Throughout the years, women have been discriminated in different number of ways. When it comes to casting of votes, they have been discriminated. When it comes to having equal rights as men, they are also not given this special chance. There is yet another sector in which these women are being looked down upon although not much attention has been paid so far. This is sexism in sports industry.
Additionally, there have been numerous complaints in regards to how women are treated in this sector as they are constantly verbally ambushed and sometime even sexually harassed in the physical aspect. This is usually from their male colleagues and coaches who take advantage of the fact that they are the minorities; hence, affecting the spirit of these athletes in terms of their competitiveness.
Also, in the past years, complaints have been got about the kind of clothes that the females wear during the sporting activities. The clothes are tight and small mainly supposed to attract the male gender. Some are very small to the extent that they make the sportsmen uncomfortable. Efforts should be made to accommodate all types of people such that they do not dress in attires which are not pleasant to them.
Also, many females suffer verbal and sexual abuse from their male counterparts. There are many cases which have been reported of female sports persons been subjected to sexual abuse. They are either called sexual abusive names or they are mishandled sexually. Others have been raped and this is an issue that needs to be deeply looked into.
In some cases, females are recruited into games in regard to their appearance. Most of the games have a tendency of paying less attention to the talent but instead take interest in physical attractiveness. Conversely, men do not face this challenge as there has been no case in history where the physical appearance of the male players has been taken into consideration. This has by far much led to female oppression within this fraternity.
The football game has for so many years over the past been considered to be a male category. When the same game was introduced for the lady participants, it was not taken seriously due to the fact that women were not used to playing this game. When women are chosen to take up the posts of referees and coaches, their decisions are at most times looked down upon and doubted.
In the golf arena, sexism is highly pronounced. This is seen as a mans territory. It has gone to the extent in which some clubs are created to be strictly for men. Women are not allowed to subscribe to these clubs. Many of the competing golfers were questioned concerning these issue and they seemed reluctant to speak about the matter.
In conclusion, there Is no benefit of giving an upper hand in this games. Equality should always be emphasized. Rules and regulations should also be developed which fight sexism at all angles. Lastly, people should see both male and female as equal and all games and job opportunities should be open for all.
