I found great difficulty in finding the overall motive for this article. I think that the author made some good points as far as how women have been perceived in sports throughout the years. However, I feel that the information provided about what sportswomanship is compared to sportsmanship was irrelevant. The most recent resource that was sited in the article was from 2001, that is over a decade ago. When they are talking about what sportsmanship means versus sportswomanship I couldn’t help but think that things are looked at differently now. I was also made upset when the author talked about how women in sports were influenced into thinking less about sportsmanship than winning by male coaches. I know of plenty collegiate female coaches who value winning just as much as any male coach of any sport that I have ever met. It doesn’t matter whether you are coached my a man or a woman, winning is always going to be important because if they don’t win, their job is in jeopardy.
