  • The Interdependence of Feminism and Women's Sports
    Chadwick 1 Hannah Chadwick Dr. Brantley HSTY 409 3 December 2019 The Interdependence of Feminism and Women’s Sports One of the easiest connections you can make to feminism as a young girl is on the playground. Growing up, my first experiences with the word feminism surrounded sports and competition. I always tried my best to wear shorts and sneakers for daily kickball games, much to my mother’s displeasure, constantly prepared to jump in with the sports teams on the playground that were mostly made up of boys. I noticed it in the socially dictated dress code that allowed my brother to comfortably play sports during recess, left me running barefoot in the grass, keeping an eye on my sandals placed under a nearby tree. I first grasped the real meaning of feminism when I finally joined a soccer team, surrounded by the genuine connections, empowerment, and camaraderie sports provide that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. I took bits and pieces of philosophy from the field, my teammates, and later from my female club coach. But with the constant and adjacent rise of the United States Women’s National Soccer Team, gaining national and global platforms, I began to absorb the ideas they projected as well. I grew up in a half Argentinian household where Messi was, and still is, king of the field, but as I became more invested in the sport that drove the world crazy, and the older I got, I turned my eyes to women’s soccer specifically when I was looking to play better.
