Each team gets paid on their success within their genders. Therefore, women should be treated the same…
Many people, men and women, view the world of sports as a man’s sphere, not to be intruded or invaded by women. Women are in sports and they are going to remain there until they have reached the equality they have been asking…
Although there is still no real equality regarding women in sports, and it is counter cultural to have women in male dominating sports, we have not stopped the process in becoming better educationally, and skillfully within this male dominating…
The women of the team believe that should be paid equally for the basic reasons of they win more, but also because they are being paid significantly less than men and they believe in 2016 this should no longer be an issue for them. That it is time the federation pay both genders…
The women’s sports do not attract as much attention as male sports do. Kieran McCauley said in College athletes shouldn’t be paid, “The NCAA reported that 28.3 million viewers watched the 2015 NCAA Men’s Division I National Championship between Wisconsin and Duke. They also reported there were 3.1 million viewers for the 2015 NCAA Women’s Division I National Championship between Notre Dame and UConn.” Would that mean that you should pay the women less? This would bring problems because the women would feel mistreated even though they do not bring in as much money as male sports do.…
Men have always been expected to earn more than women because that’s who society has shaped. Men are supposed to be the breadwinners while women are supposed to be the caregivers. In sports, it is said that it’s industry has the biggest gender pay gap. Take tennis for example. While Serena Williams is making almost 30 million a year, Roger Federer is making almost 70 million a year.…
According to CNN, the average salary for a WNBA player is $72,000, while the average NBA player salary is $5 million dollars. These numbers are also uneven at the college level. Men get $190 million dollars more per year in athletic scholarships compared to women. An unequal treatment of women comes from the women’s professional hockey league. The Boston Blades represent some of the world's best women hockey players but are completely undermined.…
Women athletes should be paid similar salaries to their male counterparts. Salaries for professional athletes should be based on their performance and a reflection of the hard work they put into training. Female athletes put in the same amount of time and effort as men, if not more. For example, Alex Morgan trains twice a day for three to four hours. Her annual salary is $450,000.…
In the 1980s salary discrimination was a big issue especially in the NBA. By the 1990s it was on a steady decline. In baseball and football in 1990s there was hardly any evidence of salary discrimination. With this information salary discrimination, in sports is not as big of a problem as it once was (Kern, 2000, pg. 126-127).…
From the game the players are benefited but there are some other people, like the sponsors, educational institutions which are the higher level. There are also some people who work as service workers and staffs who are in the lower level of the basketball game system. Gender is not an exception in the basketball games. Gender discrimination is seen when there are less women in different parts. The women teams don’t get much fame and the women coaches don’t get as much paid as the men even if they are from the winning team.…

Females should undoubtedly be allowed to play on male sports’ teams. In this world of inequality there are few things we can do to alleviate that. For example, allowing females to play on male sports’ teams would be a great step. This has already been happening around the world, but it’s been causing controversy due to their, the girls, physicality and how fair it is then for the boys in return. If we don’t allow women to play then we can never truly be an equal and free nation.…
Gender Inequality in Professional US Soccer In the United States, the professional opportunities, which are available for women to play soccer, are small compared to men. Not only that, but after having more success in competitive play, they do not earn an equal or higher pay than men as well. Soccer has been primarily a male dominated sport with more opportunities and funds allotted for development, earnings, and venues. Even though the US Women’s Soccer team has great success and support from the soccer community, they continue to struggle with equality in regards to their earnings, recognition, and the type and degree of punishment they receive when breaking rules or guidelines.…
Women are often paid much less than men because they do not generate enough attention for the public. If television stations aired more women’s sports, they would generate enough to fans to raise more money and receive high paychecks. Men sports teams are considered to be more popular and more exciting than women’s sports. If women’s sports were aired on the radio and television shows as often as men’s, they would have a chance to make more money. Also, men have excessive amounts of money given from salary to free gifts from big advertisement…
Women are being treated differently because of the sex and lack of ability. I believe along with a bunch of others that women are and can be just as good as men in basketball. Men don't believe women can handle the physical activity or the ability that the men in the NBA have, but that's not true. Women are…
