in sport
a) I think this happens because there is not much
interest in womens sport from the public therefore
sponsors and media outlets will not get attracted
to the person. Sponsors dont want to finance
individuals and teams that dont get exposure.
b)The result is that womens sport will seem cheaper
and lose way more focus since there arent any
sponsors.
c) Yes it is important, younger children that want to
play sports would mostly be boys since they see
how much attention they would get and they can
get paid well whereas, most girls arent interested
because womens sport does not spark a lot of
interest.
d)I think the public should seek interest in womens
sport which will attract sponsors and they will
make more money to attract an even bigger crowd.

a) The difference is 39.
b)It tells us way more men are sponsored and this
could lead to being sexist.
c) The sponsors are responsible for all the equipment
and sportswear and they pay the athletes to
promote their brand.
d)Girls will feel as though its not worth trying to play
sports professionally and boys will feel that it is
definitely worthwhile.
e) The difference in gender in sport needs to stop
because it is sexist and unfair.
