"women's snooker barely gets a look-in, as does women's football"
In the US, oddly, football (soccer) is considered, when played by grownups rather than kids, primarily a women's sport.
"sort of classic `core' events"
In general I'd say you're right, but even with these there are exceptions. I have once seen a women's hockey match on UK television (although of course you don't see the men's game on TV much either) and I don't think I ever noticed a televised netball match.
