The Womens Big Bash League is all set to commence in just a few days. We hope that all the womens teams perform well and show the girl’s power. You might have seen that women face several difficulties than males. Our female athletes don’t get much coverage from media due to less popularity. Sports for women are facing innumerable challenges across the globe.
The male athletes are earning millions in a year. On the other hand, female athletes are struggling to fulfill their basic needs. In this 21st century, we all say that there is no gender inequality. But still, it is followed in every sector of the world. Men’s sports achieve immense popularity and revenue from the beginning. But no one is ready to talk much about this issue.
These are some reasons due to which women sports are struggling in this century.
Irrelevant Media Coverage
The prominent reason behind the less popularity of women sports is inappropriate media coverage. Media officials think that sports for women don’t need much coverage, which is wrong. Media officials believe that men’s sports are more exciting and popular.
They don’t even try to appropriately cover women’s sports. Yes, but they are much interested in gossips. They will surely capture some private things of athletes which is wrong. But no one takes action against it because everyone wants to hear entertaining gossips.
Difference Between Men’s And Women’s Sports
Female athletes can also compete at higher stages and beat male athletes efficiently. If women are playing soccer and cricket, then of course society will not give attention. On top of it, there is no proper media coverage, fewer replays, etc which makes the game slower. When it comes to men’s sports they have high-quality commentators, perfect cuts of shots and ample of replays.
It’s easy to understand that society will love men’s sports. The perfect sports for women are tennis, ice skating, and gymnastics, which doesn’t need a team. Therefore they don’t gain much popularity. Men are physically much better, but it doesn’t mean that women’s sports should lack behind. This is one of the reasons where we can have hours of debates, but it never comes to an end.
Few Sponsors For Sports For Women
When it comes to sponsorship, you can hardly see that women teams are sponsored by companies. Yes, it’s a fact because companies also sponsor athletes for name and fame. Men’s sports have higher production values due to which companies are benefited. The major problem is our society which never takes a step and supports women’s sports.
Initially, we should come forward and motivate female athletes to show their power to the world. If we take a step, media, sponsors and other individuals will also start encouraging female athletes. We don’t have to see the gender if a woman shows her skills perfectly, ultimately our country is benefited.
The problem is not that we don’t watch women’s sports; actually they don’t get a chance to prove themselves.
