As a girl who once played Field Hockey and loves to watch sports, I agree with Landon, its not that the TVs air more male sports due to sexism but because they are more popular and fun to watch. People like to see action not saying women's sports are not action packed but, men's sports allow physical contact and speed, which is something that viewers like. '''From my personal experience I love football and lacrosse, two sports that are action packed, with the physical contact, speed and the skill work. Just because men;s sports are aired more doesn't mean that it has to do with sexism, its just the general population prefers to watch male athletics.''' -- Amanda Taub | As a girl who once played Field Hockey and loves to watch sports, I agree with Landon, its not that the TVs air more male sports due to sexism but because they are more popular and fun to watch.

| + | Like Kellye, I wasn't surprised by the amount of lesbians in sports. What gets to be frustrating though is when, as a girl, you play a sport and close-minded people believe you're becoming a lesbian. Believe me, it happened to many girls on my teams in high school. Also I agree with Amanda about why women's sports aren't covered by the media as much. Women's sports tend to have a lot more rules about being aggressive and not as fast. -Kendall Haring | ||
