Women In Sports: Unequal Underdogs

I made this video to spread the word about the unfair treatment of female athletes. Please spread the word about this video. It's message has been ignored for far too long. It's time to make a difference. This video is the first step to a world of equality in sports.

The song in the video is "Let It Rock" by Kevin Rudolph featuring Lil Wayne. I do not own the rights to this song in any way.

I do not own the rights to any of the pictures featured in the video.

All of the statistics are sourced in the video.

lets face facts:

women are given their own league so they dont have to compete with men, so they can win.  If you want equal pay, compete against the men, and we will see how much you get.

Also, women are over half the population and funding is based on popularity. If you want more funding, then you need to get more women watching womens sports. Men like watching men compete and women like watching men compete as well.

Get over yourselves and stop expecting handouts from men.

Simple solution to all of this. Desolve male and female teams where they share the same sports, track, basketball, soccer, ect. Then have open tryouts that include both men and women. In individual sports such as martial arts, skating, cycling, ect. Don't have seperate bracketts. Make all the competitors face each other. When that happens and I start seeing women becoming champions that is when I will have more respect for female athletes. This way there will be no more arguement about money

The men bring in all the money if female sports made money they would be paid accordingly.

@jessica072601 Sorry that's just not true. Woman can be better then some men at a sport but the best men will always be better then the best women. Its just how it is its there's no shame in that.

@elsenorgatito So basically you are suggesting that women should only play certain sports, as they are not built to play any other sport. So to you me playing as an outside centre in a rugby team isn't right. I can also play better than allot of my friends that are boys.

@jessica072601 Actually men are physically stronger and faster than women and better suited for contact sports. In fact the only position that women can realistically play at the same level as, or better than men at is goalie, whether it be in soccer, lacrosse (even though women's lacrosse is radically different than men's), or hockey. Women will never play at the same level as men for the simple reason that women are not as athletically gifted. Of course there are exceptions to the rule though!

I think its great that women play sports. But its the fact that b/c of tittle 9 so many mens sports are being cut while they up the scholarships and amount of sports offered to women. MY university has to spend the same amount of $ on the women's sports and so they offer ten more sports for women than men- sorry guys if you play any of those sports- you pick the wrong thing to be good at. and the fact is that women sports are not pulling any profit for the school they are giving tickets away!
