“…This is corroborated by Oliveira et al (2019), Tovia (2014) Joncheray and Tlili (2013), Fallon (2010) and Almeida (2008), who affirm that while women are expected not to appear strong and large, people usually think that only large and overweight people practice the sport, characterizing yet another stereotype of athletes in the sport. Almeida (2008: 89) reiterates this point of view when stating that in Brazil:The players bodies when enter at the game arena seem transgressive to the viewers’ eyes, both because of their appearance, full of the items that make up the game's clothing (uniform, protectors, among others), as well as the actions they perform during the matches - push, knock, collide, using techniques that require attributes such as strength and aggression.…”

“…Still, according to the athletes' remarks, we realized that when the athletes do not fit the created stereotype, that is, that players are big, rough and strong, they are questioned as to their playing ability, as in the case of Maria, who is asked about being small and playing rugby. This is corroborated by Oliveira et al (2019), Tovia (2014) Joncheray and Tlili (2013), Fallon (2010) and Almeida (2008), who affirm that while women are expected not to appear strong and large, people usually think that only large and overweight people practice the sport, characterizing yet another stereotype of athletes in the sport.

“…Las voces de las participantes en este estudio se encuentran en consonancia con los resultados obtenidos en diversas investigaciones previas en el contexto español que identificaron que las mujeres se encuentran infrarrepresentadas y silenciadas en los medios de comunicación (Flores & Amaru, 2022;Martínez-Abajo et al, 2020;Rangel & Ramírez, 2018;López, 2016;Gómez, 2015;Sainz de Baranda, 2014;López, 2011). Del mismo modo, perciben que deben demostrar elevadas cotas de rendimiento para merecer atención mediática (Oliveira, Altmann & Marques, 2019). Asimismo, en sintonía con resultados de estudios como el de Martínez-Abajo et al (2020), las participantes denuncian que las lesiones de los hombres tuvieron prioridad frente a las noticias de logros deportivos de las mujeres deportistas.…”
