Women's Sports
Author: Jaime Schultz
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190657731
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Although girls and women account for approximately 40 percent of all athletes in the United States, they receive only 4 percent of the total sport media coverage. SportsCenter, ESPN's flagship program, dedicates less than 2 percent of its airtime to women. Local news networks devote less than 5 percent of their programming to women's sports. Excluding Sports Illustrated's annual "Swimsuit Issue," women appear on just 4.9 percent of the magazine's covers. Media is a powerful indication of the culture surrounding sport in the United States. Why are women underrepresented in sports media? Sports Illustrated journalist Andy Benoit infamously remarked that women's sports "are not worth watching." Although he later apologized, Benoit's comment points to more general lack of awareness. Consider, for example, the confusion surrounding Title IX, the U.S. Law that prohibits sex discrimination in any educational program that receives federal financial assistance. Is Title IX to blame when administrators drop men's athletic programs? Is it lack of interest or lack of opportunity that causes girls and women to participate in sport at lower rates than boys and men? In Women's Sports: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Jaime Schultz tackles these questions, along with many others, to upend the misunderstandings that plague women's sports. Using historical, contemporary, scholarly, and popular sources, Schultz traces the progress and pitfalls of women's involvement in sport. In the signature question-and-answer format of the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, this short and accessible book clarifies misconceptions that dog women's athletics and offers much needed context and history to illuminate the struggles and inequalities sportswomen continue to face. By exploring issues such as gender, sexuality, sex segregation, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, media coverage, and the sport-health connection, Schultz shows why women's sports are not just worth watching, but worth playing, supporting, and fighting for.

Everything I Know I Learned from Sports

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
This is a daily devotional with 365 (plus one bonus) sports related devotions. God created you. He knows your language and how to best speak to you. I think many of us struggle to hear the voice of God because we think it needs to be a struggle. But it doesn't. If you just listen, God will speak to you in a way that you understand. For me it's sports. I know sports and I love sports. So that is often the way that God speaks to me. I will be watching a game and God will say, "You see that play? Sometimes I work just like that." Over that last year or so, when God spoke to me through sports, I wrote it down. And then put them all together in this book. Nothing in here is too complicated because I'm not too complicated. I like things simple, practical, short and to the point. So these devotionals are simple, practical, short and to the point. The book is set up to be a daily devotional. There are 366 days and 366 devotions (in case you read it during a leap year). I didn't add specific dates because you don't have to wait until New Years to make resolutions. You can start this book today. I also included a scripture for everyday because I think it's important to know that all of these truths are found in the Word of God. I also think that it's important to open the Bible for yourself, so I want to encourage you to not just read that one verse. Read a few verses before and a few verses after. Or better yet read the whole chapter. Ask God to speak to you through His word. And ask God to speak to you through this book.
