Women’s Sports

Sports journalism could go a long way toward expanding the fan base for women’s sports merely by giving those athletes and sports the coverage they deserve (“Women’s Sports Still Looking for an Audience,” Dec. 3). However, sports journalism is overwhelmingly dominated by men. To adequately cover women’s sports in daily papers and local television networks would be to invite many more women to become sports reporters, editors, announcers, producers and pundits. Precisely because women can do those jobs every bit as well as their male counterparts, the guys at the sports desk are unlikely to extend those invitations any time soon.
