If you’ve been paying attention to sports or new channels lately, you may have noticed the controversy over Serena Williams actions in the U.S. open. This has sparked our interest, and inspired us to do our project on the importance of women in sports.

We will be addressing our main question, “Why are women being treated differently in sports?”

We will:

• Show the difference in attendance to a boys football game vs. a girls soccer game
• Do research on past and current controversies surrounding the topic
• Explain and describe the future for women’s sports
• Most importantly, show support for our girls sports teams

We will also be covering other questions like:

• Why is their pay different?
• What are the opportunities outside of college?
• Why does the media dramatize situations involving female athletes?
