Lots of leagues fail, sports leagues. Look no further than down south with the AFF football. In life, nothing is deserved. You make decisions based on the probability of good things. For example, if someone was to go to school and get a degree for a career with little to no possibility for employment to go along with a non livable salary even if employed. It’s best not to choose that career path.
I had a friend who wanted to make the Olympics in a sport with little or no financial reward. Then he complains after about how tough it is to live with the income deficiency. Soon enough he realized he had to make a tough choice, be an adult and do something else to make ends meet, no matter how big his dream was to win a gold medal. Life is about choices and what you are willing to sacrifice to do what you love, in this case financial sacrifice.

Not to sound crass but I do think there is a sense of entitlement too along the lines of "If men can make a living doing this we should be able to". I fully support them making a living doing this... As long as there are people willing to pay to watch. I know the WNBA is subsidized by the NBA but they still average 7,716 in attendance.
