Does anybody scan the crowd at an NFL/AFL game? I think that the fun that begins early in the morning of game day is shared just as "party hardy" by women at Tailgate time. Women know and root for their favorite players and wear the players hats, jerseys and jackets in a great show of support. I also think it is great that Pro Football is wearing'Pink" during October as a show of support & recognition for
Breast Cancer Awareness. Please be sure to get a regular checkup and mammogram, Gloria

As a male viewer, I'm all for it! I think that ESPN, ESPN2 and other networks don't have enough room for women sports, since they want that perfect male demographic. This way ESPN for Women can show the WNBA games, the women's college basketball games and other women themed sports programming without having to struggle with their big cousin on those big networks and trying to get on Sportscenter and that catchy iconic theme song that opens the show.

Certainly not anything I'm interested in as a guy. If it works for women, perfect. Have no problem with women sportscasters and side line reporters IF THEIR GOOD. However, it seems this year there's a ton of pretty, fluff, women who have no business being involved in a sports cast. The man and woman do the chitty chat thing and it's obvious it's uncomfortable for both. Your good, you fit in, be there, man or woman. Otherwise your making a mockery of the whatever sport your covering.

I think this is a terrible idea!! It's basically telling women that
mens' sports are to good for them. I'm a girl and i love sports. I
know just as much about football and baseball as the next guy does. So
if ESPN wants to do this then do it. I'm just saying that I will never
watch it.

Whose idea was this? I'm a 62YO woman who does watch ESPN. I also watch MLB network. If espnW is aimed at the 18-34 demographic, what does that say about women my age? That we don't watch sports? That we don't exist?

I probably won't bother with espnW. I don't require a separate women-only "niche" for my sports interests.

I think it's a great idea. Give them their own channel and let women's sports and sportcasters rise or fall on their own merit -- and ratings. But please, PLEASE don't force them into broadcast roles that are gratuitous and silly. The sideline bimbos HAVE to go. The beauty queen co-anchors are ludicrous. Sure, there are some outstanding women sports figures (Linda Cohn comes to mind), but some of the others...just perfect for ESPNw!!!

it's about time . now espn can take all the politically correct , affirmitive action token bimbos off the real sports telecasts and give them their own channel for their inane , cue-carded , powder puff questiions and observations. espn can now also move all those girls' sports in whose only interest comes from alumni , parents , and girlfriends . good riddance to the erin andrews of the world .

The only way this works is if they show LOTS of womens beach volley ball. That is the only girls sport worth watching.

Seriously? Who did they poll? As a female who works at a sports magazine, I personally can't take any more of the "storytelling" reports. Give me the facts and the scores/standings. I'm tired of the whinny gosip and "tittie sack" stories from both female and male athletes. Yes guys..sorry to bust your ego bubbles but y'all whine and complain as much as any woman ever has. Just play your damn sport, suck it up when your hurt or screw up..EVERYONE! ESPN get a clue and just quit while your ahead. Being politically correct doesn't mean its right.
