Today, TV channels provide men’s sport shows more than women’s sports shows. Why? Should TV channels give equal time for women’s sport and men’s sport?

In recent years, men’s
sport
 shows considerably outnumber those of women. There has been an opinion that men and women

 program should be given equivalent TV coverage. In
this
 essay, I would argue why
this
 is not a smart idea. There is an array of reasons why TV producers are in favour of men’s
sport
 competition rather than women’s. The most fundamental one is due to the prejudice of
gender
. A great number of people find women games are boring and not
worthwhile whereas

 men’s are regarded as fully conveying the spirit of sports.
This
 is because the public

 women with household responsibility which means women’s physical capacity is pitifully devalued. Meanwhile, men are considered the symbol of strength and
therefore
, men arouse higher public’s attention in terms of physical strength than women do. The
second
 reason is the profit of the television station. It is evident that the majority of

 teams. Thanks to that deep-ingrained bias of the audience, people working in broadcasting sector would gain enormous profit from advertising contracts only by dedicating its prime time to the most sensational

However

 games is unrealistic. It is probable that people who are of that opinion find that imbalance extremely unfair and they think equal coverage is a way to discourage
gender
 discrimination. But I think they are ridiculously optimistic.
Firstly
, the main audience of
sport
 shows is male, and giving women shows more airtime cannot change
this
 group preference.
Therefore
, it could not make any big stride in confronting

 inequality. I believe that
