Stereotypes In Football

In today's society women are able to become anything they wish. Generations ago women did not have the privilege to become what they truly desired compared to the women of today. Although women can become anything they desire, they cannot succeed financially. Women are still underpaid in many areas, especially in Pro Sports. The disparity in pay for women compared men's pro sports is absurd. Female athletes have also seen greater success in sports as well and have been belittled and condemned of the rewards they rightfully deserve for the achievements in their sports. It is simple, gender should not define pay in pro sports, especially if they both have equal to or greater success in their respected sports.

This on-running issue over unequal pay between men and women in the same area of work is sadly something that is not new in the 21st century. It has been around for as long as women entered the same field as men and has yet to be fixed. Now, when the problem is looked at in professional sports, there is no difference. No matter if both teams have an equally successful season, or if one triumphs over the other, it is always the guys who get the big bucks while the girls are given a significantly smaller amount. Just take a look at the U.S women 's soccer team who had just won the 2015 world cup not too long ago. One of international soccer 's most prestigious events, the team was awarded a nice amount of two million dollars. However, the U.S men’s soccer team on the other hand was given nine millions dollars, and they had lost in the midst of round 16 of their tournament. In what way, shape, or form is this fair? In an article by Scott Stump for Today News, he acknowledges the major victories that the USWNT (U.S Women’s National Team) has achieved, and what little the men have done in comparison. Stump states, “The women also shattered ratings records for soccer games in America with a record 26.7 million tuning in to watch them beat Japan in the World Cup final. The women have won three straight Olympic gold medals as well as three World Cup titles overall, while

“Equal play. Equal pay.” –U.S. Women’s National Team (Reiher). The gender pay gap is surprisingly still a large problem today. Not only in soccer, but in every sport women exert the most effort, yet they do not receive the credit. The U.S. Woman’s National Team should receive an equal amount of pay as the men’s team because they have won more titles, they are better soccer players, and they bring in more income.

Lopiano complains that there’s too much of a salaries gap between man and women playing the same sports. “The right to play has been established. However, the issue that has been confronted is the barrier to being treated equally when it comes to money” (Lopiano 1). Most people will say women’s tennis matches are more exciting than men’s matches; men’s victory purses are still considerably higher than women’s victory purses. Top women tennis players earned 59 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. The average total purse was $63,031,000.00 for top men players and $41,000,000.00 for top women players (Daniel Frankl 2). In soccer, the Women’s World Cup soccer team was promised $12,500 if they won compared to the $300,000 male players were to receive. The payout for women players was increased to $50,000 because fans protested the unfair payout gap between the male and female players (Lopiano 1); it’s still 1/6 the payout

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

The German men’s national soccer team played seven full 90 minute games also. Professional women soccer players separately play on club teams during the year just like the men soccer players. The same set of rules apply to both sexes. But, the one major difference is money. The USWNT should get paid more. If the teams were coed would the prize money change? The USWNT earned the same title as Germany’s men's team but did not earn the same amount of money. The USWNT should get paid more. If the same game is played at the same level of competition, why would the sex of the players change the prize for winning? The USWNT played the same game at the same level of competition as Germany’s men's team but did not earn the same amount of money. The USWNT should get paid more. If men suddenly started to play girl’s lacrosse and adapt to their rules, would they be treated fairly, justly, and without bias? Or would they be treated as unreasonably as the USWNT and female athletes all around the world? The USWNT is the female version of Germany’s men's team but is not treated fairly, justly, or without bias. The USWNT should get paid more. The salary of an athlete should not be based off of the athlete’s gender.The USWNT should get paid

This article is about how one picture, tweet, or comment can ruin an athlete's or students career. In this article they talk about a soccer player from Ohio who was suspended from his team because he retweeted a picture of pot and a lighter and the message was “Marijuana is my favorite.” There was also a New Hampshire basketball player who was trash talking on twitter and that costed him his player of the year award and the tweet was only online for 15 minutes. Any athlete who is cyberbullying, complaining about playing time, or taunting someone else can cost them. It is important to watch what you post and remember that not everything you delete hasn’t already been seen by someone else. It is also important to stop and think before you post.

Many people believe that men and women soccer players are paid perfectly the way they are, but the way that the women are getting paid is an enormous issue in today's society. Women should be paid more because they are bringing in more profit, they are winning more games than the men, and they have more fan

The problem is, their pay is totally unfair” (Ferro 1). Competitive levels are still equal between male and female players, they play the same games and the same tournaments, and win and lose about the same between the seasons (in exception to the women’s soccer team). I mean success is what really makes a team attractive and the viewers are more likely to watch which brings in more views and more money. “It shows that while financial inequality among the clubs has increased, competitive balance has remained relatively stable and match attendance appears unrelated to competitive balance” (Szymanski 1). The pay balance will need to take some work and fight to actually balance and make difference in equality in male and female sports. It isn’t even just confined to professional sports, any job profession in general women tend to be paid less, no matter what. Drawing an example right here, take Usain St Leo Bolt, OJ, CD is a Jamaican sprinter. Regarded as the fastest human ever timed, he is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time became mandatory. Asafa Powell, CD is a Jamaican sprinter who specialises in the 100 metres. He held the 100 metres world record between June 2005 and May 2008, with times of 9.77 and 9.74

While male cricketers lounge around with pay packets reaching $2 million, female athletes in contrast, are left to struggle, earning between $18,000 and $46,000 on average (King, 2016). Same role, but there is such a stark difference – a real shame if you ask me.

“The USA women’s national team are demanding equal pay. Is it realistic?” by Beau Dure, is an informative article written with the purpose to tell the reader the facts in the debate over equal pay between men’s and women’s soccer. Dure emphasizes the pay gap and supports the claim of there being one with several sub-claims. He does not simply say that there is a gap, he tells

The cartoon picture contends that athletes are making the podium are drug cheats. It shows that athletes can only make the podium on drugs. Also if there were no drugs involved the podium would show athletes that have achieved on their own merits. The illustrator used depth of field because he gave objects a clear focus. He has blurred the background of the picture in black, and has put white in the middle in order to put more emphasis on the podium. The illustrator has used colour as he used a white middle ground and bright colours on the drugs in this picture to show the audience that if you get caught cheating a big light will shine on you telling everyone you cheated. He also used a white background and bright colours to highlight the

The numbers are there. The passion and following are there, but the lack of physical exertion is going to be a large hangup for people. Esports is fighting the same the same stereotypes that gaming in general does, but esports is making a strong argument to actually be considered among the “real” sports. It seems only to be a matter of time before esports gets the recognition it desires and frankly deserves. The chances of a game appearing on ESPN recap is slim to none, but gaming in itself has always been a niche system. A system that is growing at an alarmingly rapid pace.

One time, when I was playing baseball, the other team was mocking us, and their parents were yelling at us. Our team ignored them and played the game. In the beginning, the other team was winning and all the other team’s parents were screaming and yelling. They continued mocking us and being jerks, but they got their fair share, or karma. The inning right after, we scored 5 runs and almost caught up. That inning, I heard the parent’s yells aimed more to their side, and not as much to our side. By the last inning we were beating the other team, and the parent’s mouths were shut, nothing out of their mouths. That shows that you have to be fair to everyone else, treat them how you want to be treated. If you don’t you may get a dose of sweet

You have to fight for it.” To get the equal pay that they U.S women’s National Team and women around the world want, they need to fight. When someone wants something and the person they tell says no to them, they find another way around it. They don’t stop wanting it because someone said no. They keep on fighting for what they want. “Players became accepting of making a decent salary. And when I say decent, I mean it’s a good living here in America, but it in no way compares to our counterparts on the men’s team.” The men have a great life, so do the women, but the pay difference between the men and the women does affect them. In no way, shape, or form do the women have less of drive to work hard and play hard in soccer, especially on the U.S National Teams. Yet, there is a pay difference that affects the
