Lack of Fans


This is a picture of a crowd at a WNBA game. This is one example of how sports are treated differently even out of high school. There's very little promotion for the WNBA.

Equality in Sports

Sports is a normal part of high school. There's football, basketball, volleyball, golf, soccer, track, cross country, swimming, softball, baseball, and i really hope I'm not missing any others. But out of all these sports a few get more attention than the others. Football, for one, is very big at Daviess County. Now i do understand it's a ritual and it is fun for everybody to go to these games. But what about all the other sports? They get very little attention. Although Boys basketball has a good crowd the games, the other sports wont have one barely at all. Soccer has always done good but they get no recognition for it. Along with the rest of them. Football and boys basketball is just held at a higher pedestal than the rest of them. The other teams don't get recognition for all the hard work they put in year long. In my opinion the game times aren't promoted enough throughout the school enough for the not as popular sports. But, I also know it's not just about that. I admit that I have gone to football and basketball games and i have never once been to a volleyball or baseball game. But i will be attending more games this school year. I just think we need to see some equality when it comes to sports teams.
