Ladies Day 5 suggestions
11)
It’s a sport, not a cause. I think this happens
so often that people treat women athletes that there doing things such great
things for a culture when we should be treating them just like any other
athlete. Women athletes have just as remarkable athletic abilities, skill and
other characteristics that relate them to male athletes.
22)
Market to both genders. I thought someone
brought up a great point in class that by marketing to both genders you are
marketing to women by relating them to women athletes, and by marketing to men
you are marketing to the fathers of the female athletes.
33)
Sell sex appeal, Not Sex. The female athletes
don’t need to be posting nude pictures to be for people to like them as an
athlete. To get fans they just need to do what they do and fans will see their
talents and appreciate what they do.
44)
Think globally, act locally. Women’s sports are
best at the local levels, that is when there are the most participates and
there is an opportunity for the communities to get involved.
55)
Show Patience. Women’s sports are not the most
popular in today’s day but looking back on where they have come from they have
come a long way from where they were and I think they will continue to grow.

My two favorite suggestions were “It’s a sport, not a cause” and “Show patience”. I think that these are the two biggest things that people need to remember when dealing with women sports. Many people act as if the purpose of women’s sports is to promote female power and show that they are equal to men. That isn’t the case though. Female athletes play because they love the sport and competition, the same reason as men. We need to get rid of this stigma that women need to “prove themselves” and just let them play. Showing patience is also very important when dealing this women’s sport. I believe with time the current views on women athletes will change drastically and they will not be looked at differently than male athletes.
