Reasons for unequal engagement in women's and men's sports in the U.S. June 2021
A June 2021 study investigated the most common reasons for the lack of engagement with women's sports when compared to men's sports in the United States. Overall, 40 percent of survey respondents indicated less media coverage as the reason behind their unequal engagement with women's sports. Only 13 percent of survey participants reported slower games as the reason why they engaged more with men's sports than women's sports.
