Practices Of Sexism In Sports Seen Currently

By Leslie Ball


Apparently there is need for people to know the forms of typecasting in sporting. You one sex being discriminated against due to the sex and not their inherent worth. Treatment of women in these activities is dissimilar to that of male. However, the discrimination is not based on abilities. It focuses mainly on the femininity. Outlined are the types of sexism in sports prevailing in the modern sphere.

Women players are judged based on their faintness in strength, size and general athletic capability. There should be no exception to such form of cast. However, this has led to resulted to fewer women in the male subjugated games. The best thing is rather to give every person a chance irrespective of their sexual characteristic. There should be no activity meant for a given person.

It is possible that one will find this form of cast against women. This is as a result of women engaging themselves in some form of games. For instance, women are being referred to as tomboys and lesbians for participating in football or basketball. This is dominant with the viewers of these games. This will never be admissible. In its place people should learn to view them positively.

Media plays a big role in our society today. It will either influence viewers on both sides. Majority in media portray women athletes for their attractiveness. What they leave behind is their merits in athletics. The main reason is because they view them as best for their business. Media should work to eliminate stereotyping rather that encouraging it.

Similar to the male colleagues, ladies makes huge money. However, men still make much more than them. This is because men get more validations than them. This leaves them far much behind. It means that sponsor organizations value men more than women. And that is why they give numerous ratifications to men. This prevails despite superb performance of women in the fields. It leaves them like they have no role to play in our society.

The problem of whether there are female athletes games needs an answer. Seemingly it exists but it is not covered by the media for some reason. Ninety nine percent of what is feature on the media is for male. These games are left behind without a noble motive. They should at all cost work to feature all parties without any bias. Their activities of airing one side are a total depiction of narrow-mindedness in sporting.

Another nightmare form of machismo is in the refereeing. This is where men are given a priority to women in refereeing. Men are regarded as stringent and very effectual in this job. On the other hand, women are said to be less stringent and very ineffectual. This is total bias on one side. This also cuts across the salaries given to both parties.

Having understood these then one will be able to know every matter regarding to chauvinism. Both the sexes are not given the same treatment. Discrimination is depicted in all forms by these practices. Every responsible person should embrace equity across all the spheres.
