Paige Spiranac reveals perils of being a woman in sports – and why they will ‘always be pushed back’ by men

Paige Spiranac laid out the struggles for women in sports after a viral tweet slandering female sports broadcasters.

On Monday, the golf influencer took to X and went off on a tweet from user TJ Moe during a college football broadcast on ESPN.

‘Who actually wants to watch three women stand around and talk about football? I do not,’ he wrote over a photo of the pre-game coverage before writing a follow-up.

‘Let me clarify: No one wants to listen to 3 women talk football. Men are better at it– it’s like asking cats to bark,’ he explained. ‘I issue no apology and no retracts.

‘Most people agree with me, they’re just afraid to say it. Carry on with your outrage.’

Spiranac then explained how plenty of successful broadcasters and coaches did not play the sports they cover and coach past the high school level.

Paige Spiranac revealed the vicious cycles that make women struggle in the sports industry

From there, she went into the unfortunate cycle that keeps women on the backburner in the industry.

‘So let’s break it down, you’re a woman who wants to work in the sports industry and you have a deep understanding of sports and you have a right to be there,’ Spiranac said.

‘However, you’ll never get the highest opportunities because men only wanna listen to other men talk about sports. ‘

‘So you use whatever else you have in your toolbox to get opportunities, maybe that’s your looks,’ she added. ‘As soon as you use your looks, for example, you’re objectifying yourself and no one will take you seriously.’

Further elaborating on the double standards, Spiranac cited Nelly Korda posing for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and women having to objectify themselves to market their work.

‘Your counter is women can talk about women’s sports, but women’s sports don’t get the funding, which means they don’t get the eyeballs. And men wanna watch men play sports,’ she said.

‘Women try to market themselves outside their sport. Nelly Korda doing [Sports Illustrated], they’re condemned for even though men do the body issue.’

‘As you can see, there are still a lot of challenges that women face in the sports industry,’ she continued.

‘Wear what you wanna wear, say what you wanna say, do what you wanna do because no matter what you do, how you do it, you will always get push back and someone will always have something to say.’

‘So do what you want to do and keep pushing,’ Spiranac closed to nearly three-minute clip.

‘I’m sure this take will provoke only kind comments and absolutely no one will tell me to shut up because of what I like to wear lol,’ she captioned.
