Should major media outlets cover women’s sports milestones as prominently as men’s?

Milestones are not evenly distributed because the sports are not evenly sized. The NBA has 30 teams playing 82 games; the WNBA fields roughly half as many teams on a far shorter schedule, and most women's leagues are younger and smaller than their men's counterparts. Fewer teams and fewer games mean fewer records, fewer championships, fewer historic firsts. That is arithmetic, not bias. A prominence rule that ignores it would force editors to elevate routine women's results above bigger men's stories, and audiences notice when the lead story is not the biggest story. Coverage should track the scale of the sport. As women's leagues grow, and they are growing, their milestones will earn bigger placement on merit. Mandating it in advance just manufactures the resentment the rule claims to fix. WNBA
