This can not be done with out the aid of another sport supporting them. In fact, for the first five to ten years support from other teams is needed to keep the sport going. This is because it takes five to ten years to build a good program and have people want to come and pay money to watch the team play. At that point most teams can go on their own and support themselves. However, for some women's sports it is not that easy.
Women play a much slower game than men do.
SO when people have the chance to either watch a mans game or a females game, most will chose the mans for the faster pace game. This is why there are so many sports, especially female sports that are being supported by other sports.
