In the past, men have dominated the world of sports however female athletes are starting to push through and are gaining popularity at a fast rate. Male athletes are known for their riches and have gained popularity based on the amount of money they have. For example: male basketball players. One of the highest paid basketball players right now is Kevin Love, he makes approximately $21,165,675. But, what about a female basketball player? Sylvia Fowles, one of the WBNA players only made $109,000 in
Should men and women compete against each other in sport? I would like to look at this subject because I am passionate about gender equality in sports and how women should not be discriminated against just because of their size or strength. Feminist movements in 1970 were just the beginning for breaking down gender stereotypes and women being excluded from sporting events. However, organisations are still discriminating against women in many sports due to a clause in the equal opportunities legislation
raised about if men and women should play against each other in sports. In many sports people play socially together but many do not play professional but that shouldn't very much when it comes to men and women. Mixed sport teams do exist, like mixed doubles tennis, but this is another matter as the same number of men and women are in the team and it is one died team against another. In the remainder of this essay I will be discussing the physical differences between men and women, how this could affect
Women in Olympics Women did not just get to participate one day to the next just because they said “can I play?” Can you imagine how much the men would have laughed if their daughter/sister/wife asked if they could join the game. “No you can nott, you are a girl.” And that was the end of the argument. It took women a long time to get to where they are today. Women today participate in the Olympics, world cups, competitions. But we are still not there yet all the way. But how did women get there
Women have been fighting for equal rights for years; however, the progress toward this goal has been slow and steady. In the eyes of society, it is an abomination for a woman to equal a man. Women face sexism on a daily basis and often judged by the attire they choose to wear, the way they conduct themselves in public, or even by their speech. Although women are demanding their social rights, they still do not receive the recognition that the men acquire on the professional level. The difference
there are two different games (summer and winter) with more than 50 sports, 80 countries, and 10,000 athletes total. However, these games did not start out this way. The ancient Olympics started in around 776 BCE in Olympia, Greece. They were devoted to Ancient Olympian gods, and served as a religious festival to honor Zeus. These games occurred every four years, and it brought people from all around Greece together. The sports that were played were running, long jump, shot put, javelin, boxing
that is not common. You do not commonly see girls playing on boys’ sports teams. This is because not all girls have this opportunity to do this. This is not allowed in some schools or sometimes even towns. But say if number 26 was not on the team, would your team have not won the whole thing? Girls should be allowed to play with boys. They should be allowed because, one reason is not every sport has a girls team available. Also women do not get paid as much as men do so if they were on the same team
Sun Female sports should be valued as equally as male sports. To begin with, in sports, gender discrimination plays a huge role in this. Women are not recognized for sports and this could be due to different reasons such as the media and so many others. Females participate in sports due to the fact that it is their passion but they are not recognized the same way men are and this is due to the stereotypes, which have been created around the world. Another major reason why female sports is not valued

Even the “father” of the Olympic movement, Pierre de Coubertin was against women’s participation in the Games. Nevertheless, nowadays almost half of the athletes are represented by women and we do have a lot of examples of incredible female Olympic victors in various sports. But what was the attitude towards women in sports on the origin of the modern Games – in Ancient Greece? The main aim of this essay is to explore the extent of women’s presence at the site of Olympia in the period of Games and
