SEXISM IN SPORTAlthough sport has the potential to function as a unifier, a guide to life and an aid to a healthy lifestyle, it also has significant potential to facilitate discrimination, hooligan encourage and repress the ethical perspective. I believe that Humphreys' view, while unconventional, deserves careful consideration as a reality because of sport's generally innate impartiality towards gender discrimination which, given that we are in the 21st century, seems outdated and therefore unjustifiable. The 2012 London Olympics were the first Olympic Games. in the history in which women were allowed to compete in all Olympic sports. There are 164 different Olympic sports and before the IOC's decision in 2009, women only participated in 124 of them. The first Olympic Games took place in 14 BC. BC, meaning it took over 2,000 years for the sporting world to begin to recognize women as equals. Furthermore, the first female leader of Fifa was only elected in 2013 AND the word “sport” was used for the first time in the 21st century! This raises the question: is imposing quotas the only way to combat underrepresentation? Although my main focus in sexism in sports is on women, I believe that the uncontrollable problem caused primarily by stereotypes also affects men, for example cheerleaders, dancers and gymnasts are often considered homosexual and are therefore subject to homophobic discrimination simply because of the sport they practice. (Similarly, while the world is ready to enjoy the elegance displayed by women in sports like ice skating, "tomboy lesbianism" is noted by female hockey, football and cricket players. ) In an ideal world, all opportunities, including sports...... middle of article...... if media coverage of sports is devoted to women's sports and without increased public awareness of talent of women, we cannot expect the situation to improve. Sport is one of the most powerful tools. to inspire a country to believe in its people and unify its nation. In this way, sport certainly has the potential to improve the recognition of women as equals in the world, but I believe it is currently not doing so. We cannot let something that has the potential to be so beneficial to our lives become dangerously and morally blinding. William Arthur Ward said, “Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records", with this in mind, the hope is to keep women motivated so that they continue to triumph, surprising the world until finally, men realize that we are as capable as them and deserve the same benefits from the sports industry as they do. they do.796 WORDS
