Sports Oppression In Women And Its Effects

By Toni Vang


Avid sport fan or not, we all have to agree that there is something great about different types of sports. They can be relaxing to watch and even exciting. Depending on how you view it, you can even see a sport event as a form of inculturation. Among different trends, it is one thing that has survived the test of time and continues to gain popularity all over the world.

The idea of playing what you love best can be tempting. But apart from the good things we see about this industry, there are stories which may not have been given much attention but is affecting some of the players and their performance. Sports oppression is among these things. It is directed to different groups, events and individuals and can be real nasty.

Many reports related to this issue involves women who are participating in mens sport. Aside from the differences in strength, there is this dissatisfaction issue about their performances as well. If you ask yourself now, its no surprise if you know more men players than women.

But while there are strong critics against women who join men games, we see a lot of successful ones. It is undeniable that we have a bunch of awesome gals out there who reshaped the outlook of some people when it comes to games that are originally created for the guys. Now, the popularity of females in different events are growing.

Still, the impact of this sort of oppression is notable. This is especially true to ladies who are just starting off their career in the sports industry. Good for those who have already established their names. But for starters it can be a constant struggle of proving themselves worthy.

We might not see it often, but the continuous oppression has a direct impact to the confidence and performance of the female players. Those who manage to get over the issues are the ones who emerge victorious while those who got overwhelmed are those who continues to struggle. The status quo is still showing a male dominated sport arena and for women, showing their skills every time they play is a chance to establish their position.

At present, we now see more if not equal appreciation given to women and men. Still, it remains a question if there will come a time when equal footing in all events will be possible. For one, the media seemed to be more interested on games that have guys on them. When it comes to major, global leagues, we also see male players dominating the stage.

There is not instant way on how one can change the opinion of another. If that person is a strong critic against women playing men games, then all the more reason why you should not add fuel to the fire. You cannot shake hands with someone who has a closed fist.

If you are considering a career in the sports industry, you have to brace yourself for the issues. This place is not as easy as you think, nor as luxurious and friendly as it shows. There are drawbacks. And unless you are willing to take on the challenge, you better reevaluate your purposes first.
