Gender Role Stereotypes in the Sports Industry
Societal stereotypes that affect individuals at a young age (sports participation)
Main Topic
Societal stereotypes result in damaging influences that restrict young children from participating in sports.
societal pressures/stereotypes are restricting many young
girls
from participating in sports
Individuals are most influenced at a young age, and thus this age range is when social skills and athletic abilities are developed. It is crucial that at a young age, individuals are receiving the best possible environment.
Simply, children are our future, and societal stereotypes need to be addressed at a young age.
my project aims to prove that societal stereotypes truly affects children, especially girls, and applies pressures that restrict them from sport participation. This knowledge is valuable because we do not want to restrict our children from any opportunities.
many of the gender role issues in professional sports, is a result from societal stereotypes that influence individuals at a young age
How do gender-role stereotypes at a young age reflect into the professional scene?
In order to solve the issue of damaging stereotypes in the sports scene, it is vital to attack the issue at a young age
gender-role stereotypes affect young children, at that culture continues as they grow up. It's the idea that our children are born into a society with predetermined gender-roles, and that carries on into the next generation.
Understanding gender-role stereotypes is the first steps to removing them from the sports scene.
Disparity between male and female athletes in the professional sports industry and how gender roles are included
Main Topic
address athletics from a young age, and how it reflects into the professional world. Gender roles affect much more than just athletes, I also want to discuss sports organizations and workplace environments.
It is also apparent that male and female athletes are viewed differently. Female athletes are judged by their physical appearance and femininity alongside their athletic accomplishments.
society puts implicit pressures on male athletes and their masculinity
A common is issue is how the media portrays and sells athletes.
Studies show that ESPN’s programming is only 8% women sports, and its because women sports make considerably less revenue.
There is a significant pay gap between men and women in the sports community, not because of economic rationale, but rather social factors
Why do women sports recieve less coverage and overall less revenue
Implicit and explicit gender stereotypes is a major creditor to this issue.
There is a clear disparity between men and women athletes and how they are treated. Male sports dominate the media, male athletes are paid considerably more
Creating positive environments for children that encourage sport participation
Main Topic
Studies show that sport participation and athletic abilities have direct influences on an individuals self-esteem and overall self-worth
This knowledge is valuable because we do not want to restrict our children from any opportunities.
Understanding this perspective is crucial because sports participation needs to be encouraged to all genders. Athletic abilities and passion for a sport is developed at a young age
Sports form communities, social skills, and the ability to work well with others. Knowledge from my research can be used to form more inviting sports environments, in attempts to involve more kids.
This topic should matter to everyone, even non sports fans, because sports is one of the most influential industries in our society.
sports establishes communities and brings together all social classes, genders and races. You can observe this idea with all fan groups, people put aside their differences and rally behind their favorite teams.
Even if you’re not a sports fan, you can understand that sports build great social and team building skills for our children. Creating positive environments for our children should be important for everyone.
MISC.
As an economics major, I answer/understand these issues with a rational and statistical point of view
Many of the sources I chose have extensive pools of data, which allows the study to run regression tables, in order to compute a standard deviation and trend line. I have done this countless times as an economic student, and I will use this as my significant contribution.
I am interested in this topic because I have loved sports from a young age. I have played sports my entire life, and it would be a dream come true if I could work in the sports industry. From my experience, sports are much more than a competitive outlet.
My project explores gender-role stereotypes that we all already know about, however, we continue to live in a society that promotes this culture. I hope to raise awareness and for this project to act as a catalyst, in attempts to make a change for the better.
I think these three aspects are important because they all interact with each other, and understanding one, gives insight to understand the other.
