Actually, this brings up an interesting point.
It is true that the WNBA and the WPSL (or whatever the major women's soccer league is called now) have at least had some degree of success attracting female fans to their respective sports. And the market goes way beyond lesbians. They also draw the interest of a lot of young girls who play basketball or soccer.
So the question is, what if by allowing female players to be represented in OOTP, this game could get the attention of women/girls? I'm sure there are some young ladies out there who are fans of games like The Sims, who also happen to play high school softball. What if by adding some relatively simple code, Markus could allow the option of female players and THAT results in, say, a dozen girls buying OOTP?
I realize that may be a stretch, but ask yourselves this: Would it be worth it if it meant adding a different demographic - small as it may be - to the customer base? Or is it ultimately more important that OOTP maintains its "integrity" and doesn't stoop to such gimmicky shenanigans just to (possibly) sell a few more copies?
