Basketball Is The Better Sport

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. Over the years, females have

Throughout history, woman have been fighting for equality with men. This fight isn’t over and doesn’t stop with the right to vote or the right to wear pants. The progressive movements of feminism are starting to creep into younger generations, including, but not limited to young girls wanting to play on predominantly male-dominated sport teams. There are a lot of controversies when looking at this topic, saying there’s a natural strength advantage, it would be uncomfortable for a male to compete alongside females, among other reasons but ultimately, if the drive and effort is present, there are legal rights and no legitimate reason for woman to not be given the opportunity to prove themselves and normalize the incorporation of females to male sports.

In this photo, the women are more reserved, and do not seem to be as aggressive as the basketball we know today. They possibly could have not been displaying as much athleticism because of their constraining clothing, such as the long skirts and the collared shirt. The opinion that women are not as athletic as men and do not have the same strengths began early and created a stereotype regarding women's basketball. Moving forward to 1928, the University of Tennessee's yearbook, The Volunteer, showcases men's and women's uniforms during that year. At this point in history, women had earned their right to vote from the 19th amendment and were being more progressive.

In the sports world, there are many competitive sports between men and women. Players compete to find out who play better men or women. Most men think that they are the best at any and everything but is that actually true. The most competitive sport of all is basketball. The WNBA and NBA both have similarities such as dribbling and shooting technique; however, some people believe that men can play basketball better than women.

My first point is when do we decide boys should play with boys and girls should play with girls. Everyone develops at their own rate, which means that some girls develop at a faster rate than boys and could be able to compete fairly. A 12 year old girl named Makhaela Jenkins took this idea to court in 2013. She was fighting for her right to play on a boys only football team. She won her case, and that year there was more then 1,500 girls playing on boys football teams, which is a 17% increase since 2009, according to the National Federation of State high school Association.

Women have been playing basketball for years, but it wasn’t official until April 24, 1996. Women’s basketball announced “We Got Next” as the NBA Board of Governors approved

I highly agree that girls should play the sport. It could make them stronger, more independent and could build more self-esteem. also, it could build a better relationship between players and parents. I agree that it could make the better at certain abilities, but I still believe that they are not meant for the sport. Now let us talk about the injury factor. I think with proper training, dieting and working will help them not get hurt while playing. Yes, that is true, but I still think that the sport is just not meant for them. For example, Deshaun Watson one of the best college and rookie NFL quarterback. He tore his acl by just getting tackled normally. This shows that even the best players can get severely

The overall themes found in this excerpt of the text are deception, impending doom, and death. This is displayed all throughout this reading by various symbols and actions by the characters. A few main symbols that contribute to the portrayal of these three themes are the Purple Flask, Lydia’s dress, Lydia’s demeanor, and even the way Midwinter faints when he first encounters Lydia upon returning to England. By using these symbols, there is a certain aspect of foreshadowing that hints and forthcoming death within the story.

People think that football is to hard and physical for females because of them supposably being very delicate and fragile due to the stereotype that everyone thinks about girls. That football is a male sport due to the intensity of the sport and the repetitive physical contact throughout the game. Football is known for for being a very hard sport to play and very rough sport as well which also make it a male sport because the fact that it is rough so females shouldn 't be able to play because it is to rough and physical for them. The thing is that some girls can hang with they guys and compete in some of these sports not all girls fall into the stereotype of being fragile and too sweet to play the sport of football. These are all issues that fall into the problem of gender logic because people are making these sports gender specific because the quality that you should have to play this sport fall under on that should be played by just male athletes. These are all things that happen and make people think that football is a males sport because of the perception that has been made, that football is a male only sport due to the stereotypes and are associated with it.

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.

Although men and women’s basketball are closer to being equal than softball and baseball, the leagues are still separate. America has a women’s league and a men’s league and never the two shall meet. A woman is not allowed in the NBA since she has the WNBA. The separation is strong, obvious, and seemingly permanent. Like basketball, they created softball to play indoors during the winter. The game earned the name softball and due to its easier properties was often “regarded as baseball’s stepchild” (Ring, p. 60). They passed the game down to women, as it seemed safe enough to limit the risk of injury. And so the separation began.

Football, basketball, volleyball, and many more… these are all known as common sports that people participate in. How many people were involved in sports during high school or even now in college? What is it that makes it a sport? Is it the time commitment? Well what about the competitiveness? We are all used to spending hours and hours on end practicing and preparing for something whether it be a game, a tournament, or a competition… We have all been there before. I started dancing fourteen years ago, when I was just three years old. Growing up, some of my friends always asked me why I wanted to be a part of something that was not even considered a sport, but to me it was and it was the best thing I could have ever been involved in. Anything that consists of countless hours of practicing and is competitive should be considered a sport. The opinions on this topic are endless, but I’m going to discuss three reasons why I believe dance should be considered a sport. Dancers practice just as much, if not more than other sports, they compete against other teams, and dancers act like a family to one another. Although dance is known as an art, nobody said it could not be both an art and a sport.

Ever since I was a little girl I remember hearing people say “boys are better than girls at sports”. Of course I always denied it and tried to say we were better but no one ever listened. I started wondering, why were guys apparently so better at sports than girls are. Because their stronger? Because their more “athletic”? Or is it because society just says they are. I feel like its option C. Girls never really had a shot to prove how good they are at sports because guys always took the spotlight.

When speaking of women’s sports, men’s sports, media coverage and sponsorships, many will think of sports leagues where things are very similar for both genders like the NBA and WNBA. Basketball is the one sport where things are

It is officially basketball season! Do you know what this means? This means crazy fans going topless, painting their torso one color, incise a letter to spell out their team’s name, and excessive screaming. It is such an interesting atmosphere to be in. However, there is a difference between men and women basketball. What is the difference? Women and men basketball are different in so many ways. Even though their size, athleticism, speed, and strength are comparable they are less competitive, are not able to reach the same level of stability while men add an interest to the game.
