@LanzaDesioJ I agree, I wrote about a similar topic where women were being sexualized instead of being portrayed as strong individuals

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

@saylor_hill This is very interesting to hear about because I did not know American University offered a child development program

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

@NJ_Oliver I agree and again love the gif. I wonder what life was like without technology.

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

@Joseph_Patella I like the way you introduced your topic, it is very intriguing and relates to the audience, since we were all just introduced into the world when the event occurred.

@enrierin It is cool to see that big name celebrities are being used to raise awareness for what is going on at the top of Mauna Kea.

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

@NJ_Oliver I love the gif you used. It perfectly illustrates the point you are conveying.

In order for women’s sports to become more distinguished and continue to rise in popularity, there must be an adjustment to the wage gap, an enhancement of media representation, and an increased awareness to how female athletes are portrayed #RATC19

After winning back-to-back World Cups, the world-renowned soccer team, @USWNT, has taken their platform and used it to become one of the biggest advocates for equal pay. A step in the right direction #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

Broadcasters show men’s sports in a way that engages and builds an audience. The coverage provokes a sense of excitement with colorful commentary and engaging stories whereas women’s sports are broadcasted in more of a matter-of-fact manner #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

When female athletes do get limited coverage, the media portrayal tends to be less professional, and even sometimes involves promoting sexualized contents rather than focusing on and portraying their athletic abilities #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

Without proper media representation, women are not able to be recognized for their accomplishments and the younger population of girls who aspire to be athletes are not able to watch their role models that they look up to #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

If the marketing and promotion of women’s sports does not improve then the pay gap will not change either, meaning that all forms of discrimination are connected and will affect each other #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

The wage gap is so widespread in professional sports that athletes competing at all levels, individually and as part of a team are paid substantially less than male athletes on a consistent basis #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

Women are fighting 4 equity in salary and prize money #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

Women in all areas of sports are faced with inequalities such as low salaries and inequitable media representation #RATC19

[Ashley Molz @am8291a]

What words come to mind when you think of the United States of America? Freedom? Equality? Independence? These are all common ideas, but when it comes to athletics, are all of these true? #RATC19
