"Sexism on Centre Court"

I chose the article "Sexism on Centre Court" due to the fact that it correlates well with what we are discussing in class this week. The article relates the fact that sexism is still promenant in today's society. The William's sisters played against each other and a comment was made concerning the attractiveness of women tennis players. "Physical Attractiveness is taken into consideration", commented the officials and this is all in all sexism. The media coverage and playing area for each match is governed by the beauty not the bronze of the athletes. It goes on to say that males only watch for the beauty and if not, then they would not watch. I agree that males do not watch tennis unless they are themselves in tennis, enjoy the sport or are viewing an attractive competition. The reality of our society is that sexism does occur more than we would like to believe and it is as simple as the coverage a female athlete will receive. I think that this is terrible and rude but none the less, what is the society doing to try and fix this? The options are not conclusive nor present. I think that this article was very interesting in the fact that still today after all women have been through, discrimination of many forms still is alive.
