(Crelin 2022, used Forbes 2019) “Collegiate women athletes were largely limited to competing.” shows that equality wasn’t a strong point, he also states “Athletic competitions often did not permit women to participate” which implies it really wasn't fair for the women it shows now different they were treated compared to men.

5. Based on the topic you are studying find a relevant website and provide a paraphrased sentence with appropriate referencing.

Descriptive
The disparity between women and men in professional sports has a massive impact towards Women and their professional career as Kosofsky (1993) States that women have limited professional opportunities in sports as the available positions are small and the pay is rarely enough to make a living which shows us women have less opportunities than men or the opportunities would be the same for both men and women. 
Another thing to back this up is that woman's entry to support happen later than then due to social restrictions which resulted in women's sports such as football being less popular than men's (Saxena 2021), this shows us that men started their professional career before women, so they have more popularity.

Critical
This paragraph is to talk about the disparity between men and women's professional sports as men currently have it easy where they are well known in media and are usually the main gender of football to come on TV whereas women aren't published as much in the media, and they also don't have as much screen time or funding than men do. “The women also alleged that the USSF denied them at least equal playing, training, and travel conditions; equal promotion of their games; equal support and development for their games; and other terms and conditions of employment equal to the MNT.” (Kennedy 2019). Shows the unfairness between men and women as women got denied from equal training, wage and funding than men which made them have less support in their games compared to males. 

Comments

  1. When writing a citation or paraphrasing a quote make sure to not have these in quotations marks as this makes it into a direct quote. When paraphrasing use this method. White (2022) suggested/implied/proposed/advocated that gender pay gaps are immoral and wrong. Suggest the researchers ideas as this helps you to show your understanding of the research. Also as a side not e it is good to see you are using a wider range of research looking at journals and articles within this section. Keep that up as previously mentioned these carry heavier more compelling arguments.
