If it is said that an individual plays, throws or hits like a girl, these statements are often considered insults. Female athletes are generally considered less accomplished than their male counterparts. Athletics for women is considered a hobby and not a career path. Even though women's sports have made great strides toward equality, the stigma that women's sports are inferior is still prevalent. While coed sports teams may not be the solution, allowing women to play the same sports as men is a step in the right direction. In many regions, sports such as football are not offered in their full form to girls. Degrading female athletes through inadequate opportunities, unequal media coverage, and lack of value is a concern because it perpetuates a hideous cycle of discrimination. As Eileen McDonagh and Laura Pappano point out in Playing with the Boys: Why Separation Is Not Equal in Sports “All women are assumed to be athletically inferior to all men” (5). This statement implies that when women are denied the right to play sport, they are lumped into one unconditional group. Instead of treating each athlete as an individual, athletes are classified by gender as strong or weak. The social constraints imposed on women make aggressiveness or dirtiness undistinguished. In the film Run Like a Girl, young women talk about what it's like to play a sport in which they are aggressive and how it gives them more confidence in their strength. Women playing male-dominated sports are often encouraged to sexualize themselves to maintain their "femininity" and gain popularity and popularity.
