Females vs Males in Sports

 Another sponsor for the Reggae Boys that's not a surprise. Everyone is aware of the Jamaica cricket team and their accolades but how many Jamaicans are aware of the accomplishments of the netball team, the football team or even or cricket team. For the every improving netball team its always comes as a shock to me to know that they have to come together and put on fund raisers to gain the money they need to compete. I believe that sponsorship from the government should be given to teams based on how they perform not based on how popular they are to the majority of the population. There are so many talented females who are doing just as good or even better than some males. If you haven't noticed women are no longer restricted in any area of life. While watching sports recently I saw a female boxer quite accomplished but as you can see I'm not even aware of her name and I'm sure many others aren't even aware of who I'm talking about.The government continues to push for improvements in our country yet we play the favourite card and propel males forward while females have to work ten times harder to come to the fore front. Even with our female track stars they are recognized but they aren't the ones who are approached first to represent a company or to headline an event. Not to speak negatively of the Reggae boys but I believe too much importance and finance is being placed on them while other sports not just those dominated by females are left to make their own way out yet the government is the first on hand at the airport to shake hands and place a kiss on their cheeks. Why say that Jamaica is making strides when the government is only steering the capital in the direction of the fancied areas of sports.
