The sociological impact of the differences between men and women in sports is vast and much deeper than what can be seen on the surface. The fans that follow each sport accordingly most likely have a favorite team that is either composed of men or women, and the teams that have the most following get the most endorsements and media coverage. If the team that gets the most coverage is a mens team then what does that do for exposing the difference? It simply hides the gender gap in sports by projecting the image of a male dominated sports environment.
The aggression that is present in sports is what defines the sports, for example, most viewers associate muscular guys throwing punches at each other with wrestling and fighting sports. A football team naturally would be associated with many men running and hitting each other as they fight over who possess the ball. This type of aggression is what characterizes many sports and further embodies the gender gap in sports.
