This petition is for my senior exit which I did on the publicity of women's sports. Though it isn't surprising to discover that men's sports get more coverage, it was eye opening when researchers found that women's sports accounted for less than 2 percent of network news and ESPN Sportscenter. Pleases sign to get women's sports the same amount of coverage as men's.

Reaching this point is exhausting but seeing the momentum grow gives me a reason to keep pushing despite the long road ahead. It is becoming clear that I am not the only person who is tired of seeing this silence in our media coverage.

its so frustrating when you want to watch a big game and its nowhere to be found unless you click some weird link online. give them the same spotlight!!
They definitely need to show women's sports on the regular TV channels and not just on webcasts!!!
Interesting fact!
YOU GO GIRL

2 percent is honestly pathetic. these athletes work just as hard as the men and deserve way more respect.
