Hello,
My name is Lyndsey Tollas. In my portion of the blog I will be discussing the views of men and masculinity in the sports world. When we hear the term athlete our minds almost always go to some type of male sports team. What makes us feel that sports are masculine activities. Most of the time when we hear the term sports teams we think of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, and college basketball. There are many other different sports leagues, but these are the ones that are typically in the media. We are all aware that some sports are seen as more masculine than others that are seen to be feminine. There are female athletes that take part in the sports that are said to be masculine, does that make these females masculine?
I look forward to discussing the aspects of the masculinity side of the athletic world. What makes sports masculine? Why are some sports seen as masculine but others are not? Why in society do we associate more with the male sports than the female counterparts? Why does participating in certain sports make people appear masculine? I believe that this will be a chance to see the cause and view of masculinity in the sports world.
