Stereotypes In Sports

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.

There has always been that stereotype of boys being more athletic than girls. The gender segregation of sports reflects more than just physical differences between men and women. It reflects the way men think about women and sports. When someone throws a baseball in a nonathletic way, a friend would yell, “Stop throwing like a girl!” Being reminded of this

Are you a girl or do you know a girl? are you or the girl you know a tomboy? many girls love to play sports and be active but many do not.

Why should girls be allowed to play on a guy sport? why do people think girls can’t?. Why should they? It is no where true that males are stronger than females. What i think about that last line saying that it does not say anywhere that guys are stronger than females is true some girls might’ve liked sports all their life and go stronger than guys just because they are girls does not mean the can’t work

For example, in most schools, girls aren’t allowed to play football.

"They told me they were bringing me out of the game to get his double double, and I was like alright that's cool, I'll let him get it. He was kinda mad he had nine and they were going to take him out of the game so I was letting him get it."

In the film “She’s the Man,” Viola is a talented soccer player whose high school has just cut the women’s soccer team. As a result, her and her teammates immediately ask the coach of the boy’s soccer team if they can tryout for their team. When the coach laughs at her question, she says, “Coach, c’mon! You know that we’re good enough!” He then replies back with “you’re all excellent players, but girls aren’t as fast as boys, or strong, or as athletic. It’s not me talking. It’s scientific fact. Girls can’t beat boys. It’s as simple as that.” At this moment, a few boys from the team walk in to join the conversation. When the coach tells them that the girls want to join the team, the boys all break out in laughter.

"We were really aggressive. After that, we could run. We scored a lot of points in the open court."

Becky Hammon was the first female coach to win a title in the NBA and Jen Welter was the first female coach for Arizona Cardinals There's more women in history who were the first to accomplish something that has to do with sports.

"Yeah, right!" said Coach half laughing. "Let's just continue to shoot around until the clock is running, OK girls." So I grabbed a ball out of the steel cage in the corner of the gym and started to fling it towards the hoop. "Jaclyn, would you come here for a minute?" asked Coach Moore in a serious tone.

“If you want to play on this basketball court,” Robbie sneered, “you have to win it from us. Me versus Johnny tomorrow at recess. Whoever wins gets to have the court.”
