Seeing Morgan’s, my classmate, presentation yesterday really struck a chord with me! \u00a0I thought it was fantastic how she was able to create such a moving multimodal piece that inspired me, and I’m sure will inspire others, to want to make a change. \u00a0It is very true what she said about the media not covering women’s sports and talking about them differently. \u00a0After all, just now I googled “women in sports”, and the first thing that popped up was “the hottest women in sports”. \u00a0Why are these women being judged on their looks and not on their athletic ability? \u00a0Why is it that beauty and how women look always have to be tied to their worth first on everyone’s mind? \u00a0Instead, we should be focusing on how they play.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the enactment of Title IX,\u00a0a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in federally-funded education, including athletics, has allowed for more\u00a0athletic participation opportunities and more equitable facilities. \u00a0But women and girl athletes have yet to reach parity with men. Women are still only about one-third of interscholastic and intercollegiate athletes. \u00a0Also, women college athletes receive less than 26% of college sports’ operating budgets, and less than 28% of college recruiting money (Women’s Sports Foundation).<\/p>\n

The Boston Globe wrote a very interesting article<\/a> about how people ignore women’s sports, even though they are just as, if not even more, talented than their male counterparts. \u00a0Hopefully, one day women will bring in just as much attention as males do when it comes to sports, but unfortunately that day does not seem as though it is coming any time soon.<\/p>\n
