Why is it still so hard to find coverage of women’s sports?
Sedona Prince started it this year with an uncomfortable truth. The Oregon basketball player, famous for a TikTok video earlier this year that pointed out the discrepancy between the workout palace provided at the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the meager triangle of dumbbells for the women, has made it safe to point out the obvious. This time, WNBA Liberty player by way of Oregon, Sabrina Ionescu, took a stroll through major sports media outlets looking for NCAA women’s basketball coverage and presents her findings: the equivalent of a workout palace for the men’s coverage and for the women? You already know the answer.

This time, WNBA Liberty player by way of Oregon, Sabrina Ionescu, took a stroll through major sports media outlets looking for NCAA women’s basketball coverage and presents her findings: the equivalent of a workout palace for the men’s coverage and for the women? You already know the answer.
“I wish I could open my social media and see highlights about Women’s sports,” Ionescu tweeted. “ESPN, Sportscenter, Bleacher Report etc. post about NBA, NFL and Men’s NCAA right now. There are so many Top 25 teams battling in the Women’s NCAA right now, with NO coverage. Do better.”
