On Monday in class we started watching a movie and
it was mostly about sports which let me tell you I love sports which most girls
don’t. First off when I was in High School I was a three sport athlete all four
years playing soccer, basketball, and running track. The guy in this video
talks about how masculinity is shown all over in sports especially in football.
Football shows men that they should be tough no matter what. If they are
injured they need to get up and play through the pain. What does this show men?
It shows them that they can’t ever be weak that no matter how much pain they
are going through they need to suck it up or people will think that they are a
girl. Which I kind of take to defense because saying that means that girls are
always weak when it comes to pain. Myself being an athlete I have played through
pain (all of my toes broken). This is said all over in sports that if someone
has a bad game or gets hurt and doesn’t get up then automatically they are a
girl. I think people need to stop looking down at girls especially in the
sports world. Like it said in the video that back then women sports used to be
all over the television and now you barley see any women sports unless they are
in a bikini. The point to all of this sports shouldn’t degrade men and make fun
of them if they get hurt or have a bad game nor should girls be degraded.
