Sure that great but what exactly are the professional sporting options in England?
Hopefully it turns out that way
WTF?
Especially to the last sentence.
If the players want to get rich outside hockey they should consider getting more sexy on their social media channels, thats what the richest soccers stars are doing! (no pun intended) Problem is there aint millions of desperate male africans that follow hockey, so it wont be as easy to find followers.
Now, since 3 persons laughed at your post I assume I need to explain what I meant and the reasons behind it.
Note, please read the entire post before judging me as sexist or anything, which I am not.
When I started following Manchester United newly founded womens team 5 years ago
(who I know follows as much as the mens team) I observed on facebook and twitter that 75% of the people commenting on the content was africans craving for the girls in a sexual/dating way on top of being football and Manchester United fans.
In Africa they love their football obviously as its the biggest and cheapest sport, there are literally endless of male football fans there. If 10-20% of males that supports Manchester United mens team also follows the womens team it makes for a decent following.
And it also makes for alot of love-hungry africans who is absolutely turned on by watching pretty white europeans play football in skimpy outfits. This means these fans are following the players on their instagram, twitter and facebook and are simping and spamming them with comments on how beautiful, sexy & exotic they are and with questions about their phone number etc.
I have even called them out on the Man United Women facebook page because I come there to read comments about the actual games and players and not to see romantic & sexual desires about the players on the team.
This is leading up to the fact that many players are making much more money from horny instagram followers than what they get paid by the clubs. And keep in mind that an attractive female that gathers lots of followers on instagram is going to be approached by various fashion related companies that wants them to wear their clothing/products etc - which will lead to more followers etc.
And just like that the african fans lusting for european girls have contributed in a big way to making the girls rich outside football!

And to some degree it spills over as actual progress and interest for the game - because more comments, likes, shares for the teams will make more people aware of the games, the algoritm will be activated etc! This is why Manchester United does not clean up the comment section. The more followers and comments you get, the better for the club and the growth of the game.

Conclusion: That is why I was saying that the first female hockey player that will be considered a HOT SEX BOMB and are posting alot of daring posts on instagram of her in skimpy bikinis, training in thongs etc will have the potential to become the games highest earner ASAP!
You can just observe Livvy Dunne and how she has charmed the american male youth to treat her like a sensual & divine goddess to become rich AF in no time.
It would work the exact same for womens hockey players. Only problem for them is that their in game outfits is not selling sex and attraction in any way or form which will make it harder for them to get people to watch their games for that reason. And millions or billions of africans will not start following female hockey players when there are other options which shows much more skin.
You are not going to see black thongs through white shorts like you see in womens soccer, you are not going to see tanned bodies, players playing games in rain soaked in moist, perfect make-up applied and shown during games!
If you check out Athenea Del Castillo, Alisha Lehmann (16.3 million followers) or Alessia Russo and you will understand exactly what I mean. These players have the looks and they have realized exactly how you use it to make money by wearing XXS in shorts size etc. And I am not blaming them, its just a factual observation.
Do you understand my comment of "desperate africans now"?
Of course being being skilled, charming and beautiful will also attract small girls that idolize the players and want to become exactly like them both in athletic ability and looks! Thats why they have to prevent fans from chasing womens players cars in england. So obviously they have their share of kids and normal fans. But the amount of people there only for physical attraction from a petite, tanned, fit and famous girl is obviously much bigger than on the mens sports side.
Final note: This post is not minimizing womens athletes in any way or form, its just an observation on which athletes makes most money and why! And that athletes that has a huge social media following will actually get more people to follow the sport as well!
So in a way you could say the PWHL and its players could benefit massively from the players becoming sexier and it would not be a lie at all, regardless if you think its appalling or not.
