Who We Are

We are Athletes for Change, our focus is to express the concern regarding gender roles within sports. We discuss the generalization of women in the sports media in comparison to men. We will be analyzing the deeper meanings of these representations and hope to produce a message that will inform the reader. We will be providing examples of different media forms that conform to stereotyped gender roles within sports. It will highlight how woman sports are extremely unequal compared to men. Some examples are that woman have a hard time speaking out in society because of how they are portrayed. Media has created specific norms for how genders are supposed to behave and if they fail to conform they are negatively viewed.
