexist) criteria
I think I could make the argument I prefer women's soccer and hockey more.
I think women soccer players are tougher than men soccer players a lot of time and you don't see all the flopping shite.
I think women's soccer and hockey is much more team oriented and is easier to watch. You don't see nearly as much of people dribbling into traps and and shite. Women's hockey doesn't have all that machismo bullshite that's in men's hockey. All that fighting and egregious fouling is prima donna bs and I don't appreciate it one bit.
Also, I think the argument could be made that for both sports, you can fundamentally play the game the same way unlike in basketball.

I enjoy watching our back-to-back championship softball team more than our annually choking baseball team.

Women's tennis for sure. The men's game has much less rallying because of the power men have and the difficulty of returning serves.

softball, gymnastics
Posted on 7/6/15 at 5:39 pm to athenslife101
women's tennis is better because they actually break serve

Gymnastics and figure skating and that's basically it.

Gymnastics

I'd rather watch a women's tennis match than men's. Ditto swimming, volleyball, gymnastics, for obvious reasons.
As far as performance on the field, there's just not any sport where women are better, although men and women compete equally in equestrian events, and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't in shooting sports and archery.
Women may have a theoretical advantage in ultra endurance running and swimming events, because of the extra body fat. So far it hasn't translated into better times than men, but we'll see where it goes.

At the college level I think softball is more entertaining than baseball b/c it is faster paced with more action.
Tennis and soccer I enjoy about the same for men and women. As others have said you get a little more variety in tennis compared to the men, and the women flop/dive less than the men.

The only reason I could think anyone would list soccer is because the diving. The men's game is so much better in terms of athleticism and skill.
Posted on 7/6/15 at 5:46 pm to athenslife101
None.

Forgot volleyball and gymnastics. Am probably forgetting others. Don't know enough about tennis.

Because I get frustrated watching the men's soccer because they play stupid and arrogant much to often.

I enjoy college softball far more than college baseball. Probably for the same reasons you gave, but I still like watching it

Womens soccer isnt but it's much closer to the mens than something like basketball
