A League of their Own

The AAGPBL did not succeed, along with many other women's sports because they were not popular enough. Just because this league was in the 40's does not have anything to do with the downfall of the league. Many Professional  teams are created throughout the country and world, and few succeed. the AAGPBL failed most likely because of a loss of fans over time, not because of the time period. Basketball and Soft-ball are more well-favored and therefore that is why their still around now a days. These teams are able to survive because they have the fan-base, and profits coming in to do so.
