Conclusion

The semester is winding down and its time to reflect on the time I've had blogging. Sports gender has really made me think about issues that I really have never thought about before. I have learned a lot over the semester and enjoyed blogging. Blogging is a fun and easy way to express your opinions on issues in the world of sports. I hope in the future I have a job or take courses that require me to blog because I love hearing other peoples opinions on topics and giving people feedback. My favorite article to write about this semester was the WWE article. I just thought it was hilarious that professional wrestling was referred to as masculine. I believe wrestling is a joke and its funny how older men are chasing each other around in their underwear. My favorite topic to learn about was homosexuality in sports. I just thought it was ridiculous how badly homosexuals are looked upon especially in the world of sports. It is unfair that women don't get scrutinized as badly as men, but homosexual men are heavily criticized. I also thought it was bad how most NFL, NBA, and MLB teams didn't respond to the surveys they were sent. I believe everyone should be accepted for who they are but the fact is no professional athlete will come out of the closet because of all the negative attention they will get. I just thought overall blogs really let classmates communicate with each other and is a great alternate to homework. I hope I get the chance to do blogs in the future.

  1. I hope you get a chance to continue blogging in the future as well, and I agree that blogs offered a great way for people to share their ideas. It was interesting that you said it was unfair that women were not scrutinized as much as men when it comes to homosexuality, but as someone pointed out--maybe that is one advantage to women's sports being so underpublicized!
