    I read this article "Sex Sells Sex, Not Women’s Sports".This article talks about how the media sometimes focuses on the looks of women athletes instead of their skills. It uses examples like a soccer player's ranking based on looks and a skier's sexualized magazine cover. The article explains that this doesn't help women's sports and, based on surveys, shows that fans prefer images highlighting athletes' skills. It suggests that promoting women's sports through their abilities, like in college basketball and the Women's world cup, is a better way to gain respect for female athletes.
