A Closer Look On Sports Oppression And Its Impact On Women

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 all the fun and inspiring stories we hear about this arena is not the only issue present on this popular activity. It also has some dark sides about it. Sports oppression is one of the hottest issue even until now. May it be a group, a minority or a specific game that is the subject of this oppression, its impact is quite notable.

Among the recipients of this are the women. While we all can agree how ladies have established a strong position in the sport arena, it remains a fact that males excel more. The constant comparison between genders is on of the reasons why there are hot debates on the real status of women when it comes to playing games.

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.

However, this does not mean as well that things can just go smoothly from there. The number of people who show disrespect for females who are taking a step up is quite significant. It affects a lot of women on different sport. Those who are new to the industry and have not build a strong barrier when it comes to protecting their mindset from those criticism are likely to get discouraged.

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

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.

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

If you are 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.
