Our ‘single story’ portrays the gender discrimination between men and women in which women are not on par with men in terms of sport and in particular soccer. Families and governments often discourage women from participating in soccer be-cause of its aggressive and masculine nature. Another reason, albeit not so present in today’s society, was that men in ruling bodies had feared women surpassing them in the sport. This deterred the women’s game from progressing further. Media also plays an important role in shaping the opinions of society towards women playing soccer.

Soccer is not only about kicking the ball that most of us can do, but the soccer is complex game to play. It has some rules to obey it.

In professional sports, for example, female athletes are paid less than their male counterparts, even if they execute better than them.

People fight for everyone’s right to vote, to study, to have a religious belief or to not have it, etc. However if people have been able to gain this rights, then why is it so different to fight for the right to marry whoever you like? Thomas Paine once said “Whatever is my right as a man is also the

They used the latest scientific knowledge, skill, and talented players to increase their chances of winning. In this match, they promoted the Brazilian style of free-flowing play with proper attacks. Brazilians believe this style was innate in Brazilian players and can be even be seen at the club level with players on Flamengo (Nadel 76-77).

Messi's nickname “the machine” is widely used to refer to people playing football well and being able to dribble the ball or score the way Messi does (Doeden, 2010). Ronaldo has also become a world-famous football player whose tactics impress and are followed by other players. However, their fame is not restricted to football sphere only. Many cloth line industries across the world seek the services of these two players by asking them to market their designer wears or other products (Doeden, 2010). Such recognition of Messi and Ronaldo points out to their peculiarity and outstanding

Above all, it seems pertinent to remember, even if women behave in a certain way, which is often unintentionally that there is no reason to disagree with their knowledge and “real” interest for soccer. This is the reason why, it is crucial how we handle stereotypes in terms of our behavior, language and prejudiced perception towards

“EVERYBODY ON THREE, 1 2 3 WARRIORS (everyone yelled). Coming off the sideline I felt that this game was going to be a devastating loss, but still had the gut feeling to play as hard as I could.

Some police departments use physical standards to legal discriminate against female candidate and this should not be allowed because even if it’s legal discrimination that’s still discrimination.

As a sport studies scholar who has focused on researching the experiences of both women and men in relation to sport labor migration practices, I found this text to be very helpful. Prior to the publication of this book it was difficult to find research and/or information on women athletes as international sport labor migrants.
