“…Focusing on analysis of tweets featuring women, female athletes appear, above all, in football (20.88%), followed by tennis (17.67%), basketball (5.62%), swimming (5.22%) and athletics (2.81%). These results corroborate the tendency found in these previous studies which highlight that tennis, basketball [ 27 , 44 ] and athletics are the sports with the largest coverage within women’s sports [ 28 , 48 , 49 ]. Although there is no justification for gender of a male or female athlete to “affect the quality or quantity of coverage they receive” [ 50 ], the data reveals just the opposite.…”

Gender stereotypes influence boys’ and girls’ self-perception, with the differential treatment received by sports figures in the media being one of the main factors in the perpetuation of stereotypes about sports. The objective of this research is to analyze if the new communication channels, such as Twitter, maintain gender stereotypes when reporting sports news. For this purpose, the four most followed media in Spain were analyzed: (@ElPais_Deportes, @ABC_Deportes, @Marca and @MundoDeportivo) over a period of five months, from March to June 2016. Our sample was composed of 6544 tweets, with 96.19% about sportsmen compared to 3.81% that portrayed women. The sport with the most media coverage was football (72.11%), for men as well as for women, followed by basketball (6.63%). It is clear that despite the growing international triumphs of Spanish women athletes in recent years, the latter continue to be underrepresented in the media. Female athletes receive more media coverage according to the sport which they engage in (“gender-appropriate” sports), with the exception of football, and not in accordance with their accomplishments. Twitter remains at the service of traditional media replicating the same gender biases and even augmenting them.

“…No significant differences were found in the live attendance of sports events practiced by females, nor in the viewing of female sports competitions as a function of the type of sport practiced. These results partially reject the hypothesis posed about the influence of the media on sports practice and could suggest that the issue is not the rejection of adolescent males to watch sports practiced by females, but possibly that they do not find the sports they like as easily in the media [56,57]. In fact, previous studies have already pointed out the absence of female sports role models in the media [58].…”

The practice of sport by adolescents is influenced by multiple factors, which could create differences in sports participation according to gender. The objectives of this study were to determine which types of sports were most practiced by adolescent males and females; and to analyze the relationship of gender stereotypes, the type of sport observed and the personal environment, to the type of sport practiced, depending on the adolescent’s gender. To this end, a total of 632 adolescents completed the questionnaire “Lifestyle in Sport with a Gender Perspective”. The results showed significant differences according to gender in the type of sport practiced (p < 0.05), in the membership to sports clubs (p < 0.001), and in the participation in competitions (p < 0.001). It was found that family (p < 0.005) and friends (p < 0.05) were the social agents that most influenced the choice of the type of sport practiced, and that the type of sport watched live (p < 0.005), and in the media (p < 0.001), was related to gender and the type of sport practiced. In contrast, the gender stereotypes of the adolescents themselves were not related to the practice of sports. In conclusion, the environment closest to the adolescents was related to the type of sport practiced by those adolescents.

“…In the selected episodes analyzed, it has been verified that the masculine representation continues to dominate the roles within sports journalism [33]. Stereotypes are constantly reinforcing that women are a kind of "outsiders" within this field [26,41]. Similarities were found in the physical pattern of women journalists: hegemonic faces, slim and slightly athletic bodies that are exposed by the use of tight clothing, representing what is socially accepted as beautiful [10,26,28] (see Table 2).…”

Sports journalistic programs of infotainment have become highly relevant in recent years. However, the visibility of women journalists in this type of programs is minimal compared to their male colleagues and is often a decorative presence. This article highlight the sexist practices in the intrinsic narrative of Peruvian sports journalistic programs establishing differences between the programs that are broadcast by cable and the programs that are broadcast simultaneously in multiplatform mode over cable, radio, Youtube and Facebook. Through a methodological study with a qualitative approach, a content analysis guide was applied to eight episodes of Exitosa Deportes, Fox Sports Radio Peru, De fútbol se habla así and Equipo F. As a result, the heteronormative profile of the women journalists involved and their invisibilized role based on their actions and participation within the different sections of the program were identified in both kind of programs. Nevertheless, the main result of this research was that sports journalistic programs on Internet produce an environment conducive to mansplaining more regularly than on cable television where there are more rules that do not allow or in any case make up the way in which gender stereotypes are perpetuate on professional profile of women journalists. Also, multiplatform programs promote an inequal environment where mansplaining is constantly generated delegitimizing women knowledge of sports issues. We conclude that this type of infotainment content continues to minimizing women presence in media and social media spaces. Therefore, this study contributes to the existing literature in communication and media studies with a gender perspective and gender stereotypes in digital sports journalism.
