Women are a vital part in humanity (hello that's how we are all here) which is WHY we are just as important and relevant and QUALIFIED to talk about sports just as much as men
Josina Anderson talks about the disrespect that women still face and WHY they deserve to be in conversations about male dominated sports
After reading numerous articles, watching interviews and reading Twitter (which is rough) there is still so much more that needs to be done - but we have come such a LONG way!!
But in order to do more we have to stop doing this....
LaVar Ball blatantly disrespects Kristine Leahy... watch below
If I have learned one thing in my career in school, in life and working with people - behavior is LEARNED - culture is LEARNED - ideas are LEARNED and INFLUENCED by what we see. Therefore we have to do a better job at treating women with respect in all aspects but very importantly in such a male-dominated field.
Different perspectives are how we learn as not only a country but as a world. I decided to do my capstone project on the struggles that women face in the sports media industry because I strive to be a woman who becomes a woman in the sports media industry. I know it will be hard and I know that although we have come a long way, there is still a long way to go.
