Looking at espn online it seems that the pictures you will see depends on the sport that is being played that day. But also sports that seem to be the headliner are the sports that are in season. Most of the headlines seem to include college basketball and the NBA. Now most of the pictures seem to show young African American males who are figures that dominate basketball. I think the headliners you will see depends on the sport that is going on during that particular time. Now I did not see any headliners about female sports. Which I can understand because female sports is not that big in today's sports. It doesn't receive the same amount of attention as male sports do. I think this shows that males sports continue to dominate female sports. The media finds it more entertaining and more profitable to cover male sports than female sports.

ReplyDeleteI also looked at ESPN online and agree with your assessment about the role of female and male sports on their website. Because the public finds male sports more entertaining, it is more profitable for the media to cover male sports unless it's in a large event like the Olympics or Wimbledon for tennis.- Brady Daigh
