Women in Sports PR: Are Women Striking Out?

Throughout the past few decades it has become a well-known fact that women get paid less than their male counterparts and have limited job opportunities in industries that primarily employ men.

The field of sports public relations has been a male-dominated industry for years, and until recently, women were laughed at when they showed interest in covering sports.

From gaining access to gaining respect, women have had to overcome many obstacles while attempting to represent athletes and sports teams throughout North America.

Women’s subordination in regards to the sports industry is a large problem in the public relations realm and nowhere is this more evident than in the field of baseball.
