What do you think about this statement? Explain. Male sports are more dynamic. That's why people like to watch them more. What do you think about this statement? Explain. Read the text carefully. Men and women in sports are not treated equally. Although some 83% of the sports today have the same prize money for male and female athletes, there are some where men are paid more than women. Just to give an example, in 2019 NBA league the female salary was $117,500, whereas the male salary reached $37,4 million. Women in professional sports often have to take up part time jobs to survive. This leads to less practice and worse results. Another problem for women in sports is much lower media coverage. TV coverage of female sports is very low, 2 to 7% in different countries. Sports journalism in printed media is a man's world. More than 90% of the articles are written by male journalists and more than 85% of the coverage is dedicated to male athletes. Articles praise male athletes for their skill and strength and quite often judge women for their appearance and personal life. This is why sponsors prefer male athletes. A famous female tennis player, for example, earned more prize money than her male colleague, but he made three time more money on endorsement deals. There are other areas of sport where there is gender inequality. In Europe, between 20% and 30% of all sports coaches are women. There is only 14% of women holding governing positions in the sports organisations, such as FIFA. Some organisations have seen this as a problem and are trying to include more women into decision-making bodies in sports. Hopefully, one day this will change.
