Women’s sport: between hype and hypocrisy

(Inter)national women's sport has had a great week, with St. Pölten providing a record crowd against Barcelona in the Champions League - but this cannot hide a worrying development. Because there are problems in women's sport in many areas.  

All Women Sports Network - AWSN for short! That's the name of the TV channel founded last week by Hollywood star Whoppi Goldberg, which only broadcasts women's sport. Its program on Thursday with St. Pölten - Barcelona (1:4) might also have included the UEFA Women's Champions League. A game in which 8832 spectators ensured a record crowd in Austrian women's soccer.
