Hello this time I will talk about the belief that participation in sports competition tends to masculinizing women. That female athletes are seen as "male" may be more to the trend of large and strong women stay and perhaps better results. Some sports are seen as male, preferably attracting more men than women would be the case of football, baseball or basketball. While other traditionally "feminine" sports attract more women (ballet or volleyball). In contrast, there are few sports whose practice seems to be acceptable to both genders as swimming or tennis. It seems that the sports that require physical contact have been reserved for male practice while those that enhance the harmony have been dimensioned to field women. Even women classified as unfeminine sports soccer compared to other like volleyball.
People learn through socialization what sports are considered masculine, feminine or neutral and therefore gender stereotypes would be acquired during the first years. They found that during primary schooling, children and believed that a competition task involves energy, speed and strength, characteristics attributed men. These gender stereotypes are likely to influence the choice and participation of women in either sport. For example, in the case of women's soccer are common statements like women's soccer is football but it is not "feminine" that deny a positive image of soccer players even to limit their access to sports resources to be a sport "men" Federations resources have been traditionally directed at them scarce organizational materials for the practice of this sport- female human resources, and infrastructure.
-The FIFA President Joseph Platter (2008) argued about soccer:
"The future is female. There will come a time when many women as men playing soccer, offering shows the same or even higher quality and beauty will be. "
