Compared to female sports.
I find this an interesting point of discussion. It's certainly changing and women's sports are gaining more media coverage, but equality of media coverage seems to be a long way off. In fact, I don't think we will ever achieve it, quite frankly. Men's sport is far more popular among the general public, it's of a higher standard and more exciting to watch.
I've even spoken to a number of women about this issue and they agree that men's sport is more entertaining and more people follow it. So even most women themselves prefer watching men's sport - that's saying something!
But should this mean men's sport gets more media coverage? Just because it's popular? Perhaps it's popular because it gets most of the media coverage. If the sports pages of newspapers were equal between men's and women's football (for example), would we see more people follow the women's game?
I'd love to hear the views of men, women and any feminists on this particular issue.
As an aside point, I also think women undermine themselves in the equality argument when it comes to certain sports eg. tennis. Men play best of 5 sets in grand slams, women play best of 3 sets, but the women get paid the same. What happened to equal pay for equal work? If feminists truly believed in equality, they would be arguing for this to be changed (but they are not, I wonder why?).
