Women are capable athletes and there is a market for women's sports. There is no good reason why women should be excluded from playing sports. Women can be just as valuable and contribute to the sports industry as men. Sarah Maratta is an extraordinary woman who has experienced the evils of sexism in sports. It is not fair that women should be subjected to stereotypes and prejudicial circumstances. Women should have equal opportunities in everything. There should be no prejudice against them. Women should be given every opportunity to earn a job or position, whether it is sports-related or not. I am a supporter of Maratta's idea that there are no partial movements for women's equality. Women should have equal chances not only in sports, but also in life. When it comes to equality, there is no substitute.
