How Hollywood's Backing is Making Soccer a Big Business



The profit potential for women’s sports is increasing. For venture capitalists, celebrities and sports legends, new revenue streams and shifting fan behavior may soon deliver huge returns.

New data from Sports Innovation Lab suggests that understanding fans of a more-established women’s league like the WNBA can help unlock wealth elsewhere. But first, longstanding biases and skepticism must be overcome. And for the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), there’s a recent scandal around alleged abuses that have shaken its very foundation.
