A Draft Persuasive Essay : Cheyenne Regnier

Women’s equality is an issue that has been around for awhile. While women have been given many rights to increase equality, including the right to vote and go to college, the problem hasn’t completely vanished. One area that still sees this is in sports. Women’s sports do not draw nearly as many fans and are not covered in the media as much as men’s sports, pay differences between male and female athletes are large, and female athletes have to wait longer to start their professional career than men, which risks their professional career before it even starts.

“In the earliest generation of sports it was clear that men’s were much more developed and produced than women’s. Now to this day, the overwhelming difference of the two gender’s sports is significantly exposed. If the media were to equalize women’s sports to men’s then it would decrease the ratings, but the house should force the media to display, promote, and report women’s sports equally to men’s sports because increased media would essentially expand the fund for women’s sports and it would create role models for young women to get engaged in a sport.

I think that women should be allowed to play in any sports, and if it's a physical sport it should be a woman’s league. First, I think women should be able to do anything that men can do. Additionally, women should get paid the same amount that men gets for the same sport. To add, women are no different from men, so women can achieve anything that a man can achieve.

Many would argue that females cannot take the roughness that comes to playing with males. According to Tamburrin and Tannsjo, Genetic Technology and Sport, “The sexual differences are simply irrelevant. If a female athletes can perform better than a male athlete, this female athlete should be allowed to compete with, and beat, the male athlete”. If women can serve to protect our country along with men, shouldn’t they be allowed to play a sport along with them also? In any instance, girls and boys with likely suffer from injuries, whether they are play with their gender or the opposite.

The next aspect we’ll be looking at, is the advertisement point of view of gender equality within sports and sporting events. Women's sports never receive as much advertisement as men’s athlete teams do. You can use sports such as worms soccer for an example, along with UFC for an example of this and college and professional females basketball teams. 
For an example of this in a larger aspect, just imagine that someone offered for you to go to the NRG Stadium in Houston Texas where the stadium that had over 70,000 fans watching the 2016 D1 men’s NCCA championship basketball game for March Madness was taking place. It was a crazy game, with what you thought a crazy come from behind win was about to take place for North Carolina, and to make

When it comes to girls being able to play on sport teams, I favor this simply because it is a right for them to do so, the allegations formed against are unfair and unjust, and being placed on a team should be determined by skills, determination and abilities rather than gender.

The sports world has been a new area where women are recognized. In previous times women’s sports were almost non-existent. In schools many girl teams did not receive adequate funds for uniforms and equipment. Boys sports were much more popular, such as football or basketball. If a girl wanted to play a guy sport she would be labeled as a

Through the movies viewed in this course this semester, we saw women who were able to play against men and still keep their femininity. Nothing is lost when playing sports not traditionally meant for a particular race or gender. Society must become more understanding when it comes to the sports different types of people play and hinder from stereotyping anyone when they participate and perform well in that sport.

In the world of sports it started off that girls could never play sports and then in 1972 a public law called Title IX came to existence which allowed girls to play sports but not with boys. Today the question is asked should girls play on boys’ sports teams? One would think that girls should not play with boys on a sports team because boys are just naturally taller and stronger than women and they would dominate the girls in a fully contact sport. Another may think that if a girl is truly capable to play on an all boys’ sports team, then she should not be denied the opportunity to try out for an all boys’ team. Some other people may believe that sports at younger ages should remain co-ed because boys and girls body types are still

People might still say that the segregation of genders in sports are making gender equality impossible, but the separation of genders in sports is not because one gender is better than the other. It is to ensure the fairness and equality. Women and men are naturally built differently and they both are both truly strong but in different ways. In order to keep sports fair, just and equal, the best thing to do is to keep sports separated by

Women have struggled for more than two centuries to be taken serious as professionals. There should not be a double standard in sports especially if it is loved and played by both genders. Over the years, females have competed against the stereotype of being too fragile both mentally and physically to play strenuous sports. The passion and work ethic of the female professional athletes is just as strong as the males and everyone should be treated equal and be able to have a chance at making a better living for themselves as well as their family. One area that still faces a continual struggle in sports is gender equality. Female

Men Vs. Women in Professional Sports      Ever since the ancient Greece, men have held athletic competitions or sports. It is only in modern times that women have had an opportunity to compete. Most sports still don’t have men and women directly competing against one another. In the past athletic instructors adapted the rules to make sports less physically taxing for women. For instance in basketball, to ensure that girls maintain proper decorum, they were forbidden from snatching the ball and dribbling it more than three times in row. Females would not be considered strong enough to play a full-court basketball game until 1971. Women have struggled to be taken seriously as athletes for more than two centuries.

There are always sports that women can’t do and I don’t think that’s fair.I believe that women can be just as good or even better in these sports they can’t play in. Women aren’t being treated respectful when others say they can’t do something because they are a female. We should all be treated fairly and have women play other sports.

Sexism limits our country. In a world where sexism still exists, women face challenges every day as they choose to embark in athletic activities. Even with the efforts of Title IX, which was established in 1972, there is not equality in sports for men and women. Sexism is real with stereotypes and discrimination on the basis of sex. Even with the high level of success reached by numerous female athletes of many different sports, male athletes always seem to have the upper hand. Whether it is pay, media, support, gear, or playing grounds, one sex always has the better of the two. Male athletes dominate a field that truly is shared by both sexes. What if we treated male athletes the way we treat female athletes? That is a world hard to imagine, and honestly, it shouldn't be. Through female athletes sharing their stories of unfair treatment and pay, sexism and generations of inequality in sports can be overcome.

Over the years the thought of women in sports have changed drastically. It is stated in Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” This means that any person in America ARE allowed to participate in or tryout for a sport and cannot be denied the option to do so whether they are male or female.
