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

Athletics

shows featuring men are ubiquitous in today’s context, triggering a debate among professionals and the audience.

This

essay analyzes the culprits behind and demonstrates the author’s personal perspectives on

this

trend. To start with, there are myriad reasons masculine

athletics

shows are prioritized on all media platforms.

First

,

sports

broadcasters based their content strategy on conventional concepts on gender differences. Men are associated with athletic activities, either as players or spectators. Content distributors deliver male shows to males, the majority of the audience demography

accordingly

.

Second

, there is no denying that female

athletics

challenges are set at a lower bar, restricting the exhilarating and dramatic nature. Even a handful of female

sports

fans secretly give the green light to broadcasters to place a premium on male

sports

games.

This

trend is clearly illustrated in the amount of support and salaries allocated to lady

sports

players. Notwithstanding,

this

prevalent trend and the deep-rooted mindsets behind it should be discouraged on various grounds. On the one hand, long lasted assumptions on males and females’ physical state, endurance, and tactics are being reversed on a daily basis. Not only do women fancy watching physical activities, but they

also

get trained to become professionals as intensively as guys.

Thus

,

sports

programs featuring women should be given more screentime to act as a source of observation and inspiration alongside just pure entertainment.

On the other hand

, by intensifying the line between guys and females in any context, children are conditioned to deem women as inferior. As a slippery slope, from a seed of inequality in their mind, male children grow up to discriminate against females, whereas female children confine themselves in a cage, refusing to explore their potentials.

For instance

, female athletes might discourage themselves from equally intensive training schedules as their male counterparts, not fully aware of how destructive self-restriction is in the

athletics

world. To conclude, there are ample comprehensible but inexcusable reasons for the favour on

sports

shows starring men, the demerits of which outweigh any imaginable merits.
