If you would like additional framing: you have only 30 seconds to prepare and you can talk for 10-30 minutes.

An extended call for more people to follow women's sports. I'd mostly center it around bringing more queer people who otherwise don't follow sports into the fandom:

  • sports are really not that different from other serials you follow, fictional or otherwise
  • shows are better when the episodes are released week-to-week as appointment viewing
  • women's sports are pretty gay, so your blorbos will date and get married and you will squee
  • there are cute walk-up fits before the game
  • there's a big crafting subculture to make and trade custom apparel like friendship bracelets
  • sports fans are easy to socialize with because there's ongoing narratives that are well-described and well-defined
  • all the cool lesbians go to the games and the gay sports bars and meet each other
  • there is much less corruption and fewer shitty toxic people than men's sports
  • sports look simple but there are a lot of really smart people thinking really hard about tough problems and you can see what they think because they use their bodies to show you

    As someone who got into women's sport for the football World Cup in 2023, it was every bit as World Cup-y as the current men's one. Fun fun fun.

    Sorry for sharing ads but this one is great, and a justified use of AI
