popular culture #5

When you think of sports you think of strength. Strength to tackle a man in football. Strength to wrestle someone in a wrestling match. When thinking of strength you think of masculine. When you think of masculine you think of men. It's almost inevitable to think of a men and sports and not think of them being strong and masculine. As a society we promote sports so strongly to young men because men are the "it" gender when it comes to sports. NFL, MLB, NBA, NH, etc. Each of those are some of the most popular sports in which players get paid bank, all of which are for males. That being one of the reasons we promote sports strongly to young men.
