2631 Words11 Pages

The purpose of the essay My essay is about Andy Gray and Richard Keys both of them Sky Sports presenters that got caught up in a sexism scandal, well actually not just one but I will go through these in my main part of the essay. I will start with explaining what sexism and sexism in sport is all about? We consider that inequality represents a majority group taking the position of above or superior and one minority group taking the position of below or inferior. Sexism is the male sexes superiority over the female.

We mainly use linguistic …show more content…

In Richard Keys ' case, probably driven by the fear of being replaced by a talented, attractive, female (even heterosexual women would probably prefer to look at Gabby Logan than Mr Hairy).As for Andy Gray, it never ceases to astound me that he managed to persuade one woman to marry him, let alone four. gandee 24 Jan 2011 14:49 Please, man 's world? How about diving or rolling around with every contact. a bunch of primadonnas footballers are. How many times you see a player diving for a penalty instead of taking his chances and just going for it. That’s not very manly is it? And all the abuse we distribute in our everyday life is mostly because we are sour loosers. Women and men are exactly the same when it comes to that. The lineswoman did a good job that day and don 't think she really cares what those two idiots have said, sour losers remember. And I can 't understand this thing in England where everybody gets into everybody 's business. Just leave the whole thing alone. if the ref wants to take action against those guys she should. if she needed our help she would ask for it. Does anybody care what she thinks? She’s just had another day at work BigBananaFeet 24 Jan 2011

  • Gender Inequality Of Women In American Football

    1714 Words  | 7 Pages

    American football demonstrates a hegemonic masculinity and the media tends to emphasis that idea. In a greater scale, the media associates sports with men due to its aggressive nature. Women who try to change that perception tend to be given negative media depiction or none at all. In fact, there are female football players and associations but its due to the lack of media depiction, it is unknown. These mentioned ideas are seen in the article, "The Nail Polish underneath the Hockey Gloves" by Kelly Poniatowski, "Examining stereotypical written and photographic reporting on the sports page" by Paul M. Pedersen, and "ESPN 's SportsCenter and Coverage of Women 's Athletics: 'It 's a Boy 's Club '" by Terry Adams.

    “ No person… shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination” ( Wong). Within sports, many females get discriminated due to being “weak” or less interesting to watch. Some get less pay for having not equal amounts of participation as men do. The main issues are whether or not females and men should receive equal pay grade and whether if one does not participate as much which should they get the same attention.

  • Gender Stereotypes In Sport Essay

    1060 Words  | 5 Pages

    The sport domain has been traditionally considered an exclusive masculine field. Historically, women could not take part in sport until 1900 and they were allowed to join sports that did not provide physical contact or strain. Nowadays, although females can take part in every sport activity, gender stereotypes in sport still exist (Friedricks & Eccles, 2005). The persistence of gender stereotypes in sport could determine a phenomenon known as stereotype threat (Steele and Aronson, 1995; Steele, 1997; Steele, Spencer & Aronson, 2002). Stereotype threat consists in a suboptimal performance within a task related to a judgment dimension along which that particular social group is “known” to be “weak”.

    Gender Inequality in sports is an issue as old as sport itself. I choose this topic because we as a society seem to sweep it under the rug time after time. Women in sports however, try to address the issue only to have it go on deaf ears, leaving them to continue in the sport hoping something will change. Over the last few decades, strides have been made, but he sport remains an institution dominated by men. These women, whether they are in sport or in the business world, want a fair chance to be on the same level as their male counterparts.

    So why is there still debate about gender equality in sport? Women and men compete in separate events in all sporting disciplines apart from Equestrian competitions and in mixed doubles teams in Badminton, Tennis and Ice Skating. My essay will look at the different arguments around whether or not women and men should be allowed to compete together in sport. One of the most compelling arguments for why women and men should be allowed to compete against each other is that in today’s society in which women and men are equal and can do the same things, they should be given the same opportunities in sport.
