Today, TV channels broadcast men’s sports shows more than women’s sport shows. Why is this the case? Should TV channels give equal showtime for each?

Nowadays, there are more

's
sports
. I think that
men
 are involved in
sports
 in major percentage than
women
. We all know that
football
 and basketball are the most well-known
sports
 and they are almost masculine. The percentage of
men
 who play
football
 are more than double
women
 players, and
this
 situation is present not only in
football
 and basketball but
also
 in rugby, American soccer and Water polo. For that reason, TV channels broadcast
men
's
sports
 shows more than
women
's.
Besides
, there is another reason to explain that situation. In our society, boys tend to play in their free
time
football
 and basketball and girls spent their
time
 playing with dolls.
This
 behaviour made
men
 more interested in
sports
 than
women
 and in consequence, the major part of the audience is compounded by
this
 gender.
Nevertheless

 girls decided to get involved in
sports
 like
football
, tennis and volleyball and there are more girls' teams but the curious thing is, they still do not have enough
time
 on the screens, and in my opinion
that is
 the best example to show us that our society still being sexist. In my opinion,
men
's and
women
's
sports
 should have the same right to be televised in an equal proportion of
time
, independently of the audience or the sport that they play.
Moreover
, I think that could be a good step to do if a society we want to go forward.
