Michael Messner: Dropping the Ball on Covering Women’s Sports

<blockquote>When it comes to coverage of sports on television news and highlights shows, if it’s male, it not only leads — it totally dominates. Men’s sports received 96.3% of the airtime on the three local stations. “SportsCenter” was no less male-dominant: Just 1.4% of its airtime was devoted to women sports.</blockquote>

What’s sad is that I’m not even surprised/shocked/stunned. And the trolls will still complain that too much time is spent covering the women. sigh
