  1. My topic is gender inequalities in sports by grace. Bright.
  2. So what is the issue?
  3. The topic of gender inequality is mostly focused on the pay that athletes receive.
  4. The problem with men versus women is that men are paid more than women.
  5. So why is this an issue?
  6. The biggest issue is how much they get paid.
  7. People have been complaining that female athletes
  8. are paid less than male athletes.
  9. As you can see in this picture, the women is put lower
  10. than the man, even though they play the same sport.
  11. This mostly focuses on how many people watch women's sports,
  12. which isn't as many as men's sports
  13. with less people watching their sports. Women get paid less.
  14. As you can see in this picture,
  15. the U. S. Women's team won the World Cup.
  16. They are still paid less
  17. than the U. S. Men's team losing the first round of the World Cup.
  18. A quote that I found in one of my websites says
  19. fewer people watch women's sports,
  20. they are paid proportionately based on demand. And this results in higher revenue.
  21. There's a big difference in getting paid between men and women
  22. In this picture on the left,
  23. it shows a man being represented as Lionel Messi whose
  24. annual salary is $84 million dollars on the right.
  25. You can see a bunch of women players
  26. Whose combined salary is $42.6 million.
  27. The main impact on people society and sports are the mental health conditions,
  28. which are the biggest concern.
  29. So how about for people
  30. this can lead to anxiety, depression, low self esteem.
  31. PTSD. And even more.
  32. Now, what about society?
  33. This can result in gender based discrimination
  34. or violence in both sports and the workplace
  35. statistics show that people focus more on men's sports than women's sports.
  36. In the next slide, you will see that swimming is the only sport that people watch
  37. women more than men. And volleyball is the only sport watched by fans equally
  38. Based on this chart.
  39. The range of percentages of people watching women's sports is between 41 and 53.
  40. Men's is 47 and 59.
  41. You can see
  42. that there are between 40 and 60,
  43. which is not a lot if you look at all the people in the United States
  44. that watch sports.
  45. So some real world examples are based on how much athletes are paid.
  46. Male athletes
  47. In most sports receive anywhere from
  48. 15% to 100% more pay than women
  49. for media coverage.
  50. They mostly focus on the men because in most sports
  51. people would rather watch men instead of women.
  52. Alright, so for and against
  53. four,
  54. there are differences between men's sports and women's sports,
  55. like how they work.
  56. Most people just like to watch men's sports more than women's
  57. and the body mass of men versus women is completely different.
  58. Which is why there is competition in men's sports
  59. against
  60. basing equality off of how many people watch the sport
  61. telling women that they can't do a sport just because it's a men's sport.
  62. Men get paid more than women because of the differences between their sports.
  63. So what is my opinion?
  64. Inequalities and sports should not be allowed?
  65. Just because a man can do something
  66. doesn't mean a woman can't do it, too,
  67. and sports should be equal for men and women.
  68. And these are the websites I used.
