The lack of women’s sport that the media has is disappointing and a big slap in the face to all women. As far as I can find out about 8.7% of all sport on TV is women’s sport, that’s no good, the rest is men’s sport. I like men’s sport but I like and would like to see a lot more women’s sport.
Why the lack of interest from the media. Right now we have the WNBL, it is the only regaler women’s sport we have, and the W-league has ended. The WNBL & the W-League are on ABC and are replays, pay-tv has some but not everyone has pay-tv and they do not tell you what is on anyway. They do have some on the net but if you have slow internet or not much download time that’s out, so TV is the only way to watch the games. We have great sporting women so why do we not give them air time.
For younger girl and women to see there sporting champions would inspire them to the best they can be which would improve their skill and talent on and off the field.If we can break down the barrier between women and men on the sport field would go a long way to equality for all.
Right now in Australia women's sport is about 8.7% of the total sport covered on television. Most of the women's sport on television are replays. The lack of women’s sport that the media has is disappointing and a big slap in the face to all women.
Equality for women on and off the field would go a long way to help younger women in their life. Sport plays a big part in a lot of people’s lives so showing more sport with women is a positive think, so please vote and help get the message out there so we can make sport equal for all.
