Because we have fans that support it over sports that matter like CBB. Softball is not huge nationwide. The ratings are meh and the following is basically OU and that's it. It's a crap sport.
Softball has come a long way in the last 15-20 years. It has increased in popularity across the country. It used to be a strictly west coast sport. The National Tournament has also been very good to Oklahoma City. It contributes to the economy.
I’m a season ticket holder in football, but I happen to enjoy softball, basketball, and baseball. I’m happy for the success of gymnastics and golf. It would a real shame to drop sports to invest even more money in football. If so many of these SEC schools can support all of these sports, I don’t see why we can’t do it as well.
You have every right to not like softball, but the juvenile name calling is not fair or accurate.
