Wow, that's incredible to see, but also very predictable. This has been a result of the culture throughout our world's history where women have been perceived to be "servers" to men and that they would stay in the kitchen and take care of the house while the men went to work. Fortunately, that culture has begun to shift but this example shows that there is still work to be done to transition people's minds into understanding that there are other roles for women. Also, it emphasizes that women are capable of being able to be leaders in sports if they're just given a fair opportunity. Now that doesn't mean to hire someone =just because they're a women or a person of color, which is one potential drawback that could occur. However, it's all about giving those who have generally been marginalized throughout history a fair opportunity so succeed.

This is the unfortunate truth that happens far too much still today in the world of sports. Players are still treated as if they're objects and personally attacked with racial slurs. The culture throughout sports has been toxic at certain levels, leading to players of color being discouraged from playing sports. Whether it be from fellow players, opposition, or even fans, whether home or opposing, there is never a dull moment with players of color. If they do something good, they may be racially attacked by opposing fans and players. if they do something bad or made a mistake, they may be racially taunted and made fun of. It takes great courage for many players of color to fight these struggles and continue to play and excel in the games they love.

Why don't they want to train? Instead of the coach looking into this, he resorts to immediate punishing of the players. One might look at this and say that that was warranted, as the players did not show up for their training. However, as a coach, the issues of not showing up should be communicated directly to the players. Instead of trying to understand why they weren't showing up, the coach left it to personal attacks, implying that the players were lazy and lacked discipline and desire to play because they don't regularly attend training. The coach should strive to have a better relationship with his players to understand any issues that they may be going through, rather than straight out punishing them.

Again, here's another stereotype that women aren't able to be demanding and "take charge." While yes, it is true that there are women that may be less successful at this than others, it's impossible to put all women in a basket and not give them an opportunity to be a leader in sports because of inherent qualities that prevent them from doing so. Women are indeed highly qualified to work in higher-level positions, despite what some men might think and that shouldn't prevent them from having a chance to work in sports.

Interesting. Here is a great example of the flaws seen in sport organization today, which are perfect reasons why diversity efforts have been stalled or resistant. It's an inherent belief among many, especially men, who don't wish to lose their power grip on sports. Therefore, they resort to degrading women in saying that because they aren't as knowledgeable as men with respect to football, then they aren't allowed to be senior coaches. This inherent sexism is proof that there's a long way to go within sports for true diversity to permeate and give women and others a chance to see employment growth in the sport industry, especially. That is because it's an industry heavily dominated by males and a main reason is due to the perception that women don't know sports, hence they shouldn't be allowed to work in high-level positions regarding sports. These are all based on long-time stereotypes regarding women, in addition to inherent sexism due to decades of a male-dominated sport industry.

This is the problem that has become increasingly more apparent with many sport organizations throughout the country and the world. Coaches and those in team leadership may talk about how "everyone's welcome" on their team, though there are many examples where people don't feel on welcome on team's despite the team's insistence on being inclusive. The reason we know this is by looking at the rosters of teams and seeing many being made up by a majority of white people and there isn't evidence of how the team's efforts at being more inclusive would affect the diversity of the team.

Again, this speaks to the power of actions speaking louder than words. While teams may say they are for diversity and use their inclusiveness as evidence, it doesn't necessarily mean that that's the case. For instance, the club's training facilities may not be up-to-date meaning that they may not be accessible to those with disabilities. Therefore, despite a team's pleading that they encourage and accept people with disabilities on their teams, it's clear that it's a false statement when realizing the issues with the training facilities, along with the hyper-masculine culture that permeates throughout many sport organizations. This, too, is more evidence of how sport clubs need to adapt to be more inclusive of others.

This seems to be a good example for how teams can justify their implementation of diversity. It seems to be a little gesture that is being over-exaggerated to show how one team incorporates diversity into its organization. It also demonstrates an attempt to bring positive attention to said organization in an attempt to better its prestige and make them look better in the public eye. Little do they know, however, that they were using "diversity" to basically make themselves look better rather than doing it for the greater good because they care about marginalized or forgotten groups.

This is a strong statement which speaks to the difficulties of effectively applying diversity. While many people may acknowledge that diversity has a pace in organizations, they may push it aside if it affects their hold on power. Therefore, they may talk the talk in essence, but when it comes to actually applying diversity to their organization, they may look at ways in which they can deflect to put a halt on actually instituting such diversity.

Essentially, this seems to be saying despite the increased desire to want to increase diversity, that these efforts are rarely achieved due to the "status quo." Basically, coaches and managers refuse to engage in any of the efforts brought to them about increasing the diversity of their organization. Therefore, this can create a backwards society in that certain teams are not upholding to the principles that they should be regarding diversity. Therefore, this teams struggle to be as inclusive as they should be and don't know how to handle situations where they have to increase the diversity of their club.

This is an important, yet disappointing point that is made. On the other hand it is a logical one as well because those who are in marginalized groups are in much more dire situations whether it be financial, mental, or physical. For a variety of reasons, they may not have the means to participate in sports.

This is very important and must not be understated. To be able to ensure diversity in the participation of sports, the government has a duty to get involved. This means they must set up programs and academies for those who are not privileged and would not otherwise have the opportunity to succeed. This allows potential talent to be able to be showcased, even if they don't the financial means to be able to play.

Why is this the case? Do governments view a healthy society by looking at its sport participation? It's possible, however, one may look as the government wishing to have a higher prestige for their country which means having more athletes represent their countries well on not only a national stage, but also a global stage, say during the Olympics.
