I know netball is the number one female sport in Australia, but hockey also offers a lot.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Tennis has been around for so long - women have been playing the majors since the 1800s. Other sports have not had professional leagues for women for as long.
It's odd, that's why I don't like telling people I played field hockey. It's real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, 'Oh, you girl!'
It's really football, tennis, and golf that I watch other than hockey.
Where is women's sports prominently displayed with the men? Tennis is the only thing I can think of.
And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.
Basketball isn't as popular in Canada as it is in the US. Hockey is by far the most popular sport in Canada.
Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.
Women's sport helps break down a lot of barriers for women in other areas, whether in religion or politics.
There were no women's players I knew of. I didn't even know women's hockey existed.
Tennis is definitely a star for women in sports.
