The document discusses arguments for gender neutrality in sports. It argues that skills, not physicality, often determine success in sports. It cites examples like tennis players Serena Williams and Roger Federer who have excelled due to skill rather than physical attributes alone. The document also notes that women are beginning to compete successfully in traditionally male sports. Having both women and men compete together in sports can help promote gender equality and show that both are capable of great achievements. Integrating sports can provide opportunities for both girls and boys to see inspiration from athletes of all genders.

Debate

Introducción

Good morning classmates the motion of the debate today is should sports be gender neutral?

My team is debating in favor

To begin with gender neutral means that both female and male should participate equally

The main idea

Sports are not all about physicality. Some sports highlight physical aspects while others highlight skills.
Take tennis for example: Players who are stronger and more physically adept hold an advantage in some
areas of the game, but players who are more talented skill-wise are better overall. Roger Federer, for
example, isn’t the most physical tennis player, but he is probably the most skilled player out there. Also,
nobody who has ever watched Serena Williams play tennis can deny that sheer skill is what has won her
23 Grand Slam titles (although her muscles definitely help). Her skills are what has earned her the no. 1
ranking of the Universal Tennis Ranking.

While men and women may differ in physicality, they do not differ in their skills capacity. This is why
former tennis star John McEnroe faced backlash in 2017 when he dismissed Williams as the sport’s
greatest tennis player and, instead, clarified that she may be the sport’s best female player. In
professional sports – where the importance of skills outweighs the importance of physicality – everyone
should compete equally this a great example that not only men succeed in sports Jime

Perhaps Just as gender equity can be promoted through participation in sports activities and institutions,
sport can also promote gender equity goals.

Thus practice of sport gives women access to public spaces where they can meet, develop skills, obtain
support from others and enjoy freedom of expression and movement. These activities are the occasion
to promote education, communication, skills and commitments, all of which are essential for the
empowerment of women. Duron

Some statistics say that The popularity of sports across the globe has not eliminated misogyny in sports
coverage. Women's sports still suffer from lack of exposure. Sports media is

male dominant: 90.1% of editors and 87.4% of reporters are male. In televised media, approximately
95% of anchors and co-anchors are male. This causes inequality and lack of opportunities for women.

not to mention the fact that there are currently women who are acquiring a very high level in sports
considered until now as "masculine", as is the case of Elena Rosell who is going to compete next season
in the MotoGP World Championship. the hand of the Aspar Team; María de Villota who is about to
become the test driver for Lotus Renault; and Bea Ibáñez, finalist in the European BMX Championship
and champion of a test in Alicante of the Spanish championship. In turn, there are also men who are
gradually appearing and gaining importance in sports that are considered feminine, such as figure
skating, as is the case with Javier Fernández, and synchronized swimming, such as Ibón García.

and this shows us that both women and men are capable of achieving great things in sports, therefore
sports should be neutral when we talk about gender because, as I mentioned, both men and women are
capable of reaching very high positions in sports competitions these can be seen as an inspiration for
both boys and girls who aspire to be great athletes Asa

Sport is one of the means where gender equality is not put into practice, since gender equality must be
practiced in any area of life

since here the inequality that exists between men and women is shown and it is important

put into practice mixed sports since these have the purpose of establishing gender equality spaces
where women face men, there is no strong sex and much less weak sex, only a competition of pure
talent and create laws that put and comply with these stuff. Mateo

as a final word let me summarize our point of view

Interaction between genders in a group sport encourages friendship and mutual respect. Each player is
valued and recognized not only for their own unique athletic skill set but for how their talent completes
a team, making it stronger and more united. Tejaada
