📣🚨 Action Alert | Dear iSPORTCONNECT: Women Are Good at Sports Too, and Other Gender Equality Lessons

Sports have been on our mind recently given the NCAA tournament debacle, where the inequality between the women’s tournament and the men’s has been called out over and over on social media. Talk about March madness!

Add to that this tweet from GenderAvenger Cindy Gallop, and it becomes even more clear that the sports world is not ready, or apparently interested, in treating women equally.

iSPORTCONNECT, the world’s largest private sports business network, has put together a Media and Broadcast eMasterclass chock full of bros — the speaker lineup is 85% men and only 15% women, none of whom are women of color. We’re not even sure what else to say about this other than iSPORTCONNECT really struck out with this one. Who you choose to position as experts says so much, and women, athletes, and their fans are hearing your message loud and clear.

Help iSPORTCONNECT figure it out:

It’s #MarchMadness indeed when neither the @NCAA nor @iSportconnect can find a way to achieve gender equality. It’s 2021, sports are not just for boys, never have been, never will be. Athletes and fans are watching. #ncaaW #NCAA #GenderAvenger https://www.genderavenger.com/blog/action-alert-dear-isportconnect
