Sports channels would do well to increase the coverage of female athletes, not just because it is the fair thing to do, but because there are many people who admire women’s sports and know about women like Abby Wambach, Serena Williams, Simone Biles, and so many more, and increasing coverage would increase their viewership. An increase in publicity would also create even more interest for female sports and, ultimately, increase payment for female athletes.
Athletes like Abby Wambach have started a movement. Now it is our turn to continue what they started and demand that sports channels must change their attitudes toward female sports and finally provide female athletes with the opportunities for the recognition they deserve.
I agree!
Nothing would be a better disruption to the sexist status quo than moving away from an economy-based measure of value and worth, which is pretty much the only reason women's sport is undervalued and sold as subpar. Capitalism and patriarchy go hand in hand and I'm done with both.
