While looking through the sports sections of many common websites I realized that almost the entire sports section, and the sections therein, are devoted to male athletics. On espn.go.com the main page contains only one article that relates to women in sports: the man who gave Marion Jones the drugs is interviewed. All the tabs on this page take you to one male sport or another except the one labeled "women's bb". On yahoo sports it is basically the same. The page is basically devoted to males with one article about Danica Patrick.
Although women have made enormous breakthroughs in the area of sport, society continues to shun any serious relation to women in sport. The media mainly shows female athletes in a sexually provocative manner or makes a joke of them. For people to see what female athletes accomplish, the news about them needs to get shown.
