These days, there is a significant difference between men and women’s sports coverage on television channels. I believe that women’s sports should get just as much coverage as men’s, and will outline my reasons in the following essay.
To begin with, there are many reasons for the dominance of men over women’s sports programs on TV. Due to a large proportion of male sports viewers, TV channels tend to produce sports programs for men to maximize their ratings and profits. Take football as an example. When entering a coffee shop, it is easy to catch groups of men having discussions about a recent men’s football match, while women show greater preference for shopping or lifestyle channels. Besides, because men usually perform better than women in sports such as boxing and bodybuilding, they play at a much higher level, which makes men’s sports more exciting to watch.
On the other hand, I am of the opinion that it is necessary for TV channels to provide equal coverage for both genders. First, it creates gender equality in society and increases the rate of women’s sports participation. In fact, every time women go out on the field, they give it their all knowing that their best will likely go unnoticed. Therefore, just like men, female athletes should receive full recognition for their effort. Secondly, better TV coverage also enables women to make money off from endorsements and enhance their living standard. That is to say, more TV exposure for the female players will lead to major deals with endorsers and higher salaries in the future through advertising contracts.
In conclusion, why women’s sports shows do not receive enough coverage in this day and age results from those aforementioned reasons, and I truly believe that it is necessary to ensure equal coverage of women’s sports.
These days, when it comes to sport, a higher number of games played by men are broadcast, compared to that of women. A growing number of people having more interest in men’s sporting events is the main reason for this and I believe that equal attention should be paid to women’s sport.
The major factor leading television producers to prioritise men’s sport is the audience watching male athletes competing considerably outnumbers people watching shows of their female counterparts. More viewers mean more profits, advertising contracts and sponsorship investments for the TV channels broadcasting the shows. Take football in Vietnam as an example. Men’s football match at the 30th SEA games attracted millions of people both from different parts of Vietnam and other neighbouring countries, while the figure for women’s match was significantly lower. Giving men’s sport a higher priority is, therefore, a wise strategy to earn large profits and attract more investment.
However, I would argue that TV coverage should not be biased towards men’s sport and that female athletes should be given equal opportunities. If men’s sports programmes continue to receive significantly more coverage than the programmes of their opposite sex, it might increase gender inequality, which is one of the most serious issues in many parts of the world today. Another thing is that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people who have interest in women’s sport in recent years, and hence, television coverage should focus more on this area.
In conclusion, a wider audience watching men’s sports channels is the most important reason why TV producers provide more men’s shows than women’s shows, and I am of the opinion that there should be a greater equality in the coverage of men’s and women’s sport.
