Same passion: Why gender equality in sports matters – Rappler

Women should not be the only proponents of gender equality in sports. It is a cause that should be espoused by anyone who believes in fair play, respect, and accountability. All these are concepts relevant in sports and are universal values that hold true in life. Female athletes put in as much effort, time, and dedication to perfect their craft in their chosen field of athletic event. They play with the same passion, the same tenacity, and the same desire to excel. They too have earned the right to play, to be heard, to be watched and applauded, and to be celebrated. – Rappler.com
