(1/8) This week marks the 47th anniversary of the Battle of the Sexes. Congratulations to @BillieJeanKing and thank you for paving the way for women's sports. #WomenOfCourage #tennis #WomenInSport

It's 2020, sexism in tennis has to STOP.

Almost 50 years since the "battle of the sexes", female tennis players still face challenges at every corner.

To this day players like Coco Gauff , Serena Williams & Andy Murray, are trying to promote equality.

At a CrossFit gym, seeing women with muscles is not unusual and many can lift just as much weight as the men.

CrossFit is breaking down the female body stereotypes.

@em_ilycarter It’s interesting to see how sports can determine our social groups, much more than we think it does. #JRNL3804

https://t.co/9RtOAQY01V this article is about how roller derby has helped young girls with their self-esteem. It shows how roller derby can help both demographics break stereotypes. #JRNL3804

@molly_martin1 Interesting article! This is a good example of when technology could be a bad thing.

https://t.co/kNHnK09eBv this article relates to the Martin and Nelson reading. I find it interesting that fantasy sports and worsen gambling addictions. #JRNL3804

As seen in the Rainbow Wave article, I think it is interesting that LGBTQ women have a higher success rate than their men counterparts even though more LGBTQ men ran. #discuss2401

@Christina_Clev This article is interesting because it gives you two sides to the story!

https://t.co/gN54fOzMQe This article lists the largest athlete sponsorship deals and it is shocking to see how much money these athletes get from companies. A lot are long-term or even life time deals. #JRNL3804

I don’t know how I feel about Quebec’s new “values test”. It seems as though it is turning into another melting pot situation. I understand equal rights, but taking away someone’s religious value because they are in a position of authority? #discuss2401

This article about Patrick Kane's false rape allegations reminds me of Billings chpt 11, but a downside to reporting crime against professional athletes. His career was affected because the media was too quick to report on information. #JRNL3804

The article about abandoning Columbus Day was very interesting and relevant to recent events. CU even did a protest favoring an Indigenous Peoples' day. It's awesome that we are starting to recognize Indigenous people more but also sad that the government has not #discuss2401

@KevinSports4 Kaepernick exemplifies what Americans used to value in sports “stars”, a boost for social change. It’s sad that athletes cannot voice their opinions for social change without significant back lash now. #JRNL3804

https://t.co/cz1EPt50yL Although sports fans may use sports as an escape from reality, many don’t realize it’s connection to politics. This article states good examples of when sports and politics mixed #JRNL3804

[Kelley Laxton @kela4471]

I thought the article about intersectionality in the media during the Olympics was so interesting. It’s sad to see, not only women, but women of color being shamed in the media even more than if they were just one demographic. #discuss2401

@woodyscreation I like how Malcom Brogdon brings some light to the issue with Trump and the problem with race in the country. It is true that it has brought together a community to better these stereotypes and mistreatments despite the racial opinions from Trump.

This article goes beyond media stereotypes of athletes and explains how African American football athletes are abused by their coaches because of the "super-human" stereotype they hold. #JRNL3804

[Kelley Laxton @kela4471]

The article over women as CEO’s was quite depressing. Even though only 54 out of 1000 CEOs of the top companies were women, that was said to be an “improvement”. #discuss2401
