Coverage in womens sports and womens sports in general has always taken a back seat to male sports since the beginning of time. Although there have been certain advances over time with women in sports, they still are no where near the level of male athletes. All of the coverage on t.V. is mainly male sports and when there is womens sports, they are usually broadcasted at strange hours and are on channels that aren't very popular. Also, you never see women doing gatorade commercials or advertising for most sports equipment. Instead, they are often subjected to do commercials that use their bodies to sell a product. An example would by the sony cybershot digital camera where maria sharapova is dressed in her sexy tennis outfit and acting subliminally permiscuous. On the other end, males are doing all the intense sports related commercials like underarmor and gatorade. This is extremely unfair to female athletes because they have worked just as hard as any other male to reach the top and they do not receive nearly as much as attention as male athletes. One thing i have also noticed is that there ar never nearly as many people attending womens sporting events through all levels of competition. from high school to pros, there is always a discrepency between the amount of fans attending a male event and a female event. This topic of how women are treated in the professional sports world will never be solved because for some reason, many people do not feel that women are as intense or as good at sports as males. This may seem harsh, but a majority of society feels this way including many women.
