Female athletes are speaking up about the unfairness between women and men sports more for the past decade. The latest issue has been how the NCAA treats women’s and men’s basketball teams at March Madness.
Sedona Prince, a forward from Oregon took to social media showing the difference in weight rooms. The women had dumbbells and yoga mats, while the men had full racks and many different types of weights. While the weight room caused the most buzz, Prince also showed the difference in food and the amount of gear given.
Many people argue women’s sports do not make as much as men’s sports, which is not wrong, but when the NCAA came out with a statement to why the women did not have a big weight room, they said it was due to the lack of space. It had nothing to do with a lack of funds.
