Ever heard of the movie A League of Their Own? I personally have never seen or heard of the movie until I had to watch it for class. The movie A League of Their Own is a film that tells us about the recounted account of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). The movie talks about how the girls were view as entertainments, then eventually as athletes. The movie also talks about why the AAGPBL is not around anymore.
I find it degrading to women that the “girls were viewed as entertainment, and eventually as athletes.

Part of it is that people know that girls cannot compete physically against men. There are more professional male sports then there are professional female sports. Also if one looks at the average built of the two different genders they are quite different. It would be quite hard to compare an average male to and average female in the same sport.
After the war ended and the men’s league resumed, AAGPBL ended. This happened because the situation changed, and the United States and the allies were winning the war. Also, Roosevelt said that men’s baseball will not be shutting down. By men’s baseball not being shut down they do not need the AAGPBL anymore. Another thing is that the women were not as equal, and the men needed to support their families. Plus there was no room for girls in baseball one the war is over.
I think it was unfair that the AAGPBL had ended. As one could see in the movie many of the girls enjoyed playing baseball for a living. By the girls play baseball, it got them out of the kitchen, or out of a job that paid $0.10. In that time period when AAGPBL was around the girls did not play professional sports. If that was different though, I feel like there would be more profession sports for
