Now is the time when sports should be unsoiled from the gender disparity and unfairness, stated by the Helen Grant, Minister for UK sports in the light of sports study published by BBC, found that around 30% sports pay low compensations to women, compared to men.

The top most prejudices in terms of prices are observed to be in certain sports only, such as Snooker, Football, Squash, Cricket, Darts and Golf. In an interview to BBC sports, Helen told that, “there is a huge difference and it needs to be wiped out and it takes sufficient time to overcome this curse. We are very much aware that women sports have its own charm and filled with excitement and have the potential to engage big audience counts, but it requires more media attention and investments.”

He further suggested that, “it is not the matter to earn high profits and ROI which they will certainly achieved, but the thing is to abolish the gender inequality and take active part for fairness combat in this new century.”

There are almost 56 sports data included in the comprehensive sports study by BBC, in which 35 sports pay rewards, 25 pay equally and 10 are those sports that do not pay anything. More than 14 sports including hockey, rugby have nothing to do with paying any prize money. Around 5 sports didn’t provide any investigations regarding compensations and both of the genders contend with one another in equestrian and horse racing.

Alternatively, sports like shooting, skating, athletics, tennis, bowls and volleyball usually pay prize money on equality basis since 2004. During the early decade, up to nine sports have started following the same with five of them are taekwondo, windsurfing, cycling, sailing, and some diving events, showing no partiality when it comes to paying rewards in the last few years.
