American Football's Negligence Towards Women

If an upbringing of girls in the next generation do turn to football, many teams will have to adapt to the new atmosphere all over the United States. Possibly rolling over into other countries after seeing how well women in the NFL can succeed.

while women in world sports are often being misjudged. Male- dominant sports culture often come from the way women in society are viewed. (Brittney Griner leads men and women in the big twelve.) “It’s not how big you are it’s how big you play”. Female sports are highly underestimated. Watch and support women's sports because they work just as hard as the men teams do. “It’s as though the producers and commentators are thinking, ‘If we can't say anything sexist, then we can't say anything at all about women's sports”. Networks struggle to understand how much trouble these female athletes go through, just for there gender let alone being a athlete.

The fact that the football field is an all-male space connects it to patriarchy. It isn’t just about men dominating women, but also about men dominating other men. “We become adept at taking the feelings that boil up inside us-

been well recorded, and it sometimes affects his game too much.” Ronaldo sometimes argues with players and the referee that he ends up getting sent off early with either two yellow cards or a straight red card affecting his team and teammates with one less player on the field against a full eleven man squad. I see how people create stereotypes about professional soccer players because i watch almost every soccer game of Cristiano Ronaldo's soccer team and Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s soccer team both Real madrid and Paris Saint Germain. When watching the soccer games of Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain you could see where people create these stereotypes but most of the time professional players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic play

“There is no reason girls shouldn’t be able to play football, just not with men. The thought of professional coed sports is ridiculous. There is a reason the biggest woman body builder doesn’t even compare in size with the men, its because their bodies are simply not made to do so and look at the olympics, maybe not events like gymnastics but as far as any sport that records times and physical output, men will always dominate. The fastest woman is not faster than the fastest man, same goes with strength. How many of you have actually played a physical sport with a man? Not high schoolers and why not because they haven’t even finished puberty. I could possibly see girls playing limited to no contact sports with men, but something like football? Simply outrageous, they would be destroyed. It doesn’t matter how tough you are, a broken leg feels the same to both sexes, and broken legs and other injuries can easily mean contract termination, hence my point is the girls will suffer a lot more

It is sad to see how movies portray the stereotype of how football players are not as bright as the students around them. Stereotypes are produced by individuals that see people in a way shown by the person belonged to a group. These stereotypes and misconceptions are everywhere because people are easy to judge by the way they appear. People never use the time to get to know the person because of the lack of knowledge of the individual has of the person’s group belonged to. Over the course of decades, stereotypes have been growing much larger and have been used in social media. Shows and cartoons play a role as well in stereotypes and it is shown to kids which give them that idea of the group of people that

As stated previously, women have a much lower interest in competing in athletics, statistically speaking. For example, high schools must also obey the regulations put into play by Title IX by offering the same number of sports teams for each gender, thus giving high school students equal opportunities to participate in athletics. However, even though both male and females are offered the same opportunities, 1.4 million fewer females choose to compete in high school sports than males. Based on recent reports from the 2010-11 academic year from the state high school athletic associations from all 50 states, sports participation among genders is approximately 4.5 million boys, or 60% of total participation, as compared to approximately 3.1 million girls, or only 40% of total participation.(Toporek) Although this statistic clearly

Some people think football is only for boys, but that’s not true. Out of 25 kids, all 25 said they wanted to play football. It’s a sport that includes girls and boys. This proves that football is a valuable part of recess and should not be

Ever since I was able to walk I have participated in sports from cheerleading, soccer, track, and etc. I remember after cheerleading practice, my friend and I would join the boys in a game of football. We were decent in football, but I felt we would have been better if we were part of the team. We wanted to drop cheerleading and join the football team, but there would be controversy within the community. Growing up I always wondered why there was a men’s football team, but never a women’s football team. There are usually a men and women’s team in every sport, except football. Therefor it is only right for women to have their own football team.

“One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete” (Beyoncé, 2016). On Sunday, February 7th, 2016 the NFL Super Bowl 50 was hosted where the Panthers played against the Broncos. The halftime show was headlined by Coldplay, with special guest performers Beyonce and Bruno Mars. Beyonce took over the stage and with her performance the female singer was trying to make a serious political statement. At the halftime show, Beyoncé sang her most recent song called “Formation”, and it captured everyone's attention with her performance and was called out racist. Also the music video made a political issue that is now being charged.

From the feeling of treading on freshly-cut grass to the exhilaration of victory, football is a sport loved by many. Nearly one hundred eighty-seven million Americans describe themselves as fans of the NFL (Thomas). Truly, the raw passion and intensity that radiates from the field keeps the viewers watching, wanting more. The struggle for power between two teams only heightens the amount of cheering from the stands, because all the audience wants to see is a game of domination. Football emphasizes the image of masculinity through the hulking figures of its players: violent, domineering, and aggressive. Although a game of fine strategy and tactic, there is no elegance on the field, only the singular driving thought of winning by any means.

As of twenty-sixteen. Only fourteen thousand girls played on a high school varsity football team according to business insider. The sport is to aggressive. If I was a parent, and I had a daughter. she would not play football. The reason why is because on a varsity team. They pick the biggest and best players on their team. Therefore, I believe girls should not play football. For the reason why, they do not have the same body structurer and we can easily hurt them.

They are thought of just because that they are women that they can’t play sports. There was a journal article written by Murray called “Corporate Sponsorship for Women’s Sports.” It covers many different things such as how a corporation should appropriately propose a sponsorship and how that sponsorship will do good for the person receiving it. Also it talks about programs that are set aside for student athletes. However, the main part talked about stereotypes places on women, and the media coverage of them. She says, “The pervasive stereotype of women in sports is that ‘men do while women watch,’ The media reinforce this stereotype by portraying female athletes as over glamorized, over- feminized, and too emotional to deal with success and failure on the playing field” (Murray 74). She is saying that the media takes women sports and throws stereotypes on them such as being too pretty, or too dramatic when in reality they are there just to play the sport not be pretty. Murray later came up with a solution on how to lower these stereotypes which would be by increasing the media coverage of these women. This journal article is yet another heavy example as to how the media portrayal and how they showcase women is degrading compared to how they show

The subject of masculinity holds the contexts of aggression among players and how it can be encouraged by the sport. Card and Dahl (2011) regard aggressive behavior as a means of developing a feeling of being masculine in an orderly way. Within the culture of American football, a positive character among the trainers and peers as well can be attained by showing a character of aggressiveness, and a strong will to fight and be violent which will guarantee a win (Benedict & Keteyian, 2013; Harper and Harris, 2010)). For footballers to be regarded as masculine instead of being viewed as weak, they must show the willingness to fight and no signs of weakness in character, and this push them for a win (Benedict, 2004). There appears to be the force that require the players to win at any cost in football matches and this in turn generate masculinity among player for the team to be

The behavior of a football players over the years has become somewhat of a problem at time. While some football players have great lives and come up in great homes there are some who grow up in bad areas and are exposed to bad things at a young age. Football can teach the brain many different things football trains and strengthens and emboldens and from the way we are trained it can teach the brain a bit of violence the sport may have this way of big men in a violent way colliding into each other for gladiator glory in a way that alters their brain chemistry and might make them more dangerous and violent. What you see in football players, from a young age is that they are trained to hit hard, be aggressive and take severe damage. Not only
