“Definitely, they’re just as important. I mean, the sports are the same. They have the same concept. You know what I’m sayin’? So I don’t understand why they don’t get the same publicity, the same love as the men’s. I definitely notice that the WNBA doesn’t get more attention as the NBA and they should too. I mean they’re professional athletes just like everyone else. It’s been a lot of great things that have happened in women’s sports this year that went unnoticed.”

Since it’s college, especially college and university, I feel like they should put more equality emphasis,”

Caleb Walker Liberal Arts IMG_2021“I just feel like it doesn’t get that much attention only because of the physicality that men have and how more competitive we seem to be. That is probably why it doesn’t get as much publicity. But I think this year, there’s a lot of females that could rock some of the guys that are playing right now,”
