What women's sports fans really want
Briefly

The U.S. Women's Sports Report highlights an empowering shift in women's sports, where fans demand authentic, athlete-led engagement that fosters trust. This trust is shown to positively influence fan perception and purchasing behaviors; 68% of U.S. sports fans trust female athletes, rising significantly among male viewers. The report emphasizes that sponsorship should transcend mere visibility and resonate on a personal level with fans, indicating a shift towards a more sincere and impactful connection between athletes, brands, and their audiences.
When a woman athlete promotes a product, fans believe she genuinely supports it. That's not just a feel-good narrative-it's a performance indicator for any brand trying to build equity in 2025.
Trust makes fans more likely to pay attention to your message. Trust makes them more likely to buy.
