Through the Eyes of the People
Sports, Gender and Race in the eyes of the people have changed over the years. In the article, “Just Do… Sports, Bodies and Gender” by Michael Messner various facts and opinions are stated to contrast the differences between males and females when it comes to sports. Many people favor drastic conclusions when it comes to males and females involved in sports with no evidence backing it up. To back this up, Messner uses various examples throughout his article. It is also seen that he uses many other rhetorical tools to state his main points throughout the body paragraphs to make them stronger yet valid. His thesis is strong throughout the paper as he clearly ties it in throughout the article. While the article continues on, it leads to a comparison and contrast between males and females. However, as he ends he uses visuals to tie the paper all in together. This article is somewhat the same as making a sandwich. Therefore, Messner uses many common rhetorical tools to argue points of males and females in this article. That is why Micheal Messners work should be highly recommended to be used throughout UNM-Taos English 102 courses.
It seems as though, when controversy comes along it is thought that males are better athletes than females. Males are known to have certain advantages. While females are seen to be at a slight disadvantage compared to them. This comparison has led to arguments all over the world and also in this article. With this in mind, both males and females have their own advantages when it comes to sports. It has become evident through this reading that the readers have the proper understanding of sports and the difference between males and females as Messner uses the comparison of race and gender to once again tie into the thesis. Overall, male and female sports are usually examined through their main characteristics: Gender and Race.
