With March Madness (2024) coming to an end, let's take a moment to reflect on the representation, participation, and growth of female athletes in sports. According to recent statistics, the average final four tickets for women in 2024 were priced at $2,300. This begs the question: what can we do to improve media representation, participation, and growth for female athletes in sports? Let's continue to support and empower women in sports, both on and off the court. #MarchMadness #FemaleAthletes #SportsRepresentation #EmpowerWomen

This is such an important issue! Men in drag #transgender playing in women’s sport is nothing short of legalized assault & battery against girls & women by Democrats & imperial fiat out of the Biden Obama WH. We fought so hard & long to get our own sports & related scholarships. We are still fighting for protection against domestic violence. Now we find women getting raped in prison by #fakewomen; girls getting raped in restrooms & locker rooms by self proclaimed transgender ‘girls’ with penis intact. I’ll sell you a donkey 🫏 stating it’s a BMW SUV. I’ll charge you $50000 & tell you what a great deal it is! Would you accept & pay that?! Men have about +36% of testosterone in biochemistry, women it’s under 2% if memory serves me. There IS a big difference in strength. Keep transgender men pretending to be females out of females sports and bathrooms. Period. Let boys and men be males without making them toxic. I love real men 🦾who respect both (there are only two) sexes and all life. End perversion in the Courts & Schools. That’s my opinion.
The crucial point here is that it is simply unfair to ask biological women to compete against transgender women in sports where strength and body composition matter. The issue is not whether transgender people deserve the same respect given to all individuals. Of course, they deserve that respect. The issue is not whether transgender athletes can compete in sports. Of course, they can. The issue is WHO they should compete against.

One of the interesting things about this year's #AllIndex is that because of the rise of sports betting globally 🌎 , we are seeing a dip in the number of women working in our industry. We are also seeing regulation, particularly in Europe, move towards requiring more equal female representation on exec and non-exec boards. In 2026, the EU will require 40% representation on boards. Companies need to be aware of this NOW and start to put the succession planning in place in order to meet the requirements. Are you training the senior leaders of tomorrow? Read the full report below

Celebrating ✨ 🎈 🏒 National Girls and Women in Sports Day..!! 🎯 💫🎉 🌟 Revealing the Unseen Battle: Honoring Women's Resilience in Sports! 🏆💔 In the heart of every aspiring female athlete lies a story of unseen struggles and unspoken battles. It's a narrative of dreams crushed by societal norms, of passion stifled by the harsh realities of prejudice. For every Mary Kom who fights poverty and prejudice with every jab, there are countless others whose talents languish in obscurity, unnoticed and unsupported. PV Sindhu's racket may silence the critics on the court, but off it, the echoes of skepticism and doubt linger, a constant reminder of the uphill battle faced by women in sports. Dutee Chand's defiance against discriminatory regulations sheds light on the darker corners of our society, where outdated norms suffocate the spirit of courage and individuality. And as Sakshi Malik and Deepa Malik break physical and societal barriers alike, their victories are tainted by the shadows of indifference and inequality that linger in the corners of our collective conscience. On this National Girls and Women in Sports Day, let's not just celebrate the triumphs; let's acknowledge the silent struggles, the unspoken sacrifices, and the relentless resilience of every woman who dares to dream of sports glory. Together, let's challenge the status quo, amplify their voices, and pave the way for a future where every woman is supported, celebrated, and empowered to shine in the arena of sports. Because when we confront the harsh reality of societal indifference, we take the first step toward true equality and justice. #NGWSD #WomenInSports #ChampionHer #empowerment #inclusion You
