		Women's professional basketball was, up to that time, an unmistakably losing proposition, with a miserable history of three previous failed leagues from the 1970s to the 1990s-soon to be joined by a fourth, the American Basketball League, which folded in December 1998.
		The rewriting of women's sports, then, is facilitated by the viewer's basic understanding of the rules of the game and the aesthetics of team play; "Aesthetics" in this case applying to the beauty of physical performance (as opposed to the passivity of attractive models/mannequins).
		Ultimately, would-be fans of the independent league were forced to hunt for taped replays on regional sports channels, or to search in vain for box scores in their local papers.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Babe Didrikson
		In 1949, she helped found the Ladies Professional Golfers Association to put women's golf on more even footing with men's by giving professional women golfers a venue.
		More than a hero to feminists and young women who aspire to athletic achievement, athlete Babe Didrikson was a sports hero in the finest American tradition, larger than life, with super-sized faults to match her virtues.
		But it is the flesh and blood Didrikson, angry, cocky, competitive, and irrepressible, that forged her place in history's sports hall of fame.

		This study is a replication of Tuggle's original study to determine whether the existence of two women's professional sports leagues has resulted in increased coverage of female athletics.
		But despite the growing level of participation by female athletes at all competition levels and documented fan interest in women's athletics, coverage of women's sports remains inferior to that given male sports across all media.
		Tuggle's 1997 study showed that two national highlights programs (CNN's Sports Tonight and ESPN's SportsCenter) devoted only 5% of their airtime to women's athletics.
