Unfair Promotion of Males in Sports Media Brittany Lynch La Sierra University   Unfair Promotion of Males in Sports Media The media has always promoted male athletes in sports more than female athletes. Whether it be social, commercial, movie, or television media, you will always expect to see the male athlete as the main hero. As we run through the history of sports and media we can find that the men took up the majority of the spotlight. When women do finally enter the sporting world they find

women gained the right to vote and over time other states granted females suffrage, in full or in part. Women became influential in elections and had an effect on who was elected into Congress. These members were then more obligated to vote for a women’s suffrage amendment to the Constitution. Finally, in 1920 the 19th Amendment was passed in part due to these members of Congress and because women had played a major role in supporting the country during World War I. The amendment stated that nobody

1848, the first gathering for women’s rights in the United States was held in Seneca Falls, New York. 2.

the landscape of the sporting industry will be profoundly transformed, not only in the games and the athletes themselves but in the way we consume them as entertainment. Brunt’s argument on how the new modern tools that have been developed (in association with sports) have changed his view of the “all American dream” of sports consumerism, is outdated. We do not agree with Brunt’s arguments towards the future of sports consumption, and the supposedly negative effects that will come in regards to

sport in the United States with one out of eight people playing at least once a week. The sport has recently been skyrocketing in popularity and becoming prominent around the world as well.

Mo’Ne Davis: 13-year-old, right-handed pitcher for the Taney Dragons, a Little League baseball team. Hailing from Philadelphia, the young talent has been the topic of discussion on many sports-related headlines for her phenomenal pitching ability. She is able to throw 70 mph fastballs and strike out many batters, most being young boys around her age. I wonder what it means now “to throw like a girl.” I see so much of myself in Mo’Ne. I should ask my mom if I have a long lost sister. It’s just a notion
