The interview on The Tom Leykis Show certainly could be one of the reasons why the show does not exist today.  Unfortunately the viewer named Brad and the host of the show, Tom Leykis, are actually right about something, yet say it in the most vulgar and disrespectful way.  Brad's comment about 90 to 95 of televised sports being performed by males is absolutely correct, along with Leykis' comment about attendance (examples on pp.107) and Brad's comment about how even the sports leagues that the woman have are barely a blip on the radar screen compared to say men's gold or the NBA.  "There's no woman basketball player like a Shaquille O'Neal... And there's no Tiger Woods in the women's gold league (107).  However, even though the men's leagues are more popular and fun to watch, this does not mean that they should be disrespected.  They work just as hard and get less exposure, coverage, and recognition.
