From my experience, watching male sports was more fun than female because the games were aggressive and intense. Although I try not to believe that, it is something that has been instilled in our brains since we were born. “Men are stronger than woman.” From my past fieldwork of soccer, I noticed that the male soccer games were longer than our woman soccer games. When I asked my coach why this is, he responded, “Men are just able to run for a longer period of time than girls can.” I felt anger and rage towards him and male soccer athletes. I thought it was so unfair, so I took affirmative action and petitioned to the head of the league. It took a year or so, but it worked. I fought for what I wanted and what I thought was fair. I had a lot of benefits from standing up for my female soccer league and a lot of people admired my hard work. Because it’s been about four years since they made my leagues soccer games longer, it has been a culture lag. It took a while to get comfortable with this
