If you would like additional framing: you have only 30 seconds to prepare and you can talk for 10-30 minutes.

    An extended call for more people to follow women’s sports. I’d mostly center it around bringing more queer people who otherwise don’t follow sports into the fandom:

    • sports are really not that different from other serials you follow, fictional or otherwise
    • shows are better when the episodes are released week-to-week as appointment viewing
    • women’s sports are pretty gay, so your blorbos will date and get married and you will squee
    • there are cute walk-up fits before the game
    • there’s a big crafting subculture to make and trade custom apparel like friendship bracelets
    • sports fans are easy to socialize with because there’s ongoing narratives that are well-described and well-defined
    • all the cool lesbians go to the games and the gay sports bars and meet each other
    • there is much less corruption and fewer shitty toxic people than men’s sports
    • sports look simple but there are a lot of really smart people thinking really hard about tough problems and you can see what they think because they use their bodies to show you
