32,970 I just spent my Friday night at Stamford Bridge Stadium watching Chelsea play Arsenal. 32,970 fans came out to a women’s football/soccer match. The place was ROCKING. My mind was blown. When it feels like things are either being dialed backwards or stagnant for women it’s amazing to see the strides being made with sports. The crowd was such a great mix- ages, genders. Big groups of 20somethings out together. Lots of little girls AND little boys. If you are a brand looking for something to sponsor…women’s sports is a good bet. 🚀🚀🚀🚀 And if you want to increase the pool of female CEOs..girls sports is the top of the funnel. #womenleaders #personaldevelopment #humanresources #no4thfloor

What do you think of this campaign to spotlight women's sports? With the Women's World Cup starting this past week, Johnnie Walker has teamed up with actress Hannah Waddingham to create awareness for the event as well as urge consumers to tune into women's sports year round. The brand and actress will introduce ‘Match Day Memos’ to rally the nation to ‘Watch Women’s Sports’ and help increase the 10% of total sports coverage women. Johnnie Walker will also contribute to the Women's Sports Foundation for every person who signs up for the Match Day Memos. This is an interesting campaign that combines sports and spirits to emphasize the World Cup and women athletes as a whole. In the past, we've seen brands team up with celebrities to take a stance on various issues with varying degrees of success. Do you think this initiative is a smart play? Do you think consumers will buy in? Check out the campaign: https://lnkd.in/dJ2sk8_6 #wineandspirits #spirits #beverageindustry #beveragemarketing #beveragesales #johnniewalker #worldcup

Perhaps that on our LinkedIn site, people choose not to engage in such a political exchange because of the professional fallout from prospective employers, their current employment, peers who have differing views, to others. who may not like this site to be used as a forum for such topics. Like our upcoming elections, there are contrasting, yet two major tributaries if thought. Yes, I am saddened and disappointed at the lack of response to the Title IX issue. In America, many of the earlier champions of Title IX to level the playing field with male and female athletes are eerily mute. It is a scientifically and physical fact that the female anatomy differs from her male counterpart. This creates a different playing field for young female teens with those who now has to compete with biological males who profess to be females to feel good about themselves, for accolades and scholarships. Reality Check- You have to side with the biological FACT over one's feelings. Does that make me a hater? Absolutely not. Maybe I'm pro-female, pro-science, and for truth, even if it may offend or cause one to become triggered. Welcome to the real world - I care about our young girls and women to share the truth. In life, regardless of what some educators have lied to you. there are some absolutes.

Because we women don’t like being used as a shield for peoples’ transphobia I’m not gonna pretend to speak for all women – some women may really not like trans women being in women’s sports, but many also are supportive of them. Many are indifferent. Not to mention, something that a lot of people seem to just completely ignore is that women themselves vary. For example, I am stronger than most women and less flexible as well. Which is more similar to the physical attributes of a man. Am I not allowed to compete either? Oh wait no I still can because I don’t have a p***? So genitalia is what decides? When did sports become about showing the most “typical” example of someone with a v***** or a p****? I am so sick of this crap. We have so many better issues to worry about. You really don’t like trans people in sports? Whether people like it or not, you are allowed to go create your own little league over there and decide who gets in and who doesn’t. Meanwhile, us adults will focus on real issues like lack of affordable housing or healthcare.

🌟 Celebrating the Power of Representation in Sports! 🌟 A recent survey revealed that US adults are seven times more likely to name Simone Biles as the face of the Olympic team than LeBron James. This shift is not just a victory for Simone but a significant milestone for female athletes everywhere.

It's inspiring to see a female athlete leading the way and being celebrated for her extraordinary achievements. At Whai Basketball, we believe in the power of role models to uplift and inspire the next generation.

Discussion about trans-women competing in women's sports, some observations: 1. Interesting that there's no discussion about trans-men competing in cis-men's sports. 2. Allow cis-women to up their use of steroids to match levels of trans-women testosterone levels. Reaction by trans-women to these two observations will reveal if this whole discussion is about ego stroking or about a level playing field.

🚺 Having more female decision-makers in elite sport can serve as positive role models for young athletes. 🏆 They demonstrate it is possible for women to succeed in high-performance sports environments. 👥This can help to create a more diverse & representative sports culture
