women athletes


I was searching on youtube for topics I thought were interesting, and funny enough I found a documentary on the exact thing I wanted to shoot for our class. I have strong opinions on how women athletes are betrayed of course being one I have a lot to debate about. After going to Spain with the soccer team and playing three Women's semi-professional teams it's unfair of the a non existent respect men give women. We in the states are fortunate enough to have a lack of respect, but at least we are given some kind of respect. I believe the main reason men stayed to watch us play in Spain is to whistle and to check out athletic body types. Some of the comments made during the games were so juvenile and obscene. Hopefully there are people in our class that are willing to take this approach to our documentary project.
