Women's sports

is the support of women’s sports. The women’s sports do not receive the same amount of fan support as the male sports. It seems that the records or the scores of the games do not matter when it comes to spectators coming to the sporting events. At our school, a lot of the women’s sports have better records and closer games but that does not detour them away from watching the men’s verse women’s.

States included women’s sports. The event was the olympics while every other event was a men's events, (“Top 10”). Similarly, “SportsCenter, ESPN’s flagship program, dedicated just 2% of its airtime to women’s sports in 2014”(“SportsCenter’s Shameful”). However, most people tune into watch men’s sports more often than women’s because they are more interesting and the provide more entertainment for the viewer. Nonetheless, the media should cover women’s sports proportionately to men’s sports because increased

Gender discrimination in sports has been an issue since competition began long ago. Back then, people believed only men should play sports, women might hurt themselves, women should wear respectable clothes, and women should stay home and take care of the children (“Women”). However, this inequity became outdated in the 1970s when Title IX was passed. “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination

The history of sports in America is a long and diverse one. This is especially the case for American women, whose journey for equal rights and opportunities throughout the 20th century has been mirrored in relm of athletics, due in large part to Title IX of the United States Education Ammendents Act of 1972. According to the Equal Opportunity in Education Act in 2002, after its House co-author and sponsor. It states (in part) that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded

How Has The Perspective of Women Sports Change Over Time? Many years ago and until recently people did not really accept the fact that women could play sports as well as men, or even play at all. Over the years, people started to accept some women as athletes at some sports, but not all of them. Sports like rugby, football and handball were only played by men. Nowadays, however, you could easily find a women playing football and many other sports they never used to play better

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. Women have been demeaned in pro sports

Traditionally men have dominated the world of sports however in recent year’s women’s sports have become popular and with their new found popularity, women’s sports have evolved into marketable leagues of their own.

Scientists were concerned for women’s safety, warning that physical activities may cause the woman's uterus to implode, or riding a bike will get a “bicycle face,” a physical condition marked by “peculiarities,” such as a “pale complexion” and an “anxious

The Lack of Women's Sports Coverage      Can women's sports establish itself as a topic of on-going media and journalism curiosity?  Currently TV stations do minimal coverage of women's sports, while newspapers and magazines do just a little bit better.  In a recent interview with Gary Webb, a sports writer for The Spectrum, he says that "the people have demonstrated that there is an audience that loves hearing about women athletes.  After all, they are somebody's kids, sisters, and moms"

Turn on a sports channel, odds are it is a male sport or the talking of men in sports playing. The odds that this is true is because according to the Washington Post, “in 2014, ‘SportsCenter’ dedicated just two percent of its highlight program to women’s sports” (Talbi). That would mean that they could go nearly an entire show and only mention women once. Women compared to men in their image of their respective sports is incredibly less. Women are shown as more of an attractive side while men are
