Sports Oppression In Women And Its Effects

By Toni Vang


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

But while we see fun and great things about games, its also not an exemption to some socila issues that has struck different industries. Sports oppression is among the hottest topic that continues to be a part of debate and even analysis on some experts. This is a term used to somehow describe the disadvantaged position of a certain group of players in one event.

Women are usually the most common party affected by this. Criticisms about their credibility or competence in playing some games have always received strong opinions from those who are on their side and those who are against it. Whichever side you are, it is undeniable that it impacts the view of the public about this female group.

Criticisms are all over. Still, there are brave women on their league who faced the crowd, played the sport of their choice, and ended up garnering the win. It is during these moments when we see why gender does not really matter. As long as they are excellent at what they do, there is no harm done.

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

Watching women play is exciting. In fact, we tend to forget this social issue when we see them excelling at a specific sport. It is important to understand though that they are those entities who managed to exercise utmost focus on their goal and turn a blind eye on the negative comments thrown at them. If those words are not helping them to build up their character and skills, they throw it off.

One key player in the proliferation of many social issue is the media. If we take a closer look, we will notice that a big chunk of sports reports covered by different platforms are focused on those games dominated by men. This eventually impacts the opinion of the public about something.

Different people have different opinion about something. And its inappropriate to judge someone if we are not even aware of the reason behind his stand. Same can be said for sports critics. They have their own perception, something which cannot be easily changed by a single argument.

If you are someone who is passionate about sports and wants to have a career in this industry, you better be ready for the challenges. Its not just all about getting yourself better at the game you love. Its also a constant battle of staying focus while all the critics are there, watching you closely, for every move that may affect your performance as a professional player.
