A League of Their Own questions

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) was one of the first professional women's sports. Today, there are not nearly as many professional women's sporting events as there are men's. Can this still be attributed to the beliefs that were held during the 40s or is it for different reasons all together? There have been man professional teams created, but the leagues can rarely be sustained. Professional soccer...professional volleyball..and many others, have all fallen. Only 2 true professional sports remain for women - Basketball and Softball. Are these sports more popular in general? How can these teams survive while others cannot? 

I believe that there are not as many women's professional sporting events as there are men's because of safety reasons, and also women's sports are not as popular as men's sports. I believe that these sports are more popular in general because softball is a lot like baseball and girls often want to play, and the WNBA is still alive, but I have no idea how because nobody seems to care about it. These teams can survive because these sports are more common among girls because many want to play them.
