which sociological theoretical framework is being used to examine the institution of sports? what level of sociology does the theoretical framework use? this theory directs our attention that throughout history men have dominated the world of sports. for example, the first modern olympic games, held in 1896, barred women from competition. throughout most of the twentieth century, little league teams barred girls based on traditional ideas that girls and women lack the strength to play sports and risk losing their femininity if they do. both the olympics and the little league are now open to females as well as males, but even today, our society still encourages men to become athletes while expecting women to be attentive observers and cheerleaders. at the college level, men’s athletics attracts a greater amount of attention and resources compared to women’s athletics, and men greatly outnumber women as coaches, even in women’s sports (welch & sigelman, 2007). at the professional level, women also take a back seat to men, particularly in sports with the most earning power and social prestige.
