It is widely recognized that television channels devote more airtime to men’s sporting events than to their women’s counterparts. This essay attempts to shed light on the main reason behind this phenomenon before showing a possible solution.

Admittedly, there are a sizable number of motives behind this inclination, chief of which is that television networks prioritize sports that generate higher revenue. This is mainly because popular men’s competitions attract more sponsorship deals and advertising income, making them more profitable to broadcast. Evidence can be seen in the case of advertisers who are generally willing to pay more for commercial slots during high-profile men’s sporting events due to their larger audiences. As a result, broadcasters devote more airtime to men’s sports to increase their commercial returns.

I firmly believe that broadcasting both men’s and women’s sports on TV channels equally sends a valuable message that athletic achievement should be valued regardless of gender. By doing so, young girls who regularly see successful female athletes on television are more likely to believe that they can pursue professional sports. For example, Pham Nhu Phuong, who is a well-known Vietnamese professional gymnast, often inspires children to participate in sports themselves. Therefore, more girls become involved in sports, helping narrow down the gender gap in athletic participation.

In conclusion, the pursuit of prioritising men’s sports that generate higher profits is the primary culprit leading to the limited airtime devoted to women’s sports; however, it can be alleviated by greater public recognition that athletic accomplishment should be fairly appreciated in both genders.
