What specific cases of gender inequality exist in the sports world? From Billie King's Tennis Open to the WNBA, female athletes have wanted to earn equality with their male counterparts. At a very young age, women start playing sports but lack the respect necessary due to stereotypes shown to them and the way that people around the world view women. The wage gap and sexualization in sports are only a few of the inequalities that women are raising awareness about gender inequality. Faced with the presence of gender inequality is an international problem in countries such as Kenya and Poland. With a mix of very new cases of gender inequality in the NBA and old cases about the start of women's sports, gender inequality is a problem seen in media and, consequently, also using media as a factor to influence this perception of women.

It was necessary to broaden the scope of the research issue for the study to be successful, which provided the
optimal context for identifying the best answer. If the original study topic had not been changed, the essay might not
have been as well written because it would have been challenging to respond.
