What came first, the chicken or the egg? There is zero question that women in sports make far less than their male counterparts. The question is: How do we get more investment in women's sports? And the counter-questions we hear are: is the "product" in a place to create the demand? _______________ So, let's look at some recent numbers: - Women's Championship game: 18.9 million viewers > Men's Championship game: 14.8 million viewers - WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) game this past Sunday drew a crowd of 6,842 fans to see Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever take on the Chicago Sky. Compare this to the NBA, which drew an average of 18,300 fans per game. - The PWHL (Professional Women's Hockey League) drew an average of 5,448 fans and also had a record-breaking 21,500 fans at the Montreal vs. Toronto game. Compare this to the National Hockey League (NHL), which averaged 17,759 fans per game. _______________ Takeaway: The draw for men's sports is stronger than for women's sports. However, the gap is closing—and quickly. _______________ In business, the time to invest is early in the growth trajectory following proof of concept. Women's sports have clearly achieved the proof of concept by drawing fans across all sports. The growth trajectory is very strong. _______________ As a leader in business, I would invest in the game that has fully hatched and is growing. Oh, before I forget, the egg came before the chicken. Look it up. Let's go! #cultureFIRSTleadership #womenINsport #TitleNine

Despite some similarities, season ticket holders form a heterogeneous group of individuals. In my empirical research on no-shows, I often stress that season ticket holders (STHs) account for most football spectator no-show appearances. However, that's only half the truth. In fact, we tend to observe significant differences in STH no-show behavior, for instance, when it comes to the role of age. Intriguingly, the no-show probability is lowest for relatively young and old STHs and the highest between 40 and 50. Why's that? One reason is that one's identification with a favorite (football) team tends to be the lowest in mid-life. And guess what? In many football clubs, most STHs are from exactly this otherwise financially attractive cohort. It may be time to target grandparents and their grandchildren rather than just father and son...

Season 2 Kits for Clubs is now live. To date we have given away 6,000+ high quality football kits free of charge to clubs around the world, teams who share a passion for the sport but do not necessarily have the support or access to facilities that so many take for granted. Uniting football and fashion remains integral to our plans, building communities at all levels, spanning grassroots clubs, community projects, collaborations and pro football teams. The progress that has been made in that last 9 months has been great to see, with many new doors opening and many new projects on the horizon, but at the start remains Kits for Clubs and our commitment to support those that need it. Football really is powerful, we see this with so many iterations of jerseys as fashion items around the globe and the pull of the Premier League, but we have always retained that football is for the fans, the people that really make the game. The fact is that grassroots remains underfunded and many teams go without, Kits for Clubs is there to support and as our community grows, so will our commitment to grassroots. Great work from the Ben Gunn, Scot Bowman and John Ford and Kosmico FC. https://lnkd.in/ezmQND_U @louisbever for the amazing images. https://lnkd.in/eZR6u8pS
