Women's participation in sports has greatly changed over the past 100 years as they have begun participating in traditionally male-dominated sports, breaking down stereotypes. There are both health benefits and risks associated with women in sports. The media portrays women in sports both positively and negatively, which can influence sponsorships and participation levels.

Gender Inequality and Sports
This document discusses gender inequality in sports media coverage and salaries. It notes that while women athletes are achieving great accomplishments, they receive significantly less media attention than their male counterparts. This lack of coverage means fewer female role models for young women and less incentive for women to become professional athletes when potential earnings are so much lower. The document argues that increasing funding for women's leagues and improving media coverage could help address these inequalities.
Gender And Sport
A thorough overview of issues, attitudes, and perceptions related to gender, particularly women and LBGT\'s in the arena of sport.
Sexism females in sport and media coverage
Australian media gives much less coverage to women's sports compared to men's sports, with only 9% of sports coverage dedicated to female athletes. This lack of exposure means that young girls receive fewer role models and are less likely to participate in sports. Additionally, the media sometimes objectifies and sexualizes female athletes rather than focusing on their athletic abilities. Increased fair and unbiased coverage of women's sports could help improve female participation rates and promote positive body images.
Homosexuality In Sports
The document discusses issues of homophobia and inequality faced by gay athletes. It notes that gay athletes often face hostility, verbal and social abuse, and feel pressure to conceal their sexuality. This is due to stereotypical views of masculinity and femininity in sports. The case of former NFL player Esera Tuaolo is examined, who endured abuse after coming out. Resolving homophobia requires education, embracing diversity, and raising awareness of the experiences of gay athletes through advocacy events.

Sports participation of Pakistani women
An analysis of Pakistani Womens sports Participation , the factors that are discriminating against women
feminist approach within sports
Women face significant barriers and discrimination in sports. They receive far less media coverage and lower pay than male athletes in comparable sports. Sexism and sexual harassment are also prevalent issues, with women athletes and reporters facing inappropriate comments and unwanted advances. However, some progress is being made as advocates push for greater gender equality and representation in the traditionally male-dominated world of professional sports.
Initiatives shifting the balance in the sports sphere
Sports has long been considered an "unsuitable activity for ladies". Female athletes still receive less media coverage and less money. Yet, sport is a great way to develop confidence. SO which are the initiatives shifting the sports balance?

Sexualized Women in Sports - Spears
This document discusses the portrayal and treatment of female athletes. It argues that women are often sexualized and objectified in sports media coverage, which focuses more on beauty and femininity than athletic skills. Female athletes also face pressure to conform to expectations of femininity and are stereotyped based on gender and race. While opportunities for women in sports have increased due to laws like Title IX, unequal and sexualized media coverage of women's sports remains an ongoing issue.

Gender & development
This document discusses the history and challenges of women's participation in sports. It notes that while women participated in some early Olympic games and other historical events, modern Olympics did not include women until 1896. Sports have long been viewed as a masculine domain due to social and cultural stereotypes. Women athletes face challenges such as lower pay, less media coverage, and stigma around issues like menstruation. However, the document also discusses some efforts over time to promote women's involvement in physical education and challenge gender stereotypes associated with sports.
Ali Forum 2 Program
The document is a program for the 2nd Annual Muhammad Ali Center Athletes and Social Change Educational Forum being held on March 21-22, 2014. The forum will explore the roles and responsibilities of athletes in social change, and how they can serve as advocates and educators. It will include presentations on topics like athlete activism, the role of media and educational institutions, and using sport for development. The schedule outlines the various speaker sessions to be held over the two days covering these topics. The goal of the forum is to advance understanding of how athletes can promote social change and impact communities.
Men, Women, And Team Sports
1. Both men and women can benefit from team sports through the formation of life skills, improved team performance, increased self-confidence and enjoyment of the sport.
2. Traditionally, men have been seen as the stars of team sports while women were encouraged to participate more in individual sports.
3. Today, women increasingly participate in and compete at high levels in many team sports previously viewed as only for men, due to advances in women's rights and Title IX.
SOCI 5309 Term Paper
This document summarizes a research study on media representation of lesbian, gay, and bisexual athletes who have come out publicly. The study analyzed articles from ESPN and Yahoo Sports covering the coming out stories of 17 athletes. Key findings include:
1) The articles often framed each athlete's coming out as a momentous, historic event for both sport and society, presenting them as role models breaking barriers.
2) There were some differences in how male and female athletes' stories were covered, with more focus on challenging stereotypes for lesbian athletes.
3) Overall, the study provides insight into how media representation has evolved from ignoring homosexuality in sport to more positively covering coming out stories, though some stereotypes persist
Women and Bicycling - WTS WNC - TPD & Friction Shift
The WTS Western NC attendees listened to our presentation on women and cycling, which led to a conversation about why many women choose not to bike for more of their trips. Women of Facebook, what keeps you from using your bike for day-to-day trips? Or, if you do, what got you started?
Is it equitable online
The document analyzes the coverage of men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments on the Fox Sports website. Researchers found that while men received 53.8% of coverage and women 46.2%, the quality of coverage differed, with men's articles focusing more on personal stories and women's articles only recapping game facts. The study suggests media needs to improve coverage of women's sports by including more in-depth stories and photographs to better engage readers.
Gay & lesbian athletes
1) Traditionally, sports have been viewed as a hyper-masculine environment that reinforces traditional gender roles and heterosexuality. However, lesbian and gay athletes now participate openly in sports.
2) Lesbian athletes generally face more acceptance than gay athletes due to cultural perceptions of masculinity. However, both groups face stigma, discrimination, and lack role models in professional sports.
3) Psychological interventions for lesbian and gay athletes include addressing prejudice, promoting community, assisting with identity development, and empowering athletes to challenge heteronormative culture. Consideration of cultural identities is also important.
Chapter 18
This document discusses key concepts and issues in sport sociology. It defines sport sociology as the study of the relationship between sports and society, and how they influence each other. Some benefits of sport discussed are that it serves as a socializing agent through role learning and provides a sense of unity through collective rituals. However, the document also outlines some negative aspects like sexism in unequal funding and leadership opportunities for women, as well as racism in disproportionate representation of racial minorities in coaching and media coverage. Homophobia and pressure to conform to gender norms are also addressed.

The document discusses a program called DISCUSS that aims to promote cultural understanding and develop youth through soccer. DISCUSS is a two-way exchange program between the US and China focused on increasing partnerships in soccer. The goals are to train Chinese soccer coaches, educate on youth sports management, and create dialogue between the countries. The program brings together groups from the US and China to share best practices in developing soccer programs for both male and female youth.Coverage of Women's Sports
This document summarizes a presentation given at AEJMC 2016 about the double standard in media coverage of women's sports. The presentation addressed how college sports editors and desks tend to default to and be dominated by coverage of male sports due to a "boys club" mentality. It provided recommendations to promote more equitable coverage, such as having more women sportswriters as guest speakers, addressing gender issues in sports coverage and classes, and examining who is doing the reporting beyond just the amount of coverage.
On Target
Members of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) participate in shooting competitions alongside able-bodied enthusiasts. For veterans with spinal cord injuries, shooting provides an activity they enjoyed before their injury. PVA chapters host local and national shooting events that allow veterans with disabilities to compete equally with able-bodied people. The events provide veterans social opportunities and a chance to pursue hobbies from before their injury.
Eagle Forum Education And Legal Defense Fund Efeldf Is A
The document discusses issues with Title IX's proportionality test, which requires colleges to maintain gender proportionality in athletic participation. It argues the test has resulted in the elimination of men's teams and small women's teams. This is harmful to both men and women athletes. The proportionality test should be replaced with an interest-based test that allows colleges to provide teams based on actual interest levels among students.

EDU 6203 Signature Assignment
This document discusses the roles and rights of student-athletes in higher education. It examines several court cases that have helped define these rights, such as the right to free speech (Marcum v. Dahl) and the right to compensation for injuries (Rutledge v. Arizona Board of Regents). Additionally, it explores the stigma faced by student-athletes and debates whether they should be considered students or employees. While athletics can benefit universities through revenue and recruitment, student-athletes often feel additional pressure to perform from coaches and the assumption that their athletic role comes before their academic role. The landscape of higher education continues to change, which will also impact how we view the roles and rights of student-athletes
Final Diversity Project
This document discusses the sexualization and exploitation of female athletes in media. It notes that while male athletes are portrayed as powerful and strong, female athletes are often seen as sexual objects. Various quotes from experts highlight how this diminishes female athletes and the self-esteem of women viewers. Examples are given of the differences in uniforms and media coverage of male and female athletes. The document calls for society to change how it views female athletes and give them equal attention and respect.
