As I read the articles, they were extremely inspiring to me and made me think about the impact women can truely have on sport. My hope is that younger women athletes will recognize the power they have inorder to deminish the gender ideologies in sport that are so prelavent yet today. Also, a quick proposed question: If Justine Siegal would've been homosexual, would they have mentioned that in the text or just leave it out as if it didn't matter? Instead, they made sure they mentioned all information about her family. Just a thought. Thanks for posting this!

The media attention is indeed telling--further evidence that when female athletes show themselves equal, if not superior, in the athletic arena, they win the media spotlight as well.
