It takes a lot of dedication to do a research paper for your capstone. For me, I have been developing this research for quite some time with writing a variety of different research papers that discuss the gender inequality between men and women in the sports industry. As something to set my paper a part from most, I decided to conduct a survey study, in which it is still in the review process with the IRB board, and with the results of the survey I plan to plug them in my paper to help elaborate and display just how much inequality is relevant in this industry. It is rather interesting to read, but it is even more interesting to experience the level of behavior that a male puts forth when a female walks into a sports facility.
Most recently, I interviewed for an internship in a sports facility where it was just males in the office. The moment I walked in, eyes were on me and you could feel the judgement spewing through their minds and even looks towards me. It was certainly something I have never experienced before, only researched about and interviewed other sport reporters about it. It raises questions in my mind to ask myself, is working in the sport industry worth it? Furthermore, what did the women who do this as a career do to get where they are today? To me, it is certainly an admirable job position for any female to take on, but I do not see myself, personally, working in sports. With that being said, I am anxiously waiting to see if my survey does get approved and if it does, I am curious as to know what the results of my survey will be.
