Sports are something fabulous to practice and watch, but it constantly changes. In the past years,
women have made a huge difference on how sports are viewed.
Almost 50 years have passed since Title IX passed in the United States which opened
gymnasiums and playing fields to girls and women. Also, since then there have been more
women with college degrees and women’s earnings have increased.
According to the article from USA Today Sports, there’s a podcast called “Changing the
Game,” it explores how sports have nourished the gains women have made and the importance of pushing for equality and acceptance.
The podcast has many guests from Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez to professional golfer Cheyenne Woods. This podcast also helps to understand how society views women.
Women participation in sports teaches them leadership skills, bolsters their self-esteem and their self-worth. Additionally, it opens their minds to possibilities they might have never imagined. Hence, sports provides a platform for women to raise their voices and set an example.
“Changing the Game” is a celebration on how far women have come because of sports, but it is
also a call to action to do better, not only for the next generation of women athletes, but for
women everywhere. (www.usatoday.com)
