Women's sport
This discussion was inspired by logical_tsunami of Cantonment Public School and College in Bangladesh, who wants to talk about women’s sports. They have won five stars for having their idea published!
In many countries, the popularity of women’s sports is on the rise. In their discussion suggestion, logical_tsunami mentioned the “outstanding” standard of women’s cricket and football in Bangladesh.
However, there is still a long way to go before equality is achieved. For example, in many cases, women’s sport is still given less funding (money) than men’s.
So, who is most responsible for supporting women in football?
Fans, the media, governments or someone else?

The media plays a crucial role in supporting women in football by showcasing their various experiences.
The media highlights both well-paid and underpaid players, making the world aware of the challenges they face. Without media coverage many wouldn't know about women's football, hindering its improvement and promotions.
I agree because...the media plays a crucial role in supporting women football.
While government support is important, the media effectively highlight and broadcast the governments efforts aiding in the promotion of women football.
Fans also contribute significantly by utilizing the media to showcase their support. I believe without media coverage, the government's initiative and the fans' barking wouldn't reach a wider audience.
In comparison between the government, fans and media support, the media stands out as a key player ensuring women's football receives the attention and support it deserves.
Brilliantly said ambitious_panther, the media, fans and government contribute largely to the support of women's sport, they use their publicity as a tool to attract the support of influential persons in the sport world.
I want to especially talk about the support the fans provide. Fans encourage the players not just during the match on the field but also on social media, they spread awareness on the importance of women's sport and indirectly encourage gender equality in the society. The effect the fans make on the public has the ability to affect multiple areas that are experiencing gender inequality.
However, I believe WOMEN themselves should also be responsible for their support, if these women athletes take the initiative of going to schools to support female students and to create awareness that they can be whatever they want as long as they work towards it, this will encourage them and also preparing a gender inequality free generation.
I agree because... I believe that the fans and the media play a crucial role in promoting women's football. Without fans, there would be no audience for the games, and without media coverage, people wouldn't be informed about the matches and their schedules. The government also has an important role to play in supporting and funding women's football. Before our female footballers were unknown but now they are very popular like Azizat Oshoala who won African female footballer of the year. Their popularity is also due to their own efforts making their matches exiting to watch.
I think that your suggestion is right for many reasons. I believe that women have the same abilities to play this sport as men. They are strong too and they have very good cooperation with the other members of the team. Also by fans and media's women football will be known all over the world. So, for these reasons we all have to support these ideas!We are all equal and women can continue playing football if that makes them happy!
Brilliant comment friendly cherry I do say that women are as equal to man as ever all they need to do is push on, woman have the same capacity as men physically and mentally it just depends on how they use it and the focus and determination they put into it.
Nice point charming_artist, even though if it comes to sport matters, majority among sport fans think that a man is better than a woman. But currently speaking, we have a lot of good sport participants. For example, there are some sports that I suggest women are always better than men because whenever I try engaging myself in such a sport, I find it difficult to improve in that sport, but when I saw a girl who is younger than me playing the same sport,I feel impressed for a girl who is better than me. I then think about how perfect she would be when she engaged in that sport. So I am very happy for women to participate in sports. THANK YOU.
I agree because, if women are better than men, they should be honored in sports. women put their effort to play the to achive goals . Women try to see if they've got all they aim for.
THANKS.
I agree because... Most of the times when people look at sports they support the person that knows how to perform well, being fare doesn't , means we should give everyone the same thing, you can't give Ronaldo and a beginner.
I support you when you say that women should be allowed to play football if it makes them happy but where I will like to oppose is where you say Women are equal with Men. I'm not trying to be gender bias in anyway please, don't get me wrong but the truth is that if you do your research well and observe properly, it is quite evident that men are more strong and rigid than women and that is fact. The beauty of men's sport is in the strength and agility they put into the game while the beauty of women's sport is in their flexibility and the passion and joy they derive from the game. Women are different from men and their difference is what makes them unique in their own special way so instead of women trying to mimic men and show that they are equal, they should accept the fact that they are different from men and continue been special in their own way.
Ineffable_wasp, you are right in that, generally, men are physically stronger than women because they have different bodies. However, you must be careful when discussing "equality", which is usually a term used to describe how people are treated and perceived. It is also not correct or fair to say that only men are strong and agile or that only women are passionate and flexible. This kind of language enforces negative stereotypes and is based on opinions rather than facts. You are right that there are differences between men and women, however, your descriptions contain gender biases. What could you do in future to help spot - and stop - your own biases?
I see your point but when I mean strength I don't only mean physical but also mental or emotional or whatever we could say it. Don't forget giving birth to babies needs all the strength your body has and lately I have seen in YouTube that an experiment was conducted when Men imitated the pain of birth. They couldn't withstand.
Additinaly at my school football team girls can join and play with the boys and I must say that some of them are the best goal scorers. It's all what we were raised with what beliefs and that why not change?
I agree because when the woman play any sport it makes her happy also the women the are same as men they have the right to play any sportAlso, the country or the government must support them by promoting them on social media or the in news. For example when women play football, fans support them by attending matches cheering for them. Also , the media plays important role by recording their achievements.
I disagree because if you pick out certain women they have amazing skill and just as good as any men take it from Sam Kerr she is unbelievably skillful and really shows that women can be just as good as men
I agree because this example has actually shown me that women to can also be skillful as I have made my research on her and have been inspired by her skills and ability, during the course of my research, I have also seen other great women players like Sophia Smith who is a very fast and skillful player, Megan Rapinoe and even Carli Lloyd, these are women who have made a strong impact to encouraging women in sport and have also showed that men can do, women can also do.
THANK YOU.
I agree with you because I think that all of those plays very significant role in supporting women in football . Fans support the women by attending the football event and cheering them . Secondly, media also plays very crucial role by recording achievements, and telling incredible stories about women in sports which helps raise awareness and inspire future generations. Lastly , goverment helps and supports the women in football by ensuring equal opportunities, promoting gender equality and making good policies for women and many more.
I side with you friendly cherry women have the same capabilities as men in thinking and physically they can also cooperate very smoothly with each member of the team women cannot be neglected because of their body stature but rather are equal to all men and have every right to play the sport that they wish to participate in without the media and fans quarrying them.
I agree with charming_artist because women may have equal strength with or without taken enhanced drugs. It would only be fair when we put these things into consideration. As such, women should be allow to be themselves.
You are right, there is an adage that says anything a man can do, a woman can also do. Women are capable of doing sports just as well as men do, some women that have made their name in the field of sports are; Marta, Birgit Prinz, Abby Wambach, Michelle Akers and others. In my opinion, if female footballers are encouraged and celebrated ,it will encourage other young girls that they also can make great achievements in the field of sports.
I agree because... Women also have right, they are strong confident and even smart that why they have right to participate in any sport activities such as.
1.vollyball.
2.football.
3.long tennis.
Football is also played by women,we are all equal in some ways,the reason I said in some ways is because when we go for war the mens can win that is why we don't send women to war but they can participate in other activities thank you 👍
I agree with you because, women are also ment to play different sports not only men and if we continue to think in that way ,women will feel cheated. Women are very strong and nice in teaming up with their partners in games and when it is being published people will be very happy. Also,
women can do any sport they like as long as it is pleasing them that could be called gender equality.
Hey, I totally agree with you. In my opinion women can play any type of sports just as good as men. The main problem is the media and news portraying women`s sport as less popular and interesting compared to men sports. This is what should be changed- the way women sports are presented to society. And the problem with women sports being less popular can be solved by increasing governmental support in that direction. Better financial supoort may definitely play a huge role when it comes to the way society sees women in sports.
Hi steadfast_effort
I agree the fans and the government play a very important role in promoting women's football. I personally think that the government should support the women more and put more resources towards the women's football. Some people have undermined the ability of women I believe that there should be public enlightenment on the benefits of sports and also the effect of not participating in sports they should encourage female to participate more in sports activities not necessarily football the should learn to participate in any kind of sports the like. As we know Azizat Oshoala did not just become a good footballer overnight it was because of constant practice that she was able to win the award that she won, She also had fans who supported her throughout her journey in the football sport.
Hello! It's great to hear your perspective on the importance of support for women's football, both from fans and the government. Indeed, investing resources and promoting public awareness about the benefits of sports, including football, for women is crucial for encouraging participation and fostering talent. Azizat Oshoala's success is a testament to the impact of dedication and support from fans throughout her journey. By highlighting such stories and advocating for increased opportunities for women in sports, we can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable sporting landscape. Thank you for sharing your insights!
Hello steadfast effort your suggestions were great. But, I think you're forgetting that, media is also responsible for supporting woman sports. The present age is the age of digital technology. Currently any information is available through media. As a result, any information given to the media is spread to everyone in an instant. 84% of people in the world are fans of women's sports. In a short time, so many people can know about women's sports only through the media. It was through the media that we came to know about Bangladesh women's victory in the football game.So, I think it is important for the government and the fans as well as the media to support the women's game.
Thanks.
Interesting ideas. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?
Hello, topical talkers.
1)What evidence do you want?
2)How can I add any evidence?
3)which evidence do you want?
(Please, don't reject this comment)
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
To give evidence for a point you could share where you found your example and explain why the source is reliable. Or you could find another piece of reliable information that backs up your argument. What else do you think would count as good evidence in a debate?
Hi, topical talker Chloe.
I think that media is helpful for Women's sports.I also think that there is no substitute for the media to bring information about women's sports to everyone. Media can deliver any information very quickly. If you want to know the importance of media in providing information about women's sports, you can read some books or articles. Hope that I have been able to answer your question and provide evidence.
Thanks.
I think that the media contributes a lot towards ensuring that the good facts of women's football is disposed into the minds of the viewers or listeners. I also think just as people respect men sport, the media can also do well to also make sure that they create a balance by also bringing news about the women's sports and create awareness fairness. This is because all sports matter and all gender matters to. One should not be BE ON THE SPOTLIGHT AND THE OTHER PAID LESS ATTENTION TO.
I do agree women aren't aren't really supported in playing sports so the media and government largely contribute to the popularity of women sport the media is a very essential role it can affect how people support or are against the women sport the fans also contribute the government contributes largely to the publicity of the women sport
In a situation where the government has control over the media they have been funding the media and they do not like sport how would you think that they would push women sports?
I'm not sure about this. The Nigerian president Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave his own contribution during this AFCON to super eagles to appreciate their effort for reaching the quarter-final, semi-final and final. If it could be women cup Nigeria would not discriminate between men and women he would still be present in every Nigerian game.
I agree. The media does play a role in broadcasting their events. Broadcasting sports like these helps support them quite a lot and has highlighted sports like this quite a lot. Without the broadcasting and promoting the media does, most sports wouldn't be as supported as they are. I also agree that fans take up a big part too. Without a fanbase, you can't necessarily spread the word of the sport or team or whatever it is. With a fanbase, funds also come and looking for more promotion methods becomes easier. I feel like the media is doing a good job in promoting the sport and showing how much potential it has in women's history.
I agree with you but we are all forgetting that it is not only the fans, media and the government that help girls get into sports but also it is the educational facilities like the primary schools that would really help. It would also help if there was soccer camp for girls.
Yes I agree because every gender should be treated fairly and we are all the same in our unique ways
I disagree because as women may have the same amount of skill as men they still have a disadvantage when it comes to physical skill as men are scientifically stronger after puberty and as it is grown men and women the men would win according to research.I think in sports like ping pong as that is all skill wise
I agree with you precious_swan, media plays a critical role in not only woman sport but in sports in general, but also fans are as equally important, because they are there to cheer the club, to motivate them to inspire them to do better. So both are very important to sport's.
I agree to creative_pesonality because... Wemen can engage in any sports because they can even help men to give them some advice if they know what men don't know about sports. THANKS.
I disagree because... I think the media highlights and favours well paid players and more well known players more instead of the more underrated players . however I do agree that women's football and many other women's sports has come along way due to the media helping to boost there exposure .
Agreed because at the end of the day, professional sports and athletes are there just for the entertainment of other people. So in order to entertain enough people and get their support and all, one has to spread the news of the show, match or whatever and get people to watch it. The media is the important key factor for that.
amazingly put precious swan but as government havent done much to support and fund womens football I think it could be up to parents and school to try and get more girls to play football in the future so then the government will take notice in the recent popularity of womens football so then government will take action for womens football and then they can support it financially and in popularity
I agree because... Not only the media but everyone in society but in many sports not only football. Nowadays a lot of people do not even know when women are playing if not they read it or they were told. And like you said a lot of players are underpaid showing that not all players are rich. And that shows how the challenges are getting tougher and tougher.
thanks!

I agree the media influences everything now. They influnce businesses and if they support women's sports people will too. We need to understand though that we are social media . Everything about it is us we need to stop sitting back and relaxing and doing nothing when we can sit back, relax, and do something for our women, our queens, our birth givers.
I agree because media made many people know about that women play those sports or have competitions in it.
Challenges appear to be part of the human experience. In the course of history, very little has come easily. The progress that women have made in sport in the United States over the course of the last 100 years seems remarkable for the amount achieved in so little time. In relation to the other advances made in this century, including men's sport, that achievement dims. While women have made great advances, they haven't, in comparison, come that far. It would appear, from the outside, that men's sport will forever have all of the advantages, all of the rewards, all of the prestige, while women's sport is left to perpetual inequality.Yet, not only are there sports that are considered "non-traditional" for both sexes, the obvious majority of these sports are "traditionally" recognized as women's sports. While there may be a very small number of teams of male synchronized swimmers or synchronized ice-skaters, there are virtually no integrated teams. Of the number of sports considered non-traditional for women, among them football and wrestling, women have gradually opened the door into these sports. In most states, girls even have the right to participate on boys' sports teams if there is no girls' team or even a girls' team which plays by the same rules because of the historical limitations on women's sports.However, in most states boys are not granted the same rights because there has been no such "historical limitation" on their participation in sports, according to the Women's Sports Foundation. While this may seem to defy the motivating spirit behind laws like Title IX, many view it as an "acceptable" situation. Boys who do participate in sports such as synchronized swimming, cheerleading and evenly equal arena is furthered. The more the current conception of what is permissible for either gender as well as what is possible is challenged, the closer we come to a re-examination of how unequal the history of sport has been for both sexes and the actions that need to be taken in order to prevent such inequalities from existing in the future. The more individuals take on challenges like this the more they force society to closely examine the way they think about what makes people and their activities different in the first place.
In my opinion the main cause of this discrepancy between female and male sports is because male athletes are more promoted than females.
Females have a lot of potential to perform in sports considered "male sports" such as football or hockey.
They are not as advertised as male ones, in result they don't get enough funds to be able to perform at their maximum potential. Also less funds equal fewer training possibilities.
Another reason might be that male athletes, after a certain age, when they are considered retired from their sport they have the option to become coaches, in comparison to females. This opportunity brings them even more fame resulting in more money.
I think that the most responsible person of supporting the women's on football is the coach because he can makes
the women's powerful and believe in their selves.⚽️⚽️⚽️In opposite the fans make the women anxious and embarrassed as a result they can't play well. Finally, I think that the coach is the only person that can make the women strong!!!!!
Hi!
Honestly, I think we're all responsible of the few support of women in sports, but overall, the media has most of the "fault".
When we turn on TV, we can't just decide what we want to watch, we just watch whatever is being broadcast. In the sport channels, most of the times there are sports in which only men appear. If we get used to only watch male sports, it's more probably for that watchers to get used to them. If other day, instead of men, there are women, since they don't know them very well, they will change the channel. Those in charge of statistics of the television programme, would inform that women programmes have less visualisers than male ones and that they are loosing incomes and viewers.
That's why, the support of women in sports decreased in the last years.
Little by little, women are recovering territory and power.
In my opinion the fans, government,the medias plays a vital role in women football. Mainly the medias plays a vital role . Media help to make a woman to play football because media talks about their talented in social medias and all the people's can know about that woman who want to play football or who are able to play football in international or national level.
Fans are also important for the players of fan and media does not support them they can't be motivated also or there will be no one support them. In many countries in the world in women's sport governments do fund but they used to do less funding than men's. So I would like to say that women can also play better than a man. Many people used to think woman can't do this not a game of women this that they used but women can also do.
Interesting points. Why do you think women's sport is underfunded in comparison to men's sport?
You see, the reason why men's football is more funded than that of the women's is.
Firstly, in the soccer aspect, the matches played by women are seen as boring not because the women do not know how to play or because they are not putting in efforts. The thing is the media coverage as compared to the men's soccer is very poor, there are fewer camera angles which means fewer cuts on shot and less exciting commentary, it is not paid attention to because people think that if the women deserved better coverage, they would have gotten it, afterall the media teams are searching for jobs to do.
Now the women's football lacks all these things that are seen as essential in making the game lively and more captivating to people's attention. The men's soccer has all these things that is why people continue to spend money in financing the men's soccer sport.
Another thing is people have gotten so used to watching men's football that when they start watching the female's the light difference in physical ability becomes so glaringly obvious this is another reason why people find it hard give into the female sports. Research has proven that the number of female coaches has dropped almost by 40% as compared to how many they were in 1980 and females have less play time as compared to the men.
It would be unwise of me to think that all these problems can be solved overnight and that is not why I am writing this, I am writing this because I want to push this conversation and see how our personal efforts can work towards improving the athletic quality of female sports.
Although the government, media and fans all contribute to encouraging women's sports, I would like to say that women themselves play a role in this too. Sometimes people are prevented from doing what they'd love to do by an inferiority complex. They may feel like they aren't good enough to do it, and then discourage themselves from doing it. Also, a lot of people, women in particular, who try to achieve something are criticized by others, even fellow women, and this may discourage them from making their dreams come true. A lot of women didn't let opposition stop them from achieving their dreams. For example, the first female doctor in Nigeria was Chief Elizabeth Abimbola Awoliyi, the first female doctor in Nigeria. At the time in Nigeria (precisely the year 1938), women were not exactly seen as important members of society. But she didn't give up and ended up not only achieving her dream, but also giving aspiring women a role model to look up to.
Another problem though, would be gender inequality. Some people look down on women and don't see them as capable of doing things that formerly men could do. I'm not saying that women can replace men. Every gender has its purpose in the society. Where the problem comes in is where one gender is seen as more important or better than the other. That is wrong. Everyone is unique. My point is that people should stop underestimating women and give them a chance. We should support women who want to venture into sports if that is what they want to do.
Interesting points raised. Why do you believe women may not feel as good as men in sports?
I don't believe that women may not feel as good as men in sports. Women can be just as talented, skilled, and passionate about sports as men. It's important to recognize and celebrate the achievements of female athletes. Gender should never be a determining factor in someone's abilities or how they feel in sports. Everyone deserves equal opportunities and support to excel in their chosen sports. Let's cheer for all athletes, regardless of their gender!
Women have proven time and time again that they can excel in various sports and achieve incredible feats. However, societal factors such as limited opportunities, unequal resources, and stereotyping can sometimes create barriers for women in the sports world. It's important to address and challenge these issues to ensure equal opportunities and support for everyone, regardless of gender. Let's continue to support and empower female athletes in their pursuit of greatness!
While it is true that women have faced challenges and barriers in sports, it's important to recognize that these obstacles are not inherent to women's abilities or potential. Factors such as societal norms, stereotypes, and unequal opportunities have historically impacted women's participation and representation in sports. However, there has been significant progress in recent years towards gender equality in sports, with more recognition, support, and opportunities for women athletes. It's crucial to continue advocating for equal treatment and opportunities for all athletes, regardless of gender. Let's celebrate the achievements of women in sports and work towards a more inclusive and equitable future!
Nice comment caring_spring.
Women should never be underestimated or limited in their abilities and potential in sports. Society needs to challenge and overcome the barriers and stereotypes that have historically held women back in sports. Equal opportunities, resources, and support should be provided to all athletes, regardless of their gender. Let's celebrate and empower female athletes and continue working towards a more inclusive and equitable sports landscape.
Well said caring spring,Stereotypes are widely held and oversimplified beliefs or ideas about a particular group of people, often based on characteristics such as race, gender, ethnicity, or other social factors. These generalizations can be inaccurate, unfair, and contribute to biases, as they do not account for the diversity and individuality within the group. Stereotypes can lead to misconceptions, discrimination, and perpetuate harmful assumptions about individuals based on group affiliations."Why is it that females participating in activities traditionally associated with males face criticism, while males engaging in female-associated activities do not receive similar scrutiny? This double standard can inflict significant emotional pain on women, leading to tragic consequences such as self-harm, as they are unjustly perceived as lesser individuals, unaware of their intrinsic value and capabilities."but this is who they really are "I am to be a commodity,part recreation,part reproduction,I am to be a currency ,a prize to pride over masculinity, i am to be all am told to be, but today am everything am not suppose to be.am a glitch in societal programing,am becoming a bug in the system,l am cracking the matrix wall,am wrecking balls, smashing doors, mashing laws.Am demanding,intruding,overcoming the lies and the prejudice and no am not easy ,am busy.making waves, making ways, making space in this place,in this world,am empowered to empower,I inspire,representation,inclusion and mutual respect.
I am direct impact on society,I am EQUALITY,I am woman."(this master piece reflect who the women are,so it right time they are given their equal share in the society.)
I believe that women may not feel as good as men in sports because generally, sports are seen as masculine activities. Sometimes, more funds are put into men's sports and men are mostly more supported in the sports sector than women. Some sports, such as figure skating and gymnastics are more feminine than masculine, but the more popular sports, like football are linked more to men.
At this point, in my opinion, it all boils down to stereotypes. Some sports are tagged as men's sports, others as women's sports. So when any gender tries to do the other, they get discouraged, which isn't fair. Although women are more affected by this, there are men out there that want to venture into a sport tagged as feminine that can't do so because of the views of the society.
And so, I feel that if there is any reason that women do not feel as good as men in sports, then it would be due to the higher attention paid to men's sports than to women's sports and also to stereotypes.
You are absolutely right.
Women themselves have the power to support what they are doing. When they feel that nothing can touch them negatively they can achieve everything they want. We need to overcome past beliefs about women and their role. We have seen that women are successful in many jobs . This is equality for me.
Actually, the government, media and fans all contribute to encouraging women's sports, I would like to say that women themselves play a role in this too. Sometimes people are prevented from doing what they'd love to do by an inferiority complex. Actually it is true that we don't allow women to do what men can do. But some women have the zeal to do what men can do, especially in sport like football, in Nigeria, women football club is called the super falcon, while the men own is called the super eagle. For example, the first woman to win an olympic game in Nigeria was Chioma Ajunwa. At the early 1900s people said that women at not important more than men, if they have educate their women they will later end at kitchen. But now they say that if you are educating a man it means that you are educating a person, but if you are educating a woman, it means that you are educating the whole world. Chioma Ajunwa didn't give up and ended up not only achieving her dream, but also giving aspiring women a role model to look up to. In the world today they do gender inequality. Some people look down on women and don't see them as capable of doing things that formerly men could do. In the world today, that women can what men can do. My point that i am proving is that people should stop underestimating women and give them a chance. We should support women who want to venture into sports if that is what they want to do.
Thanks.
I think women's sport is underfunded in comparison to men's sports because of the lack of coverage. In many parts of the world, it is a common occurrence for women to receive lower pay than men for performing the same job, and this trend extends to the realm of professional sports as well. Here are a few examples of the pay gap in sports.
I'm not sure about this because Tennis is one of the few sports where women in the United States, on average, make more than men .The average earnings of U.S. women ranked by the Women’s Tennis Association were higher than the U.S. men by the Association of Tennis Professionals. Mostly , the top female player in the United States earn more than the top male player. We do have to stop the pay gap in sports but first we have to stop the gender gap , because gender gaps is something that is more important than pay gaps , beacuse when we look at the number of women working in sport at every level ,women workers are very low in coaching, especially at elite levels . A recent count of leaders in the top 20 sports by participation in England showed that across the roles of CEO, Chair and Performance Director, just 23% were women. LET US CHANGE THE GENDER GAP FIRST THEN LETS TALK ABOUT PAY GAP.
Thank you .
Women sports are underfunded due to people not having interest in it, because they underestimate the ability of the women. For instance, if you ask football fans which match they will prefer to watch, is it men football or women football, 80% will choose men football because they consider it more interesting than female football. Also, they think that men play better than women in the sport. Due to this
reason, many sponsors have invested more in men sports than women sports.
Brilliant point made hilarious_morning, the way women have been underestimated is not beneficial to anyone. Women possess alot of potential yet they are usually neglected in matters concerning men, there are just few countries that have a female as their president and this shouldn't be so. I believe women should be more involved not just in sports but also in politics, there are numerous things that can be done by women and a few of them have proven that. A good example of these women is Margaret Hamilton who was the lead software engineer for the apollo mission to the moon, the mission probably wouldn't have been possible without her. This is something a man didn't do, I believe women are capable of alot more. I think a topic should brought up about women in politics too.
Women have been undermined because they are the 'inferior gender'. Women's rights are abused indirectly or directly, unconsciously or consciously. They are considered unskillful because in the last centuries, men have been doing things better than they can. Women are judged too quickly. They are considered boring and are only fit for chores and parenting.
Centuries ago in Africa, women were not permitted to participate in anything, even decision making. I think women should be treated as equal as men.
Women should protest and prove the worldwide mindset of 'women are the inferior gender' wrong because every human, male or female has equal rights. They shouldn't be silent and abuse their own rights by themselves.
I agree with you because women do not get the ability to do what they want to do because of their gender. They are seen as housewives and they should cook and clean all the time. It is not fair for them because in some cases women play better than men in certain sports. Women should be able to speak up about the inequality they are around and the community should be able to support them.
In my opinion I think that women sport is underfunded when compared to men's sport is because women's sport has been seen as less competitive, less skillful and less exciting than men's sport, and women athletes have faced discrimination, harassment and exclusion from many sporting opportunities and rewards.
Another way is the lack of media coverage and exposure for women's sport, which affects the visibility, popularity and profitability of female athletes and teams.
The gender gap in sport funding is a result of a vicious cycle that is hard to break. To change this situation, different actors need to work together, such as governments, sports organizations, media outlets, sponsors, educators and advocates. They need to challenge the norms and structures that make women's sport less valued and supported, and to create a more fair and inclusive sporting culture.
Hi everyone.
Women sport are underfunded because of the following reasons .
1. Social stigma: In some societies women are not allow to practice sports.
2. Lack of experiences.
3. Lack of access: Women have 1.3 fewer opportunities to play high school sport.
4. Lack of positive role model .
5.cost: special protection and security have to be provided to women.
I think that, women's sports are underfunded because those sports lakes the essential component that it needs to captivate peoples attention. let's take football as an example, women's football is not captivating peoples attention because most people watch men's sports more than women's sports. abd most games are scheduled the same time as women's sports which makes people choose and it is unfair. men's sports should rescheduled and people should put more funding to women's sports.
THANK YOU.
The underfunding of women's sports is often rooted in historical biases and societal norms that prioritize men's sports. While women's sports may face challenges in captivating attention, rescheduling men's sports events and allocating more funding to women's sports can contribute to narrowing the gap. By actively promoting gender equality in sports and providing greater visibility, we can create a more equitable and supportive environment for women athletes.
Definitely, The reasons you have mentioned are absolutely correct.
In my view, Another reason of this inequality can be the low number of participation of women as compared to men. If women themselves participate in high numbers, the organizers will be forced to organize more competitions and give women more opportunities, which we hope will over time bring about the equality we all aspire to have
I think women's sports is underfunded compared to men because of :
* The quality of players : In the football aspect ,even though women players are skilled, they are not as skilled as their male counterparts. For example, the Australia Women's National Football Team, who is ranked 12th in the world, lost 7-0 to team of amateur 15year old boys . So even women feel underappreciated, the quality of their players is not as good as those of the men.
*Low viewership : Also in the football aspect, the women gain less viewership than men . This might be a result of lack of passion like for instance, women are not willing to put their body on the line to able to tackle someone as the men do. Another reason for the low viewership is people spend more time taking about unfairness of pay between women and men than actual watching the football itself. For example, I remember watching a news show where a group of feminists, who were talking about how unfair it was that the winning team of the Women's World Cup were earning around $10.2million but the men's team being paid $42 million but these feminist did even know one of the two teams playing in Women's World Cup Final .
All in all, I think that women football need hype around it to be able to be at least close to men's football.
By the way, this is just my opinion
I strongly agree with you because it is not equally fair that the ladies who do better than the men, receive less funds for their matches. Why not support them strongly so that they can bring pride and joy to the country? If this underfunding becomes too overwhelming, ladies might eventually give up because there is no one available to support them even when they go through blood and sweat. On top of that, ladies might not feel appreciated because the people that come to watch their match anywhere they are or on the pitch are few but for the men, it is uncountable like a trillion!!!
I feel the reason why women's sport is underfunded is because men's sport is more widely watched and recognized so most investors may feel they may lose their money or investment because people hardly watch the sport, that is basically the reason why the women's sport is underfunded.
Thank you!!!!
I feel the main reason Women's football is probably underfunded is because of-
1) Mentality of people
2) Media Coverage
3) Habit
4) The Government
The biggest pillar to a sports is the fan following, some of those fans might think that women's soccer wouldn't be as entertaining or action packed. I am not that into football but the few times I have watched it I found that both women and men football are almost equally entertaining. I do watch cricket, badminton and tennis though and I have noticed the same result in them. These stereotypical ideas are based on false pretences. The blame for which should probably go to the media, to some extent. Media is supposed to cover both men and women sports equally, but sometimes that is not the case. Media is not able to build the same hype for women's sports as much as men's. Plus the Government doesn't release as much budget for women's sports in most countries. It is their responsibility to release equal funds if they want to maintain proper equality.
To look upon another major reason we must go back to the fans, men's football has been around since couple of years before women's football. People are creatures of habit, once they like something they hold on to it, nowadays even though women's football has been popular for a couple of years, everyone was into men's football since way back so they may try to watch another form of it but it migh not interest them as much leading to less popularity and less funding.
Hello Alicia!
I think there can be many reasons as to why women are given less funding than men.
1. Lack of awareness - Most people still do not know about most of the women players and their matches. For example- India hosts the IPL- a cricket tournament every year for men and India also hosts WPL - the same cricket tournament but for women. However, the number of people watching IPL is so much more than number of people watching WPL. This is because most people do not know such a tournament is being held. So the government might decide to fund those matches that are watched by the majority.
2. Prevailing prejudices in society - As I said above, most people do not know about the tournament. However, those who do, think women's cricket is in no comparison similar to that of men. People still think it wouldn't be as fun to watch and women might not play well. Even the government consists of a majority of men, so due to similar prejudices they might give less funding.
3. Habit among people - Ever since sports started, people have been watching men play all these sports. Now, even though women have also started playing, people have a habit of watching men. The government sees what people are habitual of and decides to improve men's sports as much as it can. Hence men are given more funding.
Other than this, there can be many more reasons but I think these are the main ones.
I think the women's sports are less funded because they dont have a huge fan following. And as there is not much participation in sports of women, there are not much people or organizations who care about this section . There might be many more reasons about it but currently these are the reasons i can think of.
Your observations touch upon several factors contributing to the underfunding of women's sports. The lower fan following and participation levels certainly play a role in attracting less funding and support from organizations and sponsors. Additionally, societal perceptions and historical biases may influence the allocation of resources to women's sports compared to men's sports. Addressing these disparities requires concerted efforts to promote gender equality in sports, increase visibility and support for women athletes, and challenge existing norms and biases within the sports industry and society as a whole.
I think the underfunding towards women in sport comes from how much they bring into a sports channel or website.
Since mens football has many more people watching they tend to bring in a vast amount more than the women. Across the 2023 - 2026 period mens football is expected to bring in approximately 11 billion US dollars. This is a large amount of money due to the amount of media coverage and matches that they play. The number of tickets sold also adds to the amount of money they bring in. If the men are bringing in such a significant amount of profit then they will be provided with funding based on their revenue.
Whereas in womens football they have less spectators at their matches therefore having less tickets sold. They only made 32 million pounds in the 2021/2022 period. This is significantly less than what the men make annually. If the women are bringing in less revenue then they will not receive the same funding that the men have.
So in conclusion, the funding that a football team receives directly correlates to the amount of money they bring in. If women had more media coverage then they may begin to make more and therefore recieve more funding to help make their team better.

Your analysis highlights a common argument regarding funding disparities in sports. Indeed, revenue generation is a major factor in funding allocation, and men's sports often attract larger audiences and generate more revenue than women's sports. Increasing media coverage and investment in women's sports could help address this gap by boosting their revenue streams and consequently increasing funding for women's teams. It's a complex issue with multiple factors at play, but increasing visibility and support for women's sports is certainly a step in the right direction.
I highly agree with this comment. Women can play the same sports men do if not better. That just shows how much a woman can do as a man. It shows strength, courage and determination. It shows that if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything. No matter how hard you may fail or feel upset you should never give up you should always chase your dreams and be who you are!
I think media plays a vital role in taking women football players to a wider audience. But if media is able to project the records and achievements of women players in the same manner as those of men,women football matches will be seen with more interest and it will have a better reach. Women players should be treated with better care. They should be paid on par with their male counterparts.
I feel like the media is the most responsible. The women' s sports community is not getting the attention they deserve. Despite their remarkable achievements in breaking world records and delivering captivating games, TV networks do not prioritize the airing or promotion of women's athletics to the same extent as men's.
Why do you think this is the case?
I think this because people feel that women are traditionally suppose to be in the kitchen and because of that they might not be skilled as the male so promoting them might be risky move to take .
I completely agree with you, vivacious_flower, that the media plays a crucial role in promoting women's football. However, if only the media supports them, it may not be sufficient to gain the support of the society (fans). This is because, historically, women were confined to their homes and only assigned to household chores and family responsibilities. Therefore, it is necessary for both the media and society (fans) to support women's football to help them achieve their goals and acquire equal rights in the sport, as men do.
I feel as if social media platforms don't have all the responsibility; just some. I feel this way, because social media platforms come in a big variety. Also, there is multiple users that use social media for different reasons. Either would go to social media for advice, help, make or either watch content, promote a business or a product , or to support someone or something. In this case individiuals whom use social media could support women sports.
As I said before, there are multiple people who use social media to do things. The people that does use the media could spread awareness about the sports, and share information about upcoming events pertaining to the women that play football. However, the media might not be the best choice. I feel this way, because there are multiple people that use these platforms that have several different opinons. Also, there is a possibility there could be a lot of sexism. A whole war might start out as; "Whose better at football? Men:boys or Women:girls. " This would be a chaotic thing going around. Imagine if people world wide start to jump in? The media could either handle it as a positive or negative way. What are your thoughts?
I believe womens sports and underfunded due to sexism because of the media. The media barely ever shows any Programs on women's sports. When it comes to men's sports the funding is through the roof and all you see is men's sport ads. This is why kids believe girls can't play sports. It's important for the Government to represent all genders .
Hi nice_knowledge
Adding on to what you said about the media not usually showing women's sports is difficult to imagine because as a girl who does enjoy sports and wants to be successful. I believe that the media does show both men and women but sometimes it can come across men being programmed more than women. Thank you for your comment.
Why do you think women's sports receive less media coverage compared to men's sports?
You know, it's really unfortunate that women's sports receive less media coverage compared to men's sports. There could be a few reasons for this. One possibility is that historically, men's sports have been more popular and established, so they tend to attract more attention. Another factor could be the perception that men's sports are more marketable and profitable for media organizations. However, things are slowly changing, and there's been a push for more equality in sports coverage. It's important to celebrate and support women athletes too!
You're right, it's not fair that women's sports don't get as much media coverage as men's sports. It's important to recognize and support the incredible talent and achievements of female athletes. One reason for the disparity could be the long-standing gender biases and stereotypes that still exist in society. But the good news is that there's a growing movement to promote gender equality in sports coverage. By raising awareness, supporting women's sports, and demanding more media coverage, we can help make a positive change. Let's cheer on all athletes, regardless of their gender!
You're absolutely right, It's really not fair that women's sports don't receive as much media coverage as men's sports. It's a frustrating issue that many people are working to address. One reason could be the historical preference for men's sports due to societal norms and expectations. However, it's important to keep pushing for change and supporting women athletes. By raising awareness, advocating for equal coverage, and supporting women's sports events, we can help make a difference and give these incredible athletes the recognition they deserve!
Different factors are involved in this, there's the one that people think that men are more athletic than women and as a result of that, they believe that men's sport is more interesting than the women sport. There's also the fact that due to the inequality between both genders, the men sport has gained more popularity and therefore it is broadcast on many television and radio so people find it hard shifting to another. I believe that if more women are involved in the media, people who will also gain interest in women's sport shift to it too.
In summary, publicity in media about women sport will go a long way to increase it popularity and sponsorships.
I believe women's sports receive less media coverage then men's sports because of lack of funding and sexism.
From my point of view the government is the one that oughts to support women in sports. By not having the means needed by women sport associations they cannot enhance their sport and achievements and as a result they don't gain people's interest. That is the most important reason and is what causes all the following problems. As already mentioned from the beginning of time women were discouraged on the sector of sports and that would constitute the reason why the government does neither support nor is interested in supporting women sports.
Valuable_journalist, thank you for your comment.
What kind of support do you think that governments should give to women's sports?
If the support involves money, how much support should be given compared to other government spending?
Personally, I strongly believe that money is not the only support the government should be giving to women’s sports, however I would most definitely include that. From my perspective, the government should help make these sports more popular by giving them more attention on the media, so that more people will learn about them and so that more women will inspire to take part in these teams and maximise the number of participants. On the other hand, as already discussed money also plays a crucial role in enhancing woman sports. The government should dedicate a relatively average amount of money to the women sports teams, by not exceeding other spending that has to be made but also not a lower amount than the one concentrated on men’s sports teams.
Women's football has gained more attention recently, but it's essential to consider the historical context. Society's perspective on women's roles has evolved over time. In the past, there was a belief that women should primarily be at home. However, nowadays, the idea that women can be independent has become more accepted.Women's football started about 18 years later than men's football. The visibility and support for women's football have increased due to changing societal norms. While it may not have the same longstanding history as men's football, the growing interest and investment in women's football show progress towards equality and recognition in the sports world.
Thanks 😊👍
I agree because the football is for men and women too.I think the most important thing for women while their career in Football is the media,because point In all over world in social media that football is very a popular sport.
Well, in my opinion, supporting women in football is a collective effort. Fans play a crucial role in showing their love and enthusiasm for the sport. The media also has a responsibility to provide coverage and highlight the achievements of women in football. Additionally, governments can contribute by promoting equal opportunities and investing in the development of women's football. It's a team effort!
Absolutely! Supporting women in football requires a combined effort from various stakeholders. Fans can show their support by attending matches, cheering for their favorite teams, and spreading awareness about women's football. The media plays a crucial role in promoting the sport and giving it the coverage it deserves. Governments can contribute by implementing policies that promote gender equality in sports and provide funding for women's football programs. Ultimately, it's a collective responsibility to ensure that women in football receive the support and recognition they deserve.
Football is the best sport in the world right now which requires a lot of passion and interest.
Women football is also the best sport in the women field. The rate at which women love football and other sports increases day by day. For instance, the football women played in the 80's is different from what they play currently.
Firstly, people who need to improve the productivity of women football is women themselves, nowadays we hear names like Sam Kerr, Lauren James, Asisat Oshaola, Michelle Alozie and many superstars. The more popular women footballers become, the more the sport becomes popular. They could form advertisements together to improve the sports.
The governments are also useful in improving women sports. They could act as sponsors for the advertisement.
The media could promote sports with advertising through their channels and broadcasts.
The fans should also advertise to families, friends and social media.
Basically advertisement plays a crucial role in improving women sports.
Due to the over popularity of men's sport, people who pay attention to women sports are few. So, the few that pays attention are the fans because they feel impressed by the women. This shows that what a man can do a woman can do better. If the women are given a space in the society they will change the world.
Women sports have been more supported by fans because most news on women sports on the media are the ones shared by the fans.
The government don't sponsor women sports because they think that men are already doing well in that area
Supporting women in football is a collective responsibility, involving fans, the media, governments, and various stakeholders. Fans can contribute by attending matches, engaging in positive discourse, and advocating for equal opportunities. The media plays a crucial role in promoting women's football through coverage and representation. Governments can implement policies to support women's sports, allocate resources, and ensure equal opportunities. Ultimately, a collaborative effort from all these sectors is needed to foster the growth and development of women's football.
Your perspective on the shared responsibility for promoting women in football is well-rounded and inclusive.
I believe that women nowadays have proved that can do almost anything. They managed to balance work, family and friends. Some sports are misunderstood concerning gender but I think that now we can see women playing football. Not so often but if a woman wants to start this sport few will feel this is not right. Of course with the right amount of funding from the government this would help. Governments want to give money to the most popular sports as they also want their teams to bring money when they win. But if media support and treat all sport equally with the same amount of ads maybe this could turn out differently.
The advancement of women in football is a shared responsibility that falls upon a diverse range of stakeholders, each playing a vital role in supporting and promoting the sport. Fans, as one of the key stakeholders, have a significant impact on women's football. Their unwavering support is demonstrated through attending matches, passionately cheering for their favorite teams, and creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere. The enthusiasm and dedication of fans not only inspire the players but also contribute to the overall growth and popularity of the sport.
In conclusion, the progress and success of women's football rely on the collective effort and commitment of various stakeholders. Fans, the media, governments, sponsors, sports organizations, and grassroots initiatives all have a role to play in supporting and promoting women in football. By working together, these stakeholders can create an inclusive and empowering environment that allows women's football to thrive and reach new heights.
This is what i think about women's sport
Thank You
I think the media is why women's sports are funded less than men's. The media mostly promotes men's sports because of this, most women's sports teams go unnoticed which is why they are funded less. The fans also play a role because less fans means less people buying tickets to games. Government funding is important however, if women's sports are not as popular as men's i see no reason for them to be funded more that would lead to money being wasted.
In the past, women were often excluded from various activities, facing significant misogyny. Unfortunately, this discrimination persists globally. However, with the advent of gender equality, positive changes have occurred. Women now actively engage in diverse events. I believe governments should support and promote women's sports, as these athletes serve as powerful motivators for others. In Nigeria, physical and health education, now a major subject, sees more female participation than male, contributing to the promotion of women's sports. Some countries hesitate due to the fear of female dominance, but it's crucial for governments to champion gender equality in sports despite potential challenges from fans or media.
I agree because women are also human beings and deserve to participate in some activities for instance sport. Although, there are still some parts of the world that prohibit or do not allow women to participate in sporting activities. We are expected to practice gender equality and not gender discrimination because women are also humans like us and they do not deserve to be discriminated because they are the weaker gender. Women have had great impacts on humankind, and there is no doubt that sports is one of them.
I would have to say that the media is most responsible for supporting women in football. We live in a day in age where you can see wherever in the world just from a tiny screen. The government does support their teams but they most likely are not marketing for their teams like the media teams are.Social media is spreading the word about the games,training, and wins of the women's teams. According to Nature Journal “Social media plays a fundamental role due to their ability to reach multiple audiences faster and generate a sense of connection with fans” This just proves that social media is most responsible for supporting women in football. It allows people to discover these women and feel connected to them in their own lives. Social media is putting the women in football leagues', people's for you pages and promoting them more than the government , fans , or something else. ever could.
I believe that both fans and media play vital roles in supporting women's sport. Fans contribute by sharing oral information,which help raise awearness about women's sport. As more people become aware, the support for women sport grows on the other hand,the media plays a crucial role in spreading information globally. This widespread coverage attracts a larger number of supporters, ultimately leading to the increased popularity of women sport
Hey! Topical Talkers, in many countries, the popularity of women’s sports is on the rise but e, in many cases, women’s sport is still given less funding (money) than men’s. To find out, who is most responsible for supporting women in football? Let's find out ' why women's sport is underfunded in comparison to men's sport? So while thinking about this question, I think it is because there are several factors that contribute to this disparity. One reason could be the historical and cultural biases that have traditionally favored men's sports over women's sports. These biases may have influenced the allocation of resources and funding. Another factor could be the difference in popularity and viewership between men's and women's sports. In some cases, men's sports have had more established fan bases and larger audiences, leading to higher revenue generation and subsequently more funding. This can create a cycle where women's sports struggle to attract the same level of investment due to perceived lower profitability. Additionally, sponsorship and media coverage play a significant role in funding sports. If women's sports receive less exposure and sponsorship opportunities, it can limit their financial resources. This can be influenced by societal perceptions and stereotypes surrounding women's sports, which may affect the level of interest and investment from sponsors and media organizations.
So we can tell who is the most responsible for supporting women in football? From the above reasons When it comes to supporting women in football, the responsibility lies with multiple parties. Fans, the media, and governments all have a role to play in creating a more inclusive and equitable environment for women in the sport. By showing up, cheering, and advocating for equal opportunities, fans can make a significant difference. The media can also contribute by providing coverage and giving equal visibility to women's matches. Governments can implement policies and allocate funding to support women's football programs. Together, we can help create a more level playing field for women in football.
Unfortunately, I have heard many people saying that the women are skilled in football that's why the women football isn't getting a rise. And that's 101% incorrect as the skill level in women's football is just as high as in men's football. Women athletes dedicate themselves to training, honing their skills, and competing at a high level. The perception that women are less skilled in football is a stereotype that is not supported by the facts. Women's football has seen tremendous growth and improvement over the years, and many female players have showcased their incredible talent on the field.
I don't know why still nowadays people divide sports into men's and women's.
Maybe some will think that men are considered strongr for some types of sports. However women are enough strong to choose the one they want to play. Government and media should support this idea by funding and campaigning in different parts of the world.
Equality should be achieved. But I must say that in some sports I wouldn't like to see women playing because of its aggressive behavior.
Women's sport has made many important breakthroughs in recent years that has helped close the pay gap with the men's sport. For example,a few years back the US Football federation made a huge step in closing the pay gap by ensuring that both Men and Women get paid the same. However, not all is sunshines and rainbows because a lot of steps still need to be taken to guarantee that both genders get paid the same, both in the sport's world and in real life.
Greetings to all, nowadays the standard of sports has increased all over the world. Nowadays there are various international sports. Some of them are - Cricket, Football, Hockey, Badminton etc. In the beginning all these sports were played by boys but now girls are not lagging behind in any way. But even though girls advance in sports and in various fields, they do not get equal status like boys. For example, even if girls work like boys, they cannot earn money like boys. So it can be said that even if girls achieve skills in all areas, they are still given self-esteem like boys. thanks everyone.
Making women's football equal needs everyone to help – fans, the media, and governments. Fans are important because when they watch and cheer for women's sports, it gets more popular. In Bangladesh, women's cricket and football are getting famous because of fan support. When more people watch, it means more money comes in from tickets and TV, and that helps women's teams.
The media also plays a big role. They can talk about women's sports as much as men's, showing that both are important. When TV and newspapers cover women's games just like men's, it helps change how people see women in sports. And governments need to be fair with money. Sometimes, women's sports get less money than men's. But if the government gives equal money to both, it helps women have good teams and play better. So, everyone together – fans, the media, and governments – can make women's football as important as men's.
Hello.
I believe that fans, media and governments are responsible and play a major role in supporting women in football..
Strong fan support is crucial for the development of women's football on both international and national levels, as they attend the games and they encourage women players, creating motivating and positive environment. Also, the fans purchase the merch of the football clubs. That provides a financial support which is essential for the growth and success of the sport..
By featuring women's football in the newspapers, on TV and on social medias, the media helps to promote the sport, it can leads to more opportunities for female players and an increase in sponsorship deals. Also the media coverage can helps in changing the attitudes and perceptions towards women in football, helping to break down the stereotypes and inspire the next generation of female athletes..
I am pleased and inspired that recently the middle eastern governments have been supporting women's initiatives in self-realization and self-development, by creating and implementing policies and laws that promote gender equality which support women's sports programs and ensure equal opportunities for female athletes, also the middle eastern governments have started working with the local communities to develop grassroots football programs for women, plus they have started to host major tournaments and much more..
That's why I think that the fans, the media and governments are all responsible for supporting women in football..
I think everyone is responsible for supporting women in football. Women have had to fight for equality for a long time, and I think football and other sports are a good way to show that women are as good as men. The media, however, should represent women's sports in exactly the same way as male sports, to show equality. Sometimes, women in sports are portrayed as worse or less talented than some male sport players. So, I think the media do play a big part in making sure women are represented. For example, when the ladies football Spanish manager reportedly kissed one of the team, some parts of the media said that it was the players fault, making ladies seem more weak.
But also as fans, people need to make sure that women's sport is a safe place, with no prejudice and sexism, to show that everyone is equal.
Support for women in football is a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders dedicated to advancing gender equality and inclusivity in the sport. Football associations and governing bodies such as FIFA and UEFA play pivotal roles by providing resources, funding, and guidelines to promote women's participation globally. They organize tournaments, establish development programs, and advocate for equal opportunities, contributing to the growth and recognition of women's football on an international scale.
Clubs and leagues also play a crucial role by investing in women's football infrastructure, establishing women's teams, and organizing competitive leagues. Through these initiatives, they create pathways for female players to pursue their passion, develop their skills, and compete at various levels. Coaches and administrators within these organizations work tirelessly to create supportive environments for female players, ensuring they have access to quality training, facilities, and opportunities for advancement.
Furthermore, the support of fans, sponsors, and the media is indispensable for the success of women's football. Fans who attend matches, follow teams, and advocate for gender equality help increase the visibility and popularity of the sport. Sponsors who invest in women's football provide financial support for teams, players, and events, contributing to the sustainability and growth of the women's game. Media coverage plays a crucial role in amplifying the stories and achievements of female players, driving awareness and engagement among audiences worldwide. Together, these stakeholders form a dynamic ecosystem of support, driving progress and fostering a more inclusive future for women in football.
Who is most responsible for supporting women in football? From my research it is the LTA Agency, it has proven to be a leader in world's women's football representing top players and arranging transfers with the biggest clubs in Europe and the rest of the world. Since its inception in 2009, LTA Agency have participated in over 200 transfers involving 95 clubs from 25 countries all over the globe. Barclays and Nike also play a huge role sponsoring the women's football tournament meaning that private organisations are on top when it comes to supporting womens football.
Thankyou.
Honestly between the fans, the media and governments, if I were to pick which was responsible for supporting women in football I'd pick... ALL. Everyone has a role to play in ensuring equality. People may ask, What is the role of the fans in supporting women's' football? Well, when we talk about generating revenue for female footballers, fans can be of total use. Fans are not just important for the atmosphere and support they provide to players, they are also a crucial source of revenue for football clubs. Ticket sales, merchandise, and sponsorship deals are just some of the ways that football clubs generate revenue from their fans. I bet a lot of fans can generate revenue for women football clubs. When it comes to the role of media, they can provide increased exposure for women's football. Female footballers can reach a global audience through various digital channels, including live streaming, highlight videos, and social media posts. This increased visibility can attracted more sponsors who will invest in women's football. The role of government is also really crucial, they can help by encouraging more girls and women to play football. Government can do this by hosting events for women in local schools, hosting local tournaments for women, and engaging with fans of female football on social media.
The set of people who play the biggest role in supporting and funding women's football are the fans. I say this because the bigger fanbase women's sports gains the more profitable it becomes.
Historically, women's football have received less attention and funding compared to men's sports. However, I do not think that this is the fault of the government nor the media.
Obviously, the media would want to publish and raise awareness on new and hot headlines that would garner the most attention in order to gain as much publicity and money as possible.
Since women's football on its own is not a hot topic they would not want to emphasise on it.
When it comes to the government, there is only so much they can do to support women's football.
At the end of the day, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the fans and viewers and nobody else. Nobody can be forced to watch what they do not find entertaining or interesting and most of the time men's football is the top choice rather than women's football,this may be because societal perceptions of athleticism and competitiveness may lead some to perceive men's football as more exciting or intense.
In a nutshell, it's more dependent on the preference of the viewers which is men's football. Although, it's essential to promote and recognise the value of women's football as both genders contribute to the diversity and richness of the sport.
Hi, everyone.
Participation in women's football requires a concerted effort by the media, fans and the government. Football is the most popular sport in the world. And the media will play the most important role for the participation of women in this game. Media is needed to inform the public about how good a footballer is at the game or whether he can play at the national or international level. On the other hand, if the fans do not support the players, then the players will not be motivated to play.
Also, sometimes men's sports are paid more by the government than women's sports. As a result, women are encouraged to participate in the sport of football. But if the government pays enough money for women to play football then women can promote the game of football to the world by showing their skills in the world.
Your point about pay got me thinking! Who usually owns football clubs?
Football clubs are usually owned by wealthy individuals, or corporations, who have the financial resources and the business acumen to run them. Some owners are motivated by passion, prestige, or philanthropy, while others seek profit, power, or influence. The ownership structure of football clubs varies across different countries and leagues, depending on the legal and regulatory frameworks, the cultural and historical traditions, and the economic and social factors that shape the football industry.
Football clubs are complex organizations that require a lot of financial and managerial resources to operate successfully. However, there are also some exceptions where football clubs are owned by their fans, either through membership schemes, cooperatives, or trusts. These fan-owned clubs often have a more democratic and participatory governance structure, where the fans have a say in the club's decisions and policies. Some examples of fan-owned clubs are FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and AFC Wimbledon.

I think that the media is most responsible for supporting women in football. This is because if the media doesn't post about women in football and their achievements then it will be difficult for fans to support them. Fans come from people on social media posting things about a certain topic, for the fans to then be influenced by what they have shared. So without the media sharing their achievements then no one will be able to hear how amazing these women in football really are.
We have seen an increase in the number of girls wanting to play football so having these role models posting their goals and ambitions in their sport will truly help inspire younger generations get involved in the sport and have fun while doing it.
So in conclusion, I believe that it is down to the media to support women in football because it helps create a base of fans to also support these incredible women playing football both professionally and for their own joy.
I think fans, government,the medias plays a big role in supporting women football.
Because media talks about how women football are so good and various.
Also in my opinion i think that women's sport is underfunded in comparison to men's beacause people see or think that women‘s sporst is boring and men‘s sport is entertaining …. One of the most important rules is that games shouldn‘t be aggresive.
Hi!
In my opinion, I think that it is the responsibility of the players themselves that showcases women in football. The reason for this is that when someone plays for a club or an international team, they have been funded by the government, however it depends in how well you play that shines the spotlight on your category of sports. For example: recently, my country's female football team had a match with another country in order to qualify to the world cup tournament. My country ended up scoring the opposite team 5-0, and now people are comparing them to my country's men's international team.
Due to this, I believe it is how good the player plays, when the player gives in her all, that's when the media showcases the camera to her. It is then the job of the media to use grammar to exaggerate how well the player played. Due to the exaggerated words from the media, the fans start to compliment how well the players played, thus giving them recognition.
In conclusion, I think it is how good the player plays on the field that gives them recognition and support.
I strongly disagree with you because in my country, the women even play better than the men so why are they not paid attention to better than men? Everyone should be treated equally for example, if the men are funded £ 1200 that should be same for women. Now in my country, the ladies are our only hope because the men didn't qualify for the next round. I am positive they will do exploit. As it is always said: What a man can do, a woman can do better!!!
Also, I would like to say that exaggeration about a female player's skills is not the best option. What if the commentator is changed and replaced with a frank one? People will be disappointed because they might have thought that player can score goals for them. In addition, that 5- 0 match even proves more that ladies play better than men and they should not be underfunded. You cannot say that if ladies prove themselves they will be funded because this is not the first time that a ladies match has been extraordinarily successful. They always give their A- game so why are they not funded.
In conclusion, in my own opinion, the government should raise f
I believe that the media, the owners of the Sports women's football teams, and sports-based companies have a huge responsibility for the popularity of women's sports. I believe that the media has a big part in it because if it was more posted on social media platforms it would gain more popularity. I believe that owners have the biggest role out of anybody because they have the power to make big brand deals with huge companies. And if they did that more the popularity of it would increase. Not just because their name is on a contract but also because the commercials, the shoes, and the jerseys would all make women's football more popular. Another big part of making women's sports more popular is having Sports companies like Nike, Under Armor, Jordan, and Gatorade. If they reached out to the owners or the coaches to get these women athletes into their commercials they would have so much more popularity and so much more people watching them because the ads would be all over the world for everybody to see.
I would like to share that the media is responsible because I feel like we always hearing about men in football but when it comes to women football there is not much as importance and this let people think that girls can play sports.
I think the media is responsible for women's sport as the media is watching women's sport and posting their opinions on it. I think women's sport should be more popular. For example,i went to the shop to find women's football cards and there where none there! There where just mens,which i think is quite strange as men's football may be more popular but women's is definitely more new and rare so you should see it more.
I think the club,media and FIFA should be supporting the women's football and i think women's football is funded less than the mens football because the men's football generates more money than the womens and the mens football is more popular than the women's
What makes men's football "more popular" than women's football, tidy_market?
Some possible factors are:
1.The historical and cultural legacy of men's football, which has been played and promoted for much longer than women's football.
2.The media coverage and sponsorship of men's football, which tends to be more extensive and lucrative than women's football.
3.The social and economic barriers that women face in accessing and participating in football, such as discrimination, harassment, lack of resources, and unequal pay.
4. The stereotypes and biases that affect the perception and appreciation of women's football, such as the assumption that it is less skillful, exciting, or competitive than men's football.
However, they all contribute to the gap between men's and women's football in terms of popularity and recognition. To close this gap, it is necessary to challenge and change the structures and attitudes that limit the opportunities and potential of women in football.
hello everyone,
I make the present world by joint efforts of men and women. Men are dependent on women just as women are dependent on men. Women have established themselves in all fields like men. Women are playing a role in the field of sports, space and information technology. Men fight but women encourage, inspire and help. In the context of Bangladesh, the role of women played a more important role than men during the liberation war. Brave women exchanged news, provided shelter and served the freedom fighters. Rani Lakshmi Bai fought with the British with all her strength. Over the course of time, many women have become noble women and progressed in the social order. As a result of which women are now freed from various physical and mental abuses such as walking safely on the roads, teaching, child marriage. These positive changes did not happen overnight, they happened slowly
In my opinion womens sports does not get recognized as much as it should be, throughout history you hear about some of the best sportsmen, best footballers, basketballers etc.However, i hardly hear about some of the greatest women of these sports ever.Im aware women's football or other sports are new and less popular but i think we should get recognized for how great we are too.Women appreciate men, wear there kits and idolise them but very many men wear womens kits or recognise them as an idol.I, as a footballer, hate when i show up to training and there is basically just boys who will stare at you or not pass just because your a 'girl'.Therefore, i think we need to get appreciated throughout life.
What support could your football club give you to help improve your experience, beloved_coconut? How could you make sure you get that support?
I totally agree with this!! womens sport does not get enough recognition. I think everyone should get recognition for everything great they do, I find it embarrassing playing football in front of boys, i worry they will shame me as this era has made everything shameful
It's upsetting to hear what you feel embarrassed - everyone should be comfortable to play sports! What positive steps do you think can be taken to help prevent this from happening?
I feel that all of them are responsible for supporting women's football equally. If you think about it the Fans give views which are the main source of money, but the media doesn't produce enough attention towards women's football. But if you listen or watch the media every other second it's a male's football game that is heard or even male basketball. The government is the worst though they don't even pay the women enough when they do get views and play hard to get the money. Women in women's football get paid about $59,535 a year whilst men make
over $860,000 per year. That's over 14 times what women make it's outrageous. It needs to be changed and everyone needs to do their part to fix it because these women play as good as and sometimes even better than the men.
Women football is not a common sport nowadays but this does not mean that women cannot succeed in this. There are many factors that can help promoting it equally irrelevant of gender. First of all the government needs to give money to many women's clubs and teams that are already doing this sport so as to motivate them more. They need to feel that they are not alone and their country supports them.
Of course the media can play an important role too. They can form ideas and opinions by promoting equality. Additionally if we see many advertisements with not only men on football but also women the perception can change .
In considering who holds the ultimate responsibility for women's sports fans, we must examine the roles played by the media and the government. While both entities have an influence, the media, with its extensive reach and ability to shape public opinion, holds a significant responsibility in engaging and expanding the fan base. Through thoughtful and inclusive coverage, the media can highlight the achievements and stories of women athletes, inspiring more fans to support and follow their sporting events. However, the government also plays a crucial role by implementing policies and initiatives that promote gender equality and provide equal opportunities for female athletes. By creating an environment where women's sports are valued and supported, the government can encourage more women to participate in sports and attract a broader fan base. Ultimately, it is the combined efforts of the media and the government that can shape a society in which women's sports fans thrive.
Hi there!
Support for women in football involves various stakeholders, but FIFA, the international governing body for soccer, plays a pivotal role. FIFA has implemented initiatives to promote women's football, including investing in competitions, providing financial support to member associations, and advocating for gender equality within the sport. National associations, clubs, and sponsors also contribute, but FIFA's global influence and resources make it a central force in advancing women's football worldwide.
Some great examples here, perceptive_editor! How successful do you think these initiatives have been so far? Could anything else be done?
In my opinion, fans play a crucial role in financing women's sports. Despite the growing popularity, it's not sufficient for big companies to sponsor them. These companies prefer highly popular sports like football and basketball. So, fan support becomes vital in ensuring the financial stability of women's sports.
Women's sports have made many significant progress over the years, with more opportunities, funding, and recognition for female athletes. It is essential to promote and support women's sports to give women an equal chance to compete, excel, and inspire the next generation of female athletes. Additionally, women's sports offer numerous health and social benefits to women of all ages, including improved physical fitness, mental health, and confidence. Therefore, it is crucial to celebrate and empower women in sports by promoting gender equality and providing the support they need to succeed. THANKS YOU
I believe that the media is most responsible for supporting women in football. Personally, almost every time that I watch something on TV and go through different channels, some form of men's football or men's sport is being broadcasted. As a female who is an advocate for women in football, I believe that there should be a balance between both men and women's football being shown on television. Yes, I understand how men's football supports broadcasting companies financially, as it is viewed so much, but why can't the media give women's football the same or similar opportunities as men's?
In 2022, the Lioness's, the England's women's football team, won the Euros. This was a huge moment for women's football in England and sparked more and more conversations on this matter. England's men's team have never won the Euros, which made this moment even more special. Since then, many more people have gone to watch the Lioness's matches as well as watching their performance in the final of the World Cup against Spain.
In 2019, the Women's world cup had approximately 14.3 million viewers. However, in 2023 the Women's world cup had approximately 16.9 million viewers. That is 2.6 million more viewers across the world, which means that more and more people are engaged in women's football.
Some aspects of the media are giving women's football more coverage and promoting it for everyone. One way in which this has been portrayed is through an ad for the French Women's football team. In this ad, the female French players faces are covered with pictures of the male team and it shows some very exciting goals. Near the end of this ad, it is revealed that these really were the female players, which I'm sure has got many more people thinking. If the media builds upon this idea of promoting women's football, I believe that it will be supported an equal amount with the men's. In conclusion, I am sure that the majority of the public's opinion will be for women's football and women's football will gain further viewers if the media were to take more charge.
From my viewpoint, fans, governments and the press are all essential in promoting women’s sports, but the media is at the forefront. The media avails dynamic coverage using social media platforms to show case female players who lack support. One of the most crucial things in raising morale is fan involvement while countries’ governments have to ensure that monies provided for women sports are made equal. It is vital to debunk stereotypes and demonstrate that females can do it as well as men in sports, thereby contradicting the false beliefs. All in all, great cooperation between fans, government and mass media matters a lot for remarkable success of women's sport.
I feel that the media is the most important part when it comes to sports I feel that when it comes to women sports its always not that important because usually men sports its always all around like they are on the news, ads and on social media while women sports its rare to see them in the news or ads or social media.
Honestly, I think women's sports do not get paid as much as the men playing sports. Take the NBA for an example. The NBA players get more money because they get more viewers per season. The average earning per season in the NBA is $10.58 billion. The average earning per season for the WNBA is $102,751. As you can tell this is a massive difference. This is because the fan base is different. The NBA has games like NBA 2K, NBA 2K playgrounds, and NBA live. Now if you look up any games for the WNBA it's no main game. Only DLC (Downloadable content) that adds on to the main NBA 2K games. Not only do they not have any video games, but there are not any toys, collectibles or anything that relates to the WNBA. This correlates into how much a player can make from having fans, toys, video games. This is how the NBA is thriving when it comes to earnings. Players participate in media outside of the sport. Like lebron appearing in commercials and movies, Michael Jordan having a shoe company, and Shaquille O'neal having multiple Papa Johns locations around america. This is why the NBA has greater earnings than the WNBA.
I would say that the media best supports women in football. Because in the media they are all about equality in sports. And support women more often than the actual community around the places that have women's sports. The media likes to be more supportive because the majority of the media are young people and expect to be treated the same as men. But when it comes to men's sports it's all over the news. So, in conclusion, the media expects women to be more supported in sports so it can balance between men and women.
Supportive must have different meaning fans , media , governments are the same thing they are all the audiences the people who is watching the players and the sport which is played so if we should support the one who is playing well and encourage for one who is not playing the best it is not related to male or female if we look from this side the sport will not be unfair because it depends on the player and the way she plays .
Hi!,
It's challenging to pinpoint a single entity as the most responsible, as each stakeholder plays a critical role in supporting women's football.
Supporting women in football requires a collective effort, but different stakeholders play crucial roles:
1. Fans:Their interest and attendance at women's football events can drive visibility and financial support for the sport.
2. Media: Providing coverage and promoting women's football can increase its popularity and attract sponsors.
3. Governments: Implementing policies and allocating resources to support women's sports infrastructure, training programs, and events is essential.
4. Sponsors and Corporations: Investing in women's football through sponsorships and partnerships can provide financial stability and opportunities for players.
Ultimately, it's a combination of these stakeholders working together that can significantly contribute to the growth and support of women's football.
Thank you!!
Achieving equality in women's sports involves collective efforts. Responsibility lies with sports organizations, sponsors, media, and the community. Allocating equal funding, promoting women's sports coverage, and fostering a supportive environment are key steps to empower women in football. It's a shared responsibility to ensure equitable opportunities and recognition for female athletes.
I truly believe that women deserve more appreciation for the sports that they do. Let's take football, for example
I believe that women's football is supposed to be supported more by women. That's because if we take man's football, for instance, men are applauding it so much more than women. It leads to this huge pay gap. I think that it's pretty weird to expect women to get paid as much as men, when not enough people are watching them. I also think that both fans and the media should talk about it more. The media has the power to both launch and take down something or somebody. It is sharing information all over the world. It often has a huge impact on people's points of view. However, a sport with no fans can't actually succeed. Women should support women, as well as men support men. Otherwise, it won't make a difference. I am glad that there are people out there who care about this and wish to step in. Something that I have noticed is that as the years pass by, more and more women players come out. Their increasing number brings joy to many, because we are trying to normalize equality between the two genders. Equality implies that women are not inferior to men, but they are not superior to them either. I have so often seen this mixed message in the news, about how women are better than men, which is not true. I think that it is important to remember that when fighting for equality, you can't present such statements. Either you are equal or you are not. Personally, I believe that there are some things men can do better than women and some things that women can do better than men. However, it doesn't change the meaning of equality.
In my opinion, the responsibility of supporting women in football lies with everyone involved in the sport. Fans play a crucial role in creating a supportive and inclusive environment for female athletes. By attending matches, cheering on the players, and sharing positive messages on social media, fans can help raise awareness and increase interest in women's football.
The media also has a responsibility to support women in football by providing equal coverage and exposure to female athletes. This includes broadcasting matches, reporting on women's football news and events, and featuring female players in advertisements and marketing campaigns. Lastly, governments can support women in football by investing in infrastructure, providing funding for grassroots programs, and promoting gender equality in sports policies and initiatives. By working together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in football.
Greetings!,
In my opinion fans media and government all are supporting womens sport from their side but besides the women players themselves are responsible because their speciality attracts fans media and government by which they do promote their talent. In most of the place the societies are male dominated societies and from those society working hard and giving their 100% efficiency they got to know whole over the world. After all everyone is responsible from their side but if the players don't have any interesting ability then most of the people won't be noticing it.
Hi,
To answer the question the fans use the media to help support women's sports. And the support they're getting is actually outstanding like logical_tsunami said. But its nothing close to the support of men's sports. For instance let's use the FIFA world cup 2022 as reference. According to FIFA press release in women's division the highest number of attendees or fans watching the matches live were estimated 1.5 million people which generated around $570 million in revenue. Although this is a huge number and a huge milestone this is not close to men's division as that generated around $6.3 billion in revenue from an estimated attendees and fans count of 2.45 million people.
This shows the gap of the popularity and money generated between women's football against men's football. (And as we all know sports are a type of entertainment that is used for the show hosts to earn money from). This in my opinion is solely based on the size of the fanbase. As sports always have been an interest of every man in the world but currently some women are also gaining an interest for sports but that will never be as close to men's interest solely due to the fact that women's football isn't that challenging, riveting and fun in the eyes of men.
This is because men have more strength, speed and agility than that of a woman. This is because the biological fact that women have weaker muscle and less muscle mass that of a man due to the less creation of Testosterone. Also in men's football its hard to make it to the matches as they face a tremendous amount of players in order to be selected and that men's football is a bit more brutal which makes it nevertheless fun and enjoyable to a man.
Therefore, in my opinion the greatest asset of development that will in support for any sport to grow is a strong and huge fanbase. And women's sports may not be on par with men's sports it will be a big industry in the future.
Thank you.
Interesting ideas @diligent_emotion. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?
Seriously, to believe now there is women's world cup and more is very amazing and to think women were first not allowed to go to school. A year ago, or so, I heard from people around me saying women football players are complaining they are not getting as much as money as men. I was not really surprised because men football started before women's, but it hurts me to see and hear how people do not like women's football as much as men's football. So, I think the media can help and bring more equality to the genders.
Fans , the media or government who are responsible ??
This made me think what the answer would be. But I personally think that all these modes are responsible for supporting the women’s team , as media will do the publicity of the team and will encourage the people to support their country’s team, fans will boost the energy in the team and will always be there with them and government will supply more resources and opportunities to the team to become successful and make their country proud .
So according to me , every thing ,small or big are important and are responsible for supporting the women’s to come ahead and show their talent
Support for women in football is a collective effort that involves various stakeholders, including fans, the media, governments, and football organizations. Each plays a role in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment:
Fans: Supporters contribute significantly by attending women's football matches, engaging in positive fandom, and advocating for equal recognition and opportunities.
Media: Media outlets play a crucial role in promoting women's football by providing coverage, broadcasting matches, and highlighting the achievements and stories of female players. Positive and equitable representation in the media is vital.
Governments: Governments can support women in football through policies that promote gender equality in sports, allocate resources to women's sports programs, and address barriers to participation.
Football Organizations: National and international football organizations are responsible for developing and implementing policies.
Sponsors: Corporate sponsors and partners contribute by investing in women's football, providing financial support.
Educational Institutions: Encouraging participation in women's football at the grassroots level, within schools and communities, helps develop talent and interest from an early age.
Ultimately, a collaborative effort involving all these stakeholders is essential to advancing women's football and creating an environment where female athletes receive the support, recognition, and opportunities they deserve.
The acknowledgment and encouragement of women's sports has grown over time, which has helped Bangladeshi female athletes' opportunities and achievements. We have to admit that Bangladeshi women are making great progress and are well-known throughout the world. However, to establish themselves, the women have to overcome numerous obstacles. If a male wants to play cricket, that's not a big thing. However, if a woman wants to take part, that's a hot matter, and even her family refuses to support her. Just for wanting to be a player, they have to deal with a lot of critics and social obstacles. There are many more challenges at the club, even if she decides to join a squad against her family's wishes. The club's inability to provide the girls with adequate training due to a lack of financing means that her dream was dashed because she was not given the right opportunity or environment. This is a reason that talented athletes leave the team every day.
However, they are now actively participating in a variety of sports on a global scale, which is vital for the advancement of women's sports. In addition to the tireless efforts of women, we also require assistance from the government, the media, and the general public. The government must establish several women's sports teams and make sure they receive the necessary support and training. The media must take a leading role in promoting women's sports participation and educating the public about the advantages and opportunities available in those sports. Encouraging gender equality in sports also means providing equal opportunities for women to participate. Women alone are unable to accomplish that; in order to break down this barrier, we need everyone's help. Even with advancements, there are still issues facing women's sports, including financial and resource discrepancies, discrimination based on gender, and stereotypes. To advance women's sports' growth and recognition on par with men's sports, activism and support must continue.
The media plays a vital role in promoting women's football. While the government's support is critical, the media can effectively highlight and broadcast the government's efforts to promote women's football.
Studies have shown that the media plays a crucial role in promoting women's football. For instance, according to a report by the Women's Sports Foundation, media coverage of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 reached a record-breaking 1.12 billion viewers globally, showing the potential of the media to boost the popularity of women's football.
Furthermore, the media has the power to shape public opinion and influence government policies. For example, when the Australian Women's National Team boycotted a tour in 2015 due to pay disputes, the media coverage helped to raise awareness and pressure the government to take action. Subsequently, the government increased funding for women's football, and the team's pay was increased as well.
Similarly, fans can use social media to amplify their support for women's football and demand more media coverage. For instance, when the US Women's National Team won the World Cup in 2019, social media was flooded with messages of support, and the team was invited to the White House.
In conclusion, the media, government, and fans all play important roles in promoting women's football, but the media stands out as a key player in ensuring the sport receives the attention and support it deserves. By highlighting government initiatives, showcasing fan support, and broadcasting matches, the media can help to grow women's football and inspire the next generation of female athletes.
From my point of view, both fans and the media play an essential role for supporting women's sport. It is not rare for people to prefer to watch men playing instead of women because of the biological differences and to some extend due to the insufficient promotion by the media. At the same time, the media choose to avoid giving much attention to women's sport owing to the lack of fans. So, it is a vicious circle that repeat itself over and over again. Finally, I believe that if fans and the media show more attention to women's sport, then, the government would give equally funding with the men's.
The salary athletes receive is equivalent to the income their team produce which comes from tournament prizes and of course from the spectators. However, I have to underline the fact that it also depends on the sport and the athletes' performance.
I believe that all the media and fans play a crucial role in supporting women in football. The media plays a crucial role in supporting women in sports by providing visibility, recognition, and equitable coverage.There is no denying that mens' sports are more promoted on the internet, But by fans highlighting female athletes' achievements, challenges, and stories, stereotypes can be broken, such as women being weaker than men, inspire future generations, and promote gender equality in sports. Through inclusive and diverse representation, the media and the fans watching can empower women athletes, amplify their voices, and create a more inclusive sporting culture. When the media prioritizes fair and extensive coverage of women in sports, it not only drives positive societal change but also fosters a more balanced and representative sports landscape for all.
In my perspective, I feel as if the media plays a significant role for supporting women in football, although fans and the government support women in football they tend to have less attention, unlike the media is filled with popularity throughout our current ages. The media falls under the entertainment industry, therefore it entices people to be more engaging within what might be seen, and also growing a larger audience. The media can also be used to intake on anyone's own experiences or troubles, as to challenges people face others tend to bring the issue into the center of attention.
The media plays a crucial role in supporting women's football, highlighting government efforts and attracting influential individuals in the sports world. Fans, in particular, contribute significantly by showcasing their support and spreading awareness of the importance of women's sport. They indirectly encourage gender equality in sports, affecting areas experiencing gender inequality. However, women should also be responsible for their own support, taking the initiative to support female students and create awareness that they can achieve anything.
The media, fans, and government all contribute to women's sports by promoting their talent and attracting support from influential individuals. Women themselves also play a role in encouraging women's sports, as they may face inferiority complexes and criticism from others. However, some people still look down on women and don't see them as capable of doing things that formerly men could do.
In conclusion, the media, fans, and government all play a vital role in supporting women's football, but women must also take responsibility for their own support and work towards a gender inequality-free generation.
There is a saying and I repeat" Whatever a man can do women can do better."
It is an indisputable true that nowadays the participation of women in sports like cricket and football is starting to increase swiftly over the past few years. Nevertheless, equality has not been achieved yet thus women are still underestimated for their gender. That's why in order for this gap to be covered, women need to find support in order to manage to continue what they love. The main and most important factor that can determine women's effectiveness is undeniably the coach. To illustrate this point, a coach is responsible for creating the right training programmes, assessing women's capabilities and of course supporting, encouraging and strengthening their confidence for the most effectual and successful performance. Moreover, the media plays also a positive role in encouraging female athletes. Among publications with female athletes playing men's sport, the media can boost the popularity of this specific one and thus motivate other women to participate in similar sports. Last but equally important, fans can also affect the phycological condition of women. By giving to them positive feedback and by embodying them to continue following their passion, women feel satisfy that there are people out there supporting their action and they also start feeling more sure and proud of themselves. So, taking everything into account, althought the previous factirs can really affect women's performance, we can also try to contribute in the effort to end this kind of inequality.
hello everyone,
I think women and men are equally participating in almost all activities nowadays. People used to discriminate between men and women in the past. At that time, women did not get all the rights, respect, and participation in social events on an equal footing with men. But with the benefit of science, people's thinking has changed. One example of this is women in sports. Currently, women activists are as famous and skilled as men. Currently, there are men's football as well as women's football clubs and fifa women's world cup. This is a positive change in times. Not just football, cricket, hockey, chess, carrom, tennis, wrestling, all sports are spreading their wide spread. Artificial intelligence and science have changed this positive attitude and increased women's rights and opportunities.
In my own view I think the most important person for supporting women in sports is the media.
Sports media can play a huge role in promoting gender equality by giving balanced media coverage to both men's and women sports, not how women lack. They are strong in their own way, and we must respect what they achieve through perseverance and grit.
The role of women in sports have evolved significantly over the years, and today they are making remarkable strides as athletes, players, coaches, administrators, and advocates for gender equality in sports.
Throughout the years, stereotypes about men and women have grown. I believe that women are treated unfairly compared to men in the sports industry. In school, whenever I participate in track or anything that involves sports the guys always make comments saying, "You just a girl, boys are faster and stronger." This relates to women sports as the media always underestimates women. First of all, women don't have equal pay as men in the sports industry. Julian Jappert, director of the Think Tank Sport et Citoyenneté states, "We have huge pay inequalities. If I just tell you, for example, that the average salary of a female WNBA player was 110 times less than that of a male NBA colleague, that gives you an idea of the inequalities involved." Second of all, popularity and the media play a huge role in women sports. Unlike men, women sport barely get any attention; whenever I go to basketball games there are barely any people on the stands, on the other hand when the guys are getting ready to play there are people lined up to watch. There are huge inequalities between the broadcasting of women's sport and men's sport. Lastly, sexism is a big problem; for instance, if a women athlete is scrolling through the comments of a post of her game and she sees a comment of someone being sexist it can make her feel unworthy or not enough. Stereotypes are ruining women sports as it has a negative impact on women athletes in multiple ways; they might get hate or sexist comments which might lead to mental health problems, lack of self-confidence, and more.
Thank you for your comment @unique_expression! How do you think we can get more media attention on women's sports to make them more popular?
I think family plays an influential role in supporting women in football. Here are some reasons why family is most responsible for supporting women in football:
1. Early Exposure and Encouragement: Family members are typically the first people who introduce children to sports and physical activities. By providing early exposure to football and encouraging girls to participate, family members can help break gender stereotypes and foster a love for the sport from a young age. Their support and encouragement can play a vital role in shaping a girl's interest and passion for football.
2. Financial and Practical Support: Family members can provide financial and practical support that is essential for a woman's participation in football. This may include covering the costs of equipment, training fees, transportation to matches, and attending tournaments. Family support in managing logistics and prioritizing commitments can help overcome practical barriers that may hinder a woman's involvement in the sport.
3. Emotional Support and Confidence Building: Family support is crucial in building a woman's confidence and self-belief in pursuing a career in football. Encouragement, positive reinforcement, and belief in her abilities can empower a woman to overcome challenges, setbacks, and societal pressures that she may face in pursuing her football aspirations. Emotional support from family members helps create a nurturing environment that fosters a woman's resilience and determination.
4. Advocacy and Negotiation: Family members can advocate for equal opportunities and fair treatment for women in football. They can engage with coaches, schools, and sports organizations to ensure that women have access to quality coaching, training facilities, and competitive opportunities. Family members can also negotiate for equal resources and support that are often more readily available for male athletes.
5. Long-Term Guidance and Mentorship: Family members can provide long-term guidance and mentorship to women in football. They can offer advice, share experiences, and connect them with relevant networks and opportunities.
Thanks for the great comment @fearless_mandarin! What would you suggest for women whose families don't support them in football? Where else can they find support?
If a women is interested in football but her family isn’t supportive to her. She can find support from many people and places such as :
i) Local football clubs :Many cities have organizations dedicated to women's football. If she Join the club, she can play football and be able to meet more women like her.
ii) Online communities : Nowadays there are many social media groups or websites that care about women's football. There are many football players who can give her advice in her situation. They will support her to play the sports.
iii) Football camps and workshops : There are some professional players, Coaches and organizations who does football camps. She can find support there too.
In my own personal opinion, I think the Fans, and the media are most responsible for supporting women in football because the media does not carry it out as they do in Men football. now coming down to the fans, if you have noticed it, when ever the Men are playing football, you would see that the stadium is usually filled up with fans. During the women football game, the fans are supposed to be there in order to cheer them up and also to motivate them while they play.
I disagree because I don’t think that is the media that is responsible for supporting the women football because with out the fans the match can’t show on the media so I will say that is they fans that mostly responsible
The government plays the most important role in the women sports, because the government don't provide enough money to help in the progress of the female sports. the male sports has more importance than the female sports, always having the mentality that the male has more strength and agility in the aspect of sports round the world.
And most people practice infiriority complex, in those days before the female started playing sports they were not aloud to participate in sporting activities example volley ball, soccer, high jump, and car race e.t.c. we all need to support the female sport activities. and the the implication of all this the females can cause low self esteem the female are ment to be included in all sporting activities.
Female football players have also been an inspiration to young girls. They have shown that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. They have demonstrated that women can be successful in sports, which can motivate young girls to pursue their dreams. Female football players serve as role models who can inspire young girls to be confident, resilient, and believe in themselves.
Women have an increase in their exercise life. Women are very good in sports like, basketball, volleyballs, badminton and table tennis. In so many countries the popularity of women sports are at a very high increase, in countries like Britain, Singapore and Argentina their ladies are very good in basketballs.
In Nigeria the super Falcons are doing very well and they are getting a lot of funds, some Nigerian female sports cartel are: chioma ajunwa, tobi Amusan, favour ofilo, Asisat oshoala and Mary isijo. Women sports are carried along but not the way the males sports are famous.
My point is that women are building up their ability to do sports, therefore they should be made famous by the medias, government and their fans.
THANKS.
Hiiii, Hello, Namesthe and vanakkam to everyone................
Well, you know, supporting women in football is like cheering for your friends in a big game. Everyone can help, but some people might have a bigger role to play. Let me try to explain it in a way that makes sense, even if I'm just a student still learning.
Fans are like the cheerleaders:
Fans are really important because they're like the cheerleaders in a game. When they clap and shout, it makes everyone feel excited and happy. So, if fans support women's football by watching the games, talking about them, and wearing the team colors, it helps a lot. It's like saying, "Go, team, go!" But fans can also be kind and respectful, cheering for women players just like they do for the guys.
The media is like the storyteller:
The media is like the storyteller who tells everyone about the game. They can write in newspapers, talk on the TV, and use the internet to share stories about women playing football. If they write and talk about women's football just as much as they do about men's football, it helps everyone see that both are important. It's like making sure everyone gets a turn in the storybook.
Governments are like the helpers:
Governments can be like the helpers who make sure everything is fair. They can make rules that say girls and boys should get the same chances to play football. If they give money and support to women's football teams, it helps them practice and play more games. It's like having someone make sure everyone has the same opportunities to play and have fun.
Coaches and teachers are like the guides:
Coaches and teachers are like the guides who help players learn and get better. If they encourage girls to play football just like they encourage boys, it makes everyone stronger. They can teach everyone the same skills and help them believe in themselves. It's like having a friend who helps you learn new things.
Parents are like the biggest fans:
Parents are like the biggest fans because they support you no matter what. If they encourage their daughters to play football and go to games, it makes a big difference. It's like having someone who always believes in you and cheers for you, no matter if you win or lose.
So, you see, everyone has a part to play in supporting women in football. It's like a big team effort where fans, the media, governments, coaches, teachers, and parents all work together. If everyone does their part, it helps make sure that girls and boys, women and men, can all enjoy playing and watching football together. And that's pretty cool!
Thank you.
A fantastic use of creative writing to explain your point of view. Well done!
I believe that the media is mainly responsible for women's sports in general. Especially football. The government does support it by giving money and stuff, but media is how everything gets around. By broadcasting news live, posting on social media, websites, and more. Fans also play a role by supporting their favorite players and placing bets and having just having a audience.
I strongly think that the fans and governments are responsible for supporting women in football, but I think the most responsible for supporting women in football will be the government, because I am sure it is the government which will provide the female team jerseys, will be paying all the teams travels and be also paying for their matches. I think the government can reach out to a brand to help make an ad to support the team in their matches and to get more fans during a match, and sometimes fans are the main reason why a team a football team becomes admired, because they are the ones who come to pay and watch your matches, so they can share with others how good your matches are and eventually other people start watching your matches for your team to become of biggest female football teams in the world.
The media, the government , the fans support can make women's football a great success.The media can play an important role in the advertising of such games and hence could gain more viewers as well as attract new buzz around the topic . The government , can however take the initiative to promote such tournaments taking place in their respective region and encourage more people to support the game . The fans are the base of every sport so in a sport which is played by the women should be supported and accepted world wide . This would not only create awareness about such games but also break a certain stereotype allowing more girls across the world to actively take part in such sports.
In considering who holds the primary responsibility for supporting women in football, it's essential to recognize the collective effort required from various stakeholders. While fans play a vital position in driving interest and attendance, and the media can amplify visibility and coverage, ultimately, governments and sports organizations bear significant responsibility. Governments can enact and publish policies and allocate resources to promote gender equality in sports, ensuring equitable funding, facilities, and opportunities for female athletes. Sports organizations and governing bodies must also prioritize gender equality in their policies, investment decisions, and promotional efforts. By working together, these stakeholders can create an environment where women's football receives the recognition, support, and investment it deserves, thus advancing towards greater equality in the sport.
One very interesting news story on women's sport news story that caught my eye is when a large group of women professional soccer players lost 3-0 to a group of 15 year old boys. This took place in Australia when the team for that country and other women's teams were losing popularity due to the amount of people who think women's sports are bad and rather watch men. So to boost popularity this team tried to show they were better than men starting by facing a group of high school boys and then facing a group of college students and then a pro team they lost the first match 3-0, the second match 5-2, and the last match 8-1. This was intriguing to me because this in my opinion would most likely be broken down by cancel culture and picked back up by the millions of people on social media trying to prove a point. I did understand why people would use this event to prove men are better, but I feel that either way trying to prove that you're better than another group of individuals is wrong. So in conclusion, this story took my attention not because of the story itself but because of the backlash that might come from it. Why? Because I have seen tons of people say someone is better than someone else but seem to believe people are sexist if they say men are better than women. But if you couldn't tell the message I have been trying to get across is, no matter how many games are won or how many posts are made all people are amazing and equal in their humanity!
In my point of view I think the most responsible for supporting women in football needs to be their own family first. If their family supports them first they can do and have will power to make their family proud and then their country and then their fans. Women are needed to be supported by their closed ones first then they will have the courage to fight against their opponents. By opponents I don't mean an enemy. I mean a team or a person which is playing against another team or a person (that another is meant to be the opponent). For women their family is their priority as well as their career, jobs and future plannings. In many Asian countries and places most of the talented women/girls are not able to play any sports at all. And it is only because of misconceptions inside our society. These societies (people) think that women/girls can not play any sports, women/girls shouldn't play any sports or games, women/girls are weaker than men/boys. In some sports we do have to wear shorts or short skirts for our flexibility we see it as a normal clothing but in some undeveloped societies they think wearing short clothes make thier character, describes their character. These types of misconceptions are still around us which needed to be end in past era. If a family fight against the society for their daughters, daughter-in-law's and mother's choice for sports or their career then that same daughter, daughters-in-law and mother will fight for their family and gets success in making their family proud. Family is the source of happiness for women. Only their family can comfort them when they need someone to be by their side. So supporting women in sports is mostly responsible by their family.
I'm glad that I can express my opinion infront of everyone. I hope I can also get your opinion on my comment.
To me, both fans , the media and the government play a crucial role in the athleticism of WOMEN in sports. But the media popularizes them the most. An example of these agents of publicity is a football journalist, they advocate and publicize their sports which makes them a bit known.
In my opinion, everyone should be responsible for supporting women in football. Rather than viewing it as a game exclusively for boys, recognizing the significant talent and power of women is crucial. Considering the question, I believe fans, media, government, and women themselves share the responsibility. Logically, with a vast number of women worldwide, mutual support can be encouraged, especially through media platforms.
It's essential for women to advocate for themselves, remembering that nothing is impossible. As in the alchemist's book, "If we want something, the universe is with us," and this holds true in football. In the 21st century, sharing related videos globally through media can garner support, persuading others to join in. When the majority supports, governments are likely to follow suit. Popular figures may have fans, but with widespread support, a collective effort can genuinely empower women in football.
*Thank you *
I think that everyone is responisble to support women in support as the men's teams get a lot more support i have seen this in football as a men's team sells out stadiums and women do not always. I belive that women should get more support in sport and for it to be equal in sport.
I believe that the world needs to make women sports more interesting for people to watch and subscribe and to pay way more attention to than before. I say this because the world is not really into women sport, to be honest, I a not really a fan of women's sports I am more into men sports, I think that I need to make a change,I need to encourage and determine myself to watch women sport to not be biased.
As the FIFA Women's World Cup kicked of, women's football finds itself at the centre of the world stage. Despite the progress made in women's sports, major challenges remain, particularly in terms of equal pay, visibility and training conditions. Sexism in women's sports is a persistent problem that hinders the progress and equality of women athletes.
In conclusion, women sports needs to be gone into deep down than the current way it is noticed in the world. It needs to be visualized in the world or else it brings us back to gender inequality.
Women's sports have undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, experiencing a surge in recognition, popularity, and achievements across various disciplines. This shift marks a significant departure from traditional norms and barriers, signaling a more inclusive and diverse landscape within the sporting world.
One of the most notable aspects of this evolution is the increased visibility and success of female athletes in both established and emerging sports. From tennis and soccer to newer disciplines like mixed martial arts and esports, women are excelling and breaking records, challenging stereotypes, and inspiring millions around the globe.
Moreover, the expansion of opportunities and resources for women in sports has played a pivotal role in driving this progress. Investments in training facilities, coaching staff, and promotional initiatives have helped level the playing field and empower women to pursue their athletic ambitions with confidence.
Major sporting events, such as the Women's World Cup and the Olympics, serve as platforms for showcasing the incredible talent and dedication of female athletes on a global stage. These events not only celebrate athletic prowess but also highlight the importance of gender equality and inclusivity in sports.
As the momentum behind women's sports continues to grow, it is essential to recognize and support the achievements of female athletes at all levels. By fostering a culture of respect, fairness, and opportunity, we can ensure that women's sports continue to thrive and inspire future generations to reach their full potential, both on and off the field.
Every year there are athletes who make it to the list of inspiring female athletes. Every time there is a new Olympics or Marathon Trials, I start looking for more female athlete quotes. I think it's important for women to see other women pushing boundaries and achieving great things
People often lament that there aren't enough strong female role models.
I think it's true. More women than men are now finishing the race We are learning to love our strengths and find the confidence to test our limits. These women have faced obstacles and kept moving forward. They have succeeded in areas that were not previously "for women". Their strength is a constant reminder not to underestimate themselves.
In my opinion there's a big pay difference between women's sport and men's sport just because men's is watched more it doesn't means girls have to be underpaid even though they work as hard as men in terms of sport as a boy a fairly disagree that women have to be underpaid.Womens sport is as interesting as any other gender sport game and I hate how people can treat women unfairly because of gender
A group that can affect the support in women's sports may be families and women themselves, many still have orthodox thinking and do not want to promote women or let their own daughters do whatever profession they find interest in. Something that keeps me up all night is that many families may even do mockery of people who watch women's sports and promote it, and tell them to "grow up" and watch "real sports". We all can try to change the society, but the main place where efforts are to be made is in changing the mentality of people, making them realize that women are no less than men, that sports by both genders can be as thrilling and exciting if one sees it in that way.
Thank You!!
Hello,
I believe that fans, the media, and the government are important in the lives of these women in football. In my opinion, I believe that the media is the most important. Media helps the players become more famous because they always post things about them. They are the ones who start their career by posting about them and notifying people about them. They show us the amazing talent that they have.
The fans are also important in the lives of the players because without their support they would not be doing what they like to do. In many countries, the government doesn't support women in football because they say that they shouldn't exist. In my point of view, I would say that women can play better than a man. Many people used to say that women are not good but they don't know what they are talking about because everyone can do what a man can.
Thank you.
Hello
According to me Fans, Media, Government all are somewhere or the other responsible in supporting Women in football and they are interrelated too.
However, I would say that Fans play the most crucial role in supporting women football as with the increasing number of fans, the fund also automatically increases. The media usually Popularizes the things that people prefer more which again is dependent on the number of people supporting. With more people supporting, The government is also pressurized to Support the demand of the people resulting in encouraging Women Football.
I believe the fan support is the most important. If there is no support from the fans then why would anyone be encouraged to play that sport? Apart from that I also believe that there is not enough competition between the teams so that is why people don't always find women's sports interesting. If we look at men's sports, there is a lot of competition between them and hence people find it more amusing. We can't always blame the fans, media, and the government, right? I believe that as women, we should focus on continuously improving ourselves and our skills, thereby captivating everyone's interest in our games. This is totally my perspective and you all might look at it the other way
Indeed, the competition is often missing from women's sports. People love competition. That's what they usually find entertaining and that's the reason they watch many shows, it's not just about sports. When more people participate and the event gets bigger, that's when the audience grows. However, it is a sad truth about this. I believe that there's a cycle that is supposed to keep repeating: More people participating leads to a bigger audience, which leads to more people joining. But if there are not enough participants and not enough entertainment, then how are women's sports going to gather a bigger audience? And if not enough people are watching them, then will more women wish to take part in the games? It is a hard question to answer. Personally, I think that it should be a team effort. The team should be formed from: sports players and other people. If we truly wish to not see this huge pay gap between men and women in sports in general, then we should support them.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of girls who would like to join a sports team as a job, but they are afraid of failing and not having something to fall back on. If the spot that they are playing isn't that appreciated by others, then what will they do? Wouldn't it be safer to just choose a safer job, from which they know that they will be able to earn their living? Shouldn't they choose the safer option? These are all questions that are going through their head. I believe that we should offer them a less riskier way of succeeding, or at least a reason to take that risk and to be worth it. Do you agree?
I agree with you, there has to be a certain woman who has to take all the risks for the future generation. Women's sports need a little boost and might shine like men's sports in the upcoming years. Now it is all upon us how we view women's sports, we should take equal participation in women's sports and be more enthusiastic about them. If the players will notice that the fans want them to play then they might also try their best. So let's all come together and support these players!
Women sports are important as it shows other women that they have the power to do anything. Women started playing football in 1871 which was really late in time. In the situation , I can see that the government did not let women play football before 1871 as some people think women are weaker then men which is called stereotype. It is fascinating to hear the women sports and men sports are now the same level as equality is really important such as skin colour and similarity.
In my opinion I think its the people or fans of women football and also media. Media shows us the iconic moments of the women football and their achievements. And the fans of the women football support them the most. They fight other people to prove that the women football is no less than men's football and equally good.
Woman's Sports is very competitive and amazing. The latest Today women can compete in sports, once completely dominated by man. Not even today women in sports are not portrayed in the same light as their male counterparts. Women are just as capable as men in the area of sport, but the media is not publically showing this.
When it involves promoting women's football, there are multiple players who play an essential role. However, one may argue that the majority of responsibilities falls on football oversight organizations such as FIFA and national football associations.
These organizations have the authority to develop policies, provide money, and provide opportunities for women in football. They may promote gender equality by making sure women's football receives same approval, investment, and support as men's football. By establishing women's football leagues, managing tournaments, and providing equal access to facilities and training, these controlling organizations can help women succeed in the sport.
Clubs and coaches also play an important role in supporting women's football. They can encourage inclusive and supportive cultures for female athletes, provide access to high-quality coaching and training programs, and provide fair possibilities for promotion and representation. Clubs and coaches can assist break down barriers and fight stereotypes about gender by investing in women's teams and actively encouraging football for girls.
Additionally, sponsors and media outlets must encourage women in football by offering financial assistance, coverage, and visibility. Sponsors that invest in women's football can help elevate the sport and give female players opportunity to demonstrate their talent on a worldwide scale. Media sources can help by providing properly coverage of women's football, spotlighting female players' successes, and challenging old narratives that favor men's sports.
To summarize, while many stakeholders are responsible for promoting women in football, football governing bodies, clubs, coaches, sponsors, media outlets, and fans all have a role. By collaborating and prioritizing gender equality, they can create an environment in which women's football thrives and female players receive the support they need.
In my opinion all the characters listed are responsible for the popularity but all of them are still not doing enough very few fans watch women's sport and support it, the media have their fair share on the popularity of womens sport because the media are responsible for delivering it to the masses and when they concentrate on only men sport it discourages women on the participation in sports while it encourages the partaking of men's football sponsored and scouted by the fans and media not much made on women s sport and for the government the government don't even take interest in women's sport while men sport they are sponsored by the government their equipment are given by Thier government even their funding and very few government see women sport and take interest but if we take interest into their games support we can promote equality between men and women showing equal interest to their sports and support them all the way we promote equality to all and this will even promote introduction of new sport and scouting of even into the game filing even more people s dream
Thank You
From my point of view, I think that everyone who likes and respect the idea of women playing football should support them, not only fans , media or government, also people who fights for the rights for women not only in sports but also in other topics such as Jobs . I know that if we compare the money a woman receive in football with the money a man receives there will be a high difference, so let's try to make this difference smaller as football is the same sport to everyone and should be valorated the same to all people
I believe that the media is the most important in highlighting womens sports and making them more well known. However it's the fans who are responsible for earning revenue for the women. If you don't make the same as men, how can you expect to be paid the same? It would be the other way around if women were earning more than men. However the media is responsible for pushing these women into the limelight and talking about them more. Nealry everyone can name at least 5 male football players many can name much more, however barely any can name a single female football player. The media is responsible in covering them more and making them more well known.
Personally, I think many have a part to play in the underepresentation of women's sport, firstly the televison broadcasting companies as it is less likely to turn on the tv to see a women's sports game instead of a mens. This also links in with the idea that the media is to blame as in many adverts and sponsors men's sports games are the main focus of tv channels and sportswear adverts. Finally, many sports fans are to blame as people are often more likely to make an effort to watch or follow important men's sports games more than women's.
I believe that, for womens sports to be taken seriously and equally funded in comparison to male sports, fans need to show support for the teams. I believe this because the media responds to the public, so for womens sport to get more positive exposure, fans should openly show support as womens sport is often presented as a joke and mocked in modern media. This then results in the government funding not male and female sports equally as they believe female sports are less popular and taken less seriously in comparison to male sports. So, because it all starts with the media repsonding to fans, the public need to be more open-minded and positive when discussing womens sports.
I believe everyone should support women in football because of the ability to drive gender equality by teaching women and girls teamwork, self-reliance, resilience and confidence. Women in sport defy gender stereotypes and social norms, make inspiring role models, and show men and women as equals.
Hi ,
Personally I think it is a mix of all 3 the fans the media and the government . This is because they have different but crucial parts in helping support women's sport . The government has the power to give money to the clubs so they could pay the women better or help advertise . The fans are also important for two things . The first reason is is for the moral support and backing of a club to make them fell supported . The second reason is the more fans you get in a stadium the more money the club will get . Lastly the media is important as people would see what the club is like on social media.
Well,I think that the media plays a so important role for supporting women in football or in any other sport because they think that male's sports are more important than female's sport, for example the Spain female football club has won the World Cup 2023 and they have talk about it few days meanwhile the Spain male football club won the World Cup 2010 and they talk about it since they won to nowadays, this is because social media want to talk about the male's cup 2010 and not the female one because money , so this is the cause why female's sport heve less importance than the male's ones.
As well,girl's sport win less money than the boy's one , I think this occurs because the social media or the goverment because they win much money the male's sport and also the goverment and social media.
In my opinion this is done very bad because some people wan to know the female'sports for example football , basketball, etc and this unknown for some persons and this is cause by the social media do nothing for being known.
Women's sports encompass a wide range of athletic competitions and endeavours undertaken by female athletes across the globe. These sports not only showcase the physical prowess and talent of women but also promote gender equality and empowerment. The media plays a crucial role in shaping the narrative and visibility of women's sports, as it has the power to amplify their achievements and inspire future generations. However, historically, women's sports have received less coverage and investment compared to men's sports, perpetuating stereotypes and barriers to participation. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to increase the representation of women's sports in the media, with initiatives such as dedicated television channels, online platforms, and advocacy campaigns. By providing equal coverage, support, and recognition to women's sports, the media can help challenge gender norms, break down barriers, and create opportunities for female athletes to thrive on and off the field.
I say that the media are responsible for supporting women in football. Why might I say this statement? For starters, the media is mainly the head source of almost everything. Topics go viral from the media. The media mostly supports all topics. Although there might be some people that are against supporting women in football.
In my opinion, all the three above mentioned choices that is fans, government and media play an important role in their own ways .
Fans can highlight their support for women’s sports by informing and including many people around them, forming fandoms to spread more information . They can show their support through regular attendance in the women’s sports events . The media can highlight women’s sporting events and the achievements which different women have achieved in this field which will spark the interest of many people across the world.
They can influence the common people to support women. Governments can provide women regular funds and policies such as equal access to facilities for improving their position in sports . So ultimately, in my considered perspective, this is a collective effort which is shared by all three tiers- Fans, Media and Government.
Thank you
Supporting women in sports leads to stronger women, stronger community, stronger economy.
Of course the women in sports need supports from media, government, fans and one of the most significant sources of support is family because it plays a pivotal role in a sport person success and overall well being contributing to their physical, mental and emotional growth. So that, with the family the women performs the best and all other support like fans , media , government will automatically starts to support.
The Government's need to be responsible in women's football. Women's football has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and with more exposure resulting in more revenue, wages are going up. FA for women's winning Euro 2022 last year and earn a reported £2,000 a month, , and the average salary in UK per month is £1,950. You're telling me that the best women's football team in Europe gets payed the same amount as an average citizen in the Uk. The Government's need to up their game as this is unacceptable. However, the men's team players earn approximately £386,000 in one month! The men's Uk national football team are payed in a month in what the Europe's best women's team would get in a whole year! The pay gap is insane.
Another fact is *not a biased or stereotypical* over 70 percent of viewers of the EPL in the United Kingdom were male. Meanwhile, 29 percent of Premier League viewers were female. Football is mostly associated with boys and men playing the sport. If you walk into any kind of store and you have the children's section, the boys and the girls will be separated into different aisle, in the girls section you will find butterflies, fairies, unicorns but when you walk into the boys section you will find football, spaceships and cars. Both children of the opposite gender can like the same things but from a young age you are divided into you are this gender and you must like this. It is the society's way, that's why there isn't as many women's teams playing or watching football as people are not brave enough to go against society's standards.
Some might argue that the women's sport in general is much less watched because women started getting equal rights as men not even 100 years ago; so how half of the society must get the same amount of respect. The world of women has just begun; there are much more politicians, women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), sports players than there ever was before. Over time woman will get to do a lot more "manly jobs" as men are becoming more accepting in the workplace. You can do this;)
In my opinion , all fans, media and government are responsible to support women in football but mostly media is responsible to support women in football because if media supports women in football than the women sports will get popularity in the world because media helps to transmit information to large number of audience then automatically there will be more fans in women's football.
Hello, empowered_studio.
In my humble opinion, I feel everyone is responsible to support women's sport. Everyone mentioned are all humans who may contribute to the growth of women's sports one way or the other.As young children, we could help in our little way by spreading the importance of promoting women's sports, the media may help by sending information concerning women's sport on the internet and the government could assist all of these financially.
In conclusion, we all have a major role to play in the development of women's sport.
Thank you.
I think people don't really support women sport because generally, men are the ones who rule sport. To people, it seems like females aren't created for games or sports or outdoor events. I think the only people who would be in support of women sport is females who believe in "girl power" fans, or the media. I don't remember the last time I saw women play football on TV. But the most responsible for supporting women in football is the media. They are the ones who sponsored them to play. If not, I don't think the women would go to ask to be sponsored.
I think fans, the media and governments should all be supporting women in football. I think the fans and the media should be supporting women in football by uplifting all of the players, and everyone should treat all of the players equally. A lot of people discriminate against women in sports, but it isn't the right thing to do. It is bias, and women should be able to play any sport they like. I think the governments are responsible for things such as funding, and making sure they also support the women's teams, leagues and games.
Hello
In my honest opinion, supporting women in football involves multiple stakeholders, but it's important to recognize the significant role of various entities.Like,fans play a crucial role in supporting women's football by attending matches, purchasing merchandise, and engaging with the sport through social media and other platforms. Their enthusiasm and support help to drive interest and investment in women's football.
And The media plays a pivotal role in promoting women's football by providing coverage, broadcasting matches, and telling the stories of female players, teams, and leagues. Increased media visibility helps to raise awareness and generate support for women's football at all levels.
Thank you
I think supporting women in football requires a collective effort from various stakeholders, but some hold greater responsibility in driving change. While fans play a crucial role in fostering inclusivity and promoting women's football through attendance, engagement, and advocacy, the media holds significant influence in shaping public perception and coverage of women's sports. Governments also have a pivotal role in providing funding, resources, and infrastructure to support the development of women's football at all levels. Additionally, football organizations, sponsors, and governing bodies must actively promote equality and invest in programs that encourage participation and advancement for women in the sport. Overall, while all stakeholders have a role to play, governments, football organizations, and the media hold particular responsibility in championing gender equality.
Fans, media and government all are responsible for supporting women, but media and fans play an important role because the media telecaste it with a good caption and the fans give alot of support to the women's player. Government also have a part in it because they are the one who gave them this opportunity to come on the field. Women's also have the abilities to play on the field and they are also very strong. All the three plays a role in promoting equality, visibility, and opportunities for women in the sport.Fans support fosters a sense of community and encourages investment.Media increases the coverage of women's football, including matches, profiles, and discussions, helps build a broader fan base and challenges stereotypes.Governments can influence policies and funding to promote gender equality in sports.
I believe with the help of government social media and community. Women sport is going to be grow fast with all of these points I have listed.
In the first place we have the government, it would be good if they put more effort in women sport as in men, they can start by encouraging young women and then creating more competitions on sport.
Second is social media, the rate of men on news and TV shows is high compared to women. If there was a way to increase the amount of shows of women this would promote women sport by far.
And last but not least community. If there is encouragement from the community of where the young woman is staying it would boost her passion to become a sportswoman.
I think that everyone that enjoys futbol should be supportive of women in futbol. Unfortunately, women's sports have not been as popular as men's sports. A lot of it has to do with the lack of support from the government and media. But i think if the fans were to be more enthusiastic and supportive, more attention would come from other places.
I would say that the media and the official association for women’s sports are responsible for supporting women’s football. The media plays a large role in women’s sports since it can help publicize the talent of women in football and other sports. Although the media can publicize women talents, they can also refract the light of the situation making it seem as if women are too weak or frail or even too temperamental to be in sports entirely. While the media is one of the main influences on women sports in general, the sports associations for women’s sports are the ones who see what the media is putting out and they are the ones allowing it come out to fans. Speaking out fans, those same fans can be manipulated by the media, making the fans feel too upset about hearing the crude commentary that fans might end up adding to the commentary themselves.
Women sports are very not seen. Women sport needs to get more attention, Men get more attention and more "betting" on.
How can women's sports gain more attention?
The media has helped womens football to be seen by people all around the world. Even today girls get told that they can't play football but with the media it has proven those people wrong . Without the media girls probably wouldn't feel happy and encouraged to take part in any football things.
I think media because it is something that lots of people can view and some people will check it frequently. This means that if something is on the media that is about women's football, for example advertising to get tickets for a match, people will see that and may (hopefully) consider attending the match. Also, the media may spread some information that is really interesting or persuasive, making people explore a lot more. Women's football is not shown on television that much so it is hard to watch a match easily, whereas with a men's match, there are lots of matches on and it is very easy to find them. Consequently, people know a lot less about women's football compared to men's and so people may even forget about it and only watch the men. Without putting news about women's football online, people will not know anything about it and it will become less popular. Additionally, we need to see the women players play so that little girls get inspired and influenced so that, in the future, we have more and more girls playing. We need more to be advertised and more to be made aware of. The media could have a massive effect on women's football in the future.
In my own opinion i would say that women are should be allowed to partake in sports because it would help them to be fit .
Over the past year women sports has not been receiving the same amount of attention/publicity as mens sports.This has caused a rise in feminism with more feminist speaking out about sexism.One of the most recent things is with the WNBA giving they're finals MVP a 25$ trophy off of amazon.This has been happening because of their ability to sale out crowds is difficult.
I think fans andmedia are huge and important supporters for women in football
How can fans support women in football?
•If the players gain encourage they will continue their way.
How can media support women football?
•Media Improves the gender balance of sports coverage.
You made some interesting points on how both the media and supporters can make a huge impact on women in sports, can you explain how the media can improve when it comes to gender imbalance?
As many others have said the media has played a crucial role in the support of women sports, but laid aside, the real support isn't really from the media but from those posting and updating these things on the media. Yes! the real supporters are us! We can support not only by posting things on the media, but by campaigning on the streets, in the foot ball stadiums and rousing positive reactions to women sports in our discussions in our work places, school and day to day meetings. Not most people trust what they see in the internet, and what is posted there can't actually be fully guaranteed, but what comes out from someone's mouth especially from someone you may know and love goes a long way and can be trusted most times. Openly supporting, sponsoring and donating to women sports organisations can inspire others to do so to, even without your knowledge.
actually I think that when it comes to supporting women in football, its a collective effort involving various stakeholders. Football associations, clubs, sponsors, fans, and the media al have a role to play in promoting and supporting womens football. it is important for everyone to come together and create opportunities, provide resources, and advocate treatment and recognition. By working together, we can help empower women in the world of football.
In my perspective, I think that the media is the number 1 supportive source of women's sport . Essentially, media has an effective impact on everything, but in this is supporting in addition to contributing women's sport in all aspects . But not just media, media,fans and the government all play a brilliant role on women's rights. Speaking about women's rights, my government has ingeniously promoted and contributed women's rights in all cases and has also written it in my country's constitution . Lastly, I would like to end my comment with a question, what's media's intention in supporting women's sports, views or just supporting women's rights?
i believe that the government and fans should be supporting women in football. Without fans the women playing wont get a promotion, fans can be so kind and make women players never give up and keep going. the government can provide a safe space where young women can cultivate critical skills, including teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, setting and working towards goals, and the pursuit of excellence
People always take men in a higher place at everything while we are all equal, but yes, I believe that most men sports are more trending and more exciting to watch than females own but that does not mean the funding (money) should be given less than men. So I think that the fans and media are responsible for it cuz the fans are the ones that support the players at which is better and for the media, they share more of the men's sports than the females so people prefer men sports more ,so I think that they should just be sharing the female sports also so that it will all be equal because it's not fair that the amount of money giving is less than men's they give the MEN sports more money than the female sports and I think it's not fair!.
Firstly, can you give reasons for your opinion about men's sport being more exciting? Secondly, why do you think men's sport receives more funding?
I think MEN sports are more exciting because the men support them more even when it comes to going to view the games the turn out of the men to cheer up their I fellow Brothers is more.
Secondly I think MEN sports receive more funding because they have more fans and the more fans you have the more revenue you generate which will the timing the payment of the players.
Can you think of examples of how we can promote women's sports?
Now, the reason that women's sports doesn't get as much attention as men's sports is because over the years men have been known to take care of the house, while women talked care of the children. It is now a stereotype to portray the man as the one who works and provides, while the woman the one who stays at home to take care of the kids. If women are allowed to participate in sports like men, it will remove the excitement and buildup of men's sports, you may not realize it, but sports is built on the foundation that men are better than women. If women were to participate, that buildup and excitement will be gone, and unfortunately, for the big people behind sports. That auxillary feeling is more important than equality.
Interesting point you made about stereotypical gender roles in society. Why do you think it is important that men and women have equal rights?
Ms/Mrs. Molly, I believe that the importance of equal rights stems from our human society. Humans are social creatures, they need other like-minded people to speak to them, men and women may seem like complete opposites, but all of us are still human. This relationship between different genders is very important to maintain cultural and economic stability within our civilizations. That is without talking about marriage, or that if no people marry we will go extinct. The human body needs someone that you can learn from, someone that is different, this difference helps us, as social creatures evolve, and it helps further our understanding of the world. (I am sorry that I didn't reply to you earlier, I had used all my comments)

Hi Molly @ Topical Talk
It is important that men and women have equal rights because men and women are both humans and they are of one God and were created by the same God.
I think the best available source to reduce this effect of gender inequality is the government, government should organize programs for both parents and youth to advice them on the negative impact of gender inequality to both the society and the individuals.
THANK YOU.....

Earlier there was no chance that women would be allowed to perform in sports not even in any of discussion or can do business or work as mentality of people was that men are more superior than women .but now in a advance world women are now allowed to step out from their limit.sychology of people , media's importance and audience love and sport plays a really important role in women 's sport . The women from every part of the world demand that the sports are not just made for men but even a women should get a opportunity to proof themselves and the most important thing is that women even didn't fail here also. Thier sucess is celebrated by whole world and hence we can say women 's sport is know a women's sucess .
In my point of view , women's football can be in a spotlight with the help of media , help of the government and ofcourse fans.
Until and unless the media and the government is not contributing to showcase the talent of womens in sports ,there will be very less content for the society . There are alot of hidden gems in this world who can ace football and most of them are women. In my country , I rarely have heard of women football or even cricket . There should be more content so that every citizen can support the players. I hope in the near future the media and the government starts highlighting these points.
Very true, the government, media, and fans do help in the promotion of women's football, but another factor that helps are us every topical talker can help promote women's sports, we have the power to show the world the equality of female sports, everyone has the right to be happy men and women alike!
Thank you for seeing my views.
Hi!
In my opinion, I think that it is the government that is responsible for supporting women in football.
In a certain country, the government is always concerned about the male national soccer team, and doesn't really pay much attention to the women national team.
Due to the male national team are being pampered They are given anything they want, leading them to slack off, and since the government is spending money on the males, nobody is even paying attention to the females.
The females are very talented; whiles the males are only loosing their matches or drawing since 2019, the females have been winning their matches consistently. They recently won a match against another country, and the score was 3-0, but that match wasn't even displayed on some TV stations, because all the attention is sent to the males due to the support from the government.
In conclusion, I think that the government is responsible for supporting the women, because due to all the funds going into the male's national team, they are being over pampered and not focusing, whiles the females are doing very well, but not getting the recognition they need.
I exceedingly agree with you, you couldn't have said it better. But I think that the media, spectators and government all play a part in supporting women's sports. To commence, the government play a huge part in supporting women's sports, like providing them with allowances, kits, equipment etc. and endorsing them openly. But here in my country, this is not going on, such as how practically the whole country had to protest before the women national football team were paid their wages, which was even 14 times less than the men’s wages. Also, the media play a huge part in supporting women's sports, by hyping up women’s sports and making those who don’t like women’s sport feel like they are really missing out on wonderful entertainment, but the media are rather publishing the huge losses by professional women national teams to groups of amateur boys and the media also don’t usually broadcast women’s sport, since they feel it is not worthy enough to invest in. Last but not least, the spectators play a crucial part in supporting women's sports, the spectators need to cheer the players on and also comfort them when they loose
I think the people most responsible for supporting women's sports are the women who want to play sports. Seeing something that you are interested in but not allowed to compete or play in is hard.This is why those women may start rally's or petitions to raise awareness about them and how they should be allowed to play sports.Then the media could get involved making it more a reasonable idea.Then we get fans wanting this to actually happen. Finally they government makes the dream actually come true allowing the women to play the sports they wish to choose.All it takes is one person or one thing to make a change that we would have never guessed or thought would happen. Another case would be women's voting rights.We seen that all it took was a little protest and understanding to allow women to finally vote and be seen and heard in politics.
I'm not sure about your comment on women's right to vote. Can you give any examples of gender inequality that still exists in politics today?
HI,
Some gender inequality or gender gaps i've noticed is the amount of women who have ran for a position in politics and has actually won. The rate for men running for vice president ,or president ,is very high. For example hillary clinton ran for president in 2016 and came very close to winning. on the other hand Kamala harris has become a beacon showing that women are equal to men and can do the same as them as seen as her being vice president.I think that in the future more and more women will get into politics and sooner or later society will have its first female president!(sorry i couldn't respond earlier i did not have any more post).
What steps can we take to get more women into politics?
Hello!
I believe that to encourage women with the idea of politics, we can take multiple steps:
- STarting by creating groups or posting on social media to raise awareness about women in politics.
-Share graphs and recent data to show the lower representation of women in office compared to men.
-Use social media to exaggerate the importance of women being equally significant as men in all aspects.
-Encourage women in politics to share their perspectives with others to show the crucial need for women in politics.
-Consider multiple social media posts, fundraisers, and even books or magazines as potential ways to increase women's involvement in politics.
Thank you !!!
Okay
I think we can get more women into Politics by empowering them and also encouraging them that they are equal with their opposite sex in the society.
We should spend more time and money educating women an d help the find pleasure in politics so that the can rule us.
In Nigeria there was a time a women contested to be the president but at the end she only had one vote, this is sort of discouragement from the citizens we have to try to make them feel among in other to great equilibrium among male and females, and also stop the bias going on in the nation.
I believe when women are lectured to know the importance of politics they would love to venture into it.
I believe that women should be increasing steadily in the commas, these brings about equality before the rule of law.

In my opinion, media role is less important than family background. In our country, I feel that there are less opportunities for girls than boys. Because mostly in families girls grown up with this statement that some fields are specific for girls like teacher, doctor etc. Mostly we thought that girls can't do best some fields but girls have taken too. If we increase interest of women in sport government can also focused and media will also highlight it automatically.
I think YOU play a crucial role in supporting women's football, because if you, your family, friends (...) all watch women's football on the BBC, or whatever platform you are watching it on, the platform will then realise this is something people are interested in. This means that platform will want stream more games, try to organise matches, promote it, cover it on newspapers, in headlines, attracting other platforms to do the same and more people ultimately have an interest in women's football. It starts with you, and then a chain reaction will take place. YOU and others, can be responsible for supporting women's football.
The most important thing to advance a country's football is the love and support of the common people.
Officials associated with the government and football federations are also organizing local tournaments and engaging with fans on social media to encourage more girls and women to play football.Women's achievements should be highlighted.Actively promoting and promoting women in football through various media channels. It can create opportunities to inspire the next generation of women and girls to take up the game and build a professional career in the game. Involving ex-football players.” Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said her government has always given importance to sports, as it helps to develop future citizens. can
He said, "We want the people of the country to become better citizens through sports."
I feel like, it is essential to shine a spotlight on women's sports to promote gender equality and celebrate the incredible talent and dedication of female athletes. By showcasing women's sports, we can inspire the next generation of young girls to pursue their athletic dreams and break down barriers in the sporting world. Let's continue to support and uplift women in sports to create a more inclusive and diverse athletic community for all.
I believe that the responsibility for supporting women's football does not lie with any single entity but is shared among many stakeholders. The stakeholders are:
The Fans, who support the game and ultimately are the lifeblood of any sport. With their enthusiasm, a demand for more coverage, better facilities, and greater investment in women's football will emerge.
The Media, which plays a huge role in shaping perceptions and the coverage of women's sports, putting it in the public eye.
The Government and Sport Governing Bodies, which can develop the women's game through funding, policies, and providing opportunities for female players.
In my opinion through collaboration and commitment across these groups will play an essential role for driving forward the progress and popularity of women's football and ultimately women sports globally.
With women's football, there is definitely a lot of inequality. This is not fair at all and we need to come up with a way to even out this imbalance and put an end to this unfairness. I had a thought about having professional mixed football teams. This would definitely be more fair and everybody would be included a lot more. Additionally, it will show that women can do what men can do and I think more girls will want to play because it would get advertised more on television: this could also be another way of encouraging girls to play from a young age. If this were to happen, I believe that girls and boys would bond better friendships, as well as hopefully the players getting paid the same, fairly.
I think that the women's sports are not watched as much as the others and the men's sports are usually watched more than the women's. With football a lot of people don't know about some of the women football players. Most people would know Messi or Ronaldo but some of the women football players are better than them.
I think the men should be more responsible for soporting womens football because they only care about the mens football because they think men are better than girls at everything like
the fastest person is a men bestest footbller is a men and when thay say thats true they do like bestest footballer vs a girl and I say that is unfair.
I think fans are the most responsible people who support women's sports. They help for starters by paying tickets to go and watch the match - it brings in revenue - and they also might encourage others to watch sports with women to see the different playing styles. Also, this helps people to expand their knowledge on women's sports if they don't know that much about those different sports. It boosts the club to know that they have people actually watching them and it makes sense. They use the excitement they get from fans and use it to bring a good morale to the team while using a team spirit. In football, they will use revenue to increase the training facilities and for training equipment so they can test their skills. But for basketball they might try and buy just equipment and try to do skills that might've never been performed before. So I think that it is the fans who are responsible for the support of women's sports.
There are a lot of people who should support women in football. One of the main groups of people are the media since they're paid to support and commentate things like football. The media is what is mainly going to bring more attention to something such as women's football since when it comes to sports, most things gain fame from the media. Also the fans should support them since they're fans of the sport in the first place.
Women in football still faces many challenges today even if there is a bigger representation of women on it.
In my perspective the most responsible is the football association itself. These organizations like FIFA have the power and the necessary fund to create more programs and initiatives for women. If they support them they set good examples about gender equality.
They can broadcast women's matches and host tournaments.
With this way a larger audience will be attracted and it will become more popular.
womens football is a talented sports and many people are overating the mens football which is underestimating womans football and evan so how much they are getting paid and evan jugging how famous they are.
I think that fans, media and the government are all responsible to encourage the women in sport.
I think that fans are responsible to encourage the women in sports. They have a very important role to encourage them like they can say the names of the players While watching the match in the stadium.
I think that the media has an important role to encourage the women in sports. People in media can say encouragements like go on you are the best in sports.
I think that the government has an important role to encourage the women in sports. The government can give a money prize to the woman team that win a tournament.
I think many fans can play a big role in supporting women in football. They can be positive throughout the whole game. While people cheer women in football, they are uplifting their spirits. Out of all of the things happening to women, like men thinking they're better than women. Women are still doing the things they love. They're ignoring those people who talk bad about them and being grateful for the ones who are with them right now. They can support their emotions and energy into the game. Fans can impact the success of women playing football.
there is no doubt in your speech that women are highly skilled but how will women be good participacts
I think the media is responsible for supporting women in sports and increasing its popularity. The more positive things about women in sport people post on the media the more popularity it will get making more people talk about it,or watch it. This can lead to more equal rights and opportunities for women in sport.
In my opinion women sports are sport that has the potential to transform the lives of women and girls for the better, yet the opportunities are not always there for them. We need your help to create a future where everyone can benefit from sport and also sport has the power to change lives. The ability to drive gender equality by teaching women and girls teamwork, self-reliance, resilience and confidence. Women in sport defy gender stereotypes and social norms, make inspiring role models, and show men and women as equals.
In my opinion I think that the participation of women and girls in sports, physical fitness, and exercise has been recorded to have existed throughout history. However, participation rates and activities vary in accordance with nation, era, geography, and stage of economic development. While initially occurring informally, the modern era of organized sports did not begin to emerge either for women or men until the late industrial age and also Women's involvement in sports is more visible in well-developed countries and today their level of participation and performance still varies greatly by country and by sport.
When looking at who plays the biggest role in supporting women in football, different perspectives emerge. It can be argued that fans have a crucial part to play in promoting and advocating for women's football. The media also holds responsibility in showcasing and providing coverage for women's football matches and players. Governments can support women's football through funding, policies, and initiatives to encourage participation. However, it is also important to consider other stakeholders such as sponsors, coaches, and organizations in promoting gender equality in football.
I think it is the government who should play an important role at women playing football because I think it is their job to encourage girls to play football or any kinds of sports. I think that the government should give some money to try and encourage more females to play sports. I understand that most people think that women should not play sports and that had made some girls feel bad and stop playing the sport they were playing. I know that men's football are currently far more popular than women's football but I think it is no reason for the girls to stop playing.
I also think that the media should play an important role because the media should tell more people about women's football. If the media does succeed at telling more people about women's football, I think it will get more popular after some time.
I think the media should be responsible for supporting women in football by showing their skills and challenges and fun ways too get fans for social media and social media apps will help women's football can gain more recognition and support, helping to grow the sport and inspire young girls to pursue their passion for soccer.
I think all the three plays an important role. Women are now in every field. Mens are playing the sports from very early period of time. But now women's are also in the field and they are also getting support. But people are not funding much in women, because people think that women's are not as much strong as men. This is right. Men's are stronger then women. But till the time people won't give women's chance to show their skills how will they get to know about the talents of women. Football a game now played by women's also but is not very famous but in men's case so many players are famous. Women's in football are also competing against teams and winning trophies. So i think people should fund in women's team and give them the opportunities to come on ground.
I have noticed something with sports. We do not know if there is a female player that is better than Ronaldo or Messi, women sports is not even watched as much as men sports.
Lately the AFCON was just played and everybody was just buzzing to hear the latest new about the match. I never even knew that WAFCON existed till one of my classmates told me. Even during WAFCON, nobody was excited or tensed about it like that of men.
I just say that people should dedicate more time to women sports but they should also make sure that they do not exclude the male sports to promote equality and fairness among the two genders.
THANK YOU.
I think that women sports should be acknowledged as much as that of men. People do not know if there are some female footballers that are better than the best male players there is.
Some things that caused women sports should to not be known as much are sexism, unequal pay as much as that of men and in courageousness. This are some things that cause women sports to not be as famous as that of men.
Did you know that I never knew that there was WAFCON till a few days back.
So, in conclusion, I just say that people especially myself need to acknowledge the work of women especially when it comes to their sporting activities.
THANK YOU.
Hello everybody,
When I was in class we learnt about women's sport and I learnt that when they play tennis the tickets are more cheaper then when boys play tennis, girls get less time to play a game and in football. I mostly see boys playing football on tv more then girls. In my opinion women and men should have the same amount of time. I also learnt that in certain jobs women don't get paid as much as men and I think that that is very unfair. Everyone should get a chance to speak and chance to play on tv equally but if women don't want to play on tv much then that's fine but if they do then they should.
The media player a great role in supporting women's football because the media is global so everyone would believe and adhere to they see in the media, if more than half of the world has seen or heard about the media supporting women's football it would make everyone more interested and motivated in supporting women's football , so the government could also create awareness through the media in oder to support the women's football.
I think that the media take an important role in the women sport because the say all about the sports, in this case the women sport. I think that men and women have to pay practically the same, because it is unfair that women pay less tha men.
I believe that the women playing football themselves are those who are most important for supporting each other because there will always be other people who don’t support them and some people who do but at the end of the day as long as the women support each other then it doesn’t matter what fans and people in the media because they would be worried more about their love for the sport and as their confidence builds more and more people will support them.
I agree. The media can take a toll on everyone female athlete or not. However, I feel that the media has really affected female athletes because female have been proven to be more sensitive than men, and this is only negatively affected by social media. Not to mention some people believe female shouldn't be treated the same as a male and believes that we should not be able to play the same sports as them. I'm sure being a female athlete is a dangerous job because of haters so I commend the women brave enough to do this. As a female, social media has affected me in negative ways as well. I'm positive at least one female athlete has received hate or demeaning comments online, however, I hope they have the strength to continue their sport regardless of the hate.
In my opinion, women's sport is not equally as popular as men's sport in comparison is mainly because of the media. The media gives women's sports and their players less coverage than their male counterparts, this means that less fans watching sports are going to see a women's game on television and the popular stigma that a woman is weaker and less athletic than a man is also very damaging to their image in sports, which may results in less funds for the players since less people are paying ticket to see them plays.
I think that fans are ones who are the most responsible for supporting women in football. Because fans good or bad behavior can often bring popularity to womens football. For example there was a video that mocked one women football national team because they lost to 15 year old group of boys in not profesional metch. And that video got viral and after that more people started watching womens football. In the end fans are reason why sport even exist.
Women’s sport is less popular than men’s although men’s sport is popular women’s sport take as much care as men’s at all I want to say that women’s sport is ,and it will not be as famous as men’s
I do not agree that Woman Sport should be as much payed as man's JUST YET the woman sport is on rise and maybe 1 day it will reach the quality as man's sport, i still think that there a lot of talants is woman sport but it's still has to take some time, and then it will be the same quality as man's.
in my opion i think it is about the fan base so the men,s football is more popular because it has been around for longer but women,s football has got alot poupler since the women,s world cup since they got to the final and lost which we lost unlucky
Women in sports is a very controversial thing. This is because many people do not watch women sports, and would rather watch men's sports. Fans sometimes come to these sports, however it is not plentiful as men. This means that the fan is not the reason why women's sports are low. The government barely even talks about any sports at all, so they are also not a cause. The real reason for why women's sports are not popular is actually because of the media. In news articles, you would always see men news on sports. This stand makes it seem like women in sports do not matter. There should be more news articles showing women in sports. Some companies, however, help women in sports. In the WNBA(Women's National Basketball Association), the NBA gives a portion of their money to fund the stadiums. Overall, news anchor should create a balance of men and women in sports.
In my opinion that in this era Women’s sport is as interesting as men’s also It takes every single cup in men’s such as world cup another thing women is popular through is the Enthusiasm in the match
There are a lot of women who are into sports, but I think the athletes are the ones who are responsible for supporting women in sports. They are experienced and will be able to talk to women better. They have ways of talking too, but women also have to be open and ready to listen before they can be supported. So, in my opinion the athletes are the supporters and women are the listeners and supported.
I strongly support women’s participation in sports, which has grown over the last couple of years, And female athletes and players have become role models, symbols of power, and inspiring figures.
Women have become magnificent in many sports like football, basketball, tennis, handball, and even horse riding.
Overall women’s participation in sports is a huge step in this world.
I honestly think that we are all responsible of the few support in womens sports , but I think that the biggest role in the neglect of women's sports is played by the media. I think we can see this best with the example of football, where female football players are paid much less. Also world cup is the most famous sporting event in the world, but when the women's world cup is held, it is completely ignored by the media. Even when they are talked about, their physical appearance is most often mentioned and criticized.
I believe that the fans and media play a crucial role in supporting women sport First let's start with the fans. The fwwc (fifa women world cup) that was hosted or played in Australia lots of people came to watch especially when Spain and England played the attendance reached 75,784 people so if lots and lots of people keep on coming the more famous it becomes .
Media
For example people are unable to get to the stadium we are the match is being held this means that they can use the media to watch the match which can be through tv or phones e.t.c and like I said when more people watch the more famous it becomes because definitely people have to be talking about it
So in conclusion, the fans and media both play a crucial role in supporting women sport
Thanks for sharing! Please can you provide some sources for your information?
Well one source of my information is I watch a lot of TV that's how I got access to the fwwc and I follow the tournament on the media so I won't miss a thing and my friends also provide me with some updates on the tournament

In mu opinion the media helps in making women’s sport famous through the social media apps such as facebook and instagram also women’s sport are entertaining and that how it’s famous topic to talk about thanks you had hopeful squirrel
Women can do sports that stereotypes say are for boys too. It is very important to know that your gender is welcome to different sports even if people say they are for the oppisite.
Hi there! I think that women have the ability to play sports better than men such as Newcomb ball, netball, acrobatic gymnastics, and tumbling, gymnastics, and possibly stoolball, but they can't play some sports as professional as men, such as football, basketball, handball and martial sports. Finally, the women, like men, havevsame abilities as men..
Thank you and goodbye!
To begin with, supporting women's football involves fans, media, governments, sports organizations, and sponsors. Fans can show support by attending games and engaging online. Media coverage helps raise awareness and change perceptions. Governments should fund programs and ensure fairness in sports. Sports organizations like FIFA should provide resources for female athletes. Sponsors can invest in facilities and training. Equal pay and treatment need to be pushed for. Cooperation among all these groups is key. Everyone plays a part in supporting women's football and equality in sports.
It's wonderful to learn about everyone's views on the significance of backing women's football, from both supporters and the government. It's clear that dedicating resources and raising awareness about the advantages of sports, such as football, for women is essential in promoting involvement and nurturing talent. Azizat Oshoala's achievements truly showcase how dedication and fan support have influenced her path. By sharing these success stories and pushing for more chances for women in sports, we can help create a more diverse and fair sporting environment.
I think the history of womens rights plays a crutial role. Troughout history women have been looked down upon and men have been elevated. Mens football was always shown way more on TV and in news aritacals because of women's statuses in the world back then so people aren't really familiar with the history of womens football as much as men's. Which I think is absolutely ricidulous because women's history in football is just as interesting as men's.
I believe that the media is the most responsible for supporting women in football. The media always promotes women's sports. There are also many people who watch women in football. Those people who are fans may promote them using social media.
Women should be able to play sport freely and sexism should stop. Because younger girls might not want to play sport because of it. I think this is very wrong
