This article focuses on the differences between the male and female gender. It does not techically deal with sports but it is useful in the fact that it compares the differences and similarities between the genders, and why some of the stereotypes are made.

This article deals specifically with the femenist idea of women being treated unfairly in sports. This article seems very biased towards women, but can be useful to point out what femenists think and why they come to these conclusions. This article may be useful for the women's side of the argument, but I will need to do further research to find out the men's perspective on the issue.

This article is a sociological article for examining the issues of gender, as well as race, and class. These issues are a very important part of the society. These issues are also very important to notice in sport because things may effect the way a person thinks or makes decisions. This article deals with not only race but a variety of different things that people discrimiate about and can be useful because it does not only focus on gender and we can maybe have a better idea of why people think the way they do when we see more issues.

This is a very good article for the question I currently have. It is a sociological article that explains the image that women athletes currently have, and why men have more media coverage. This article is biased towards the women's side, but I think for a good reason. Women do not get as much media coverage as men, and that is the main issue I am trying to explore.

This article talks about the same issues of gender in sport, but I think this article is very useful because it is about Candian sports and not in America which puts more variety into my research.

This is another article that deals specifically with women being discrimated against. It deals with my question because women are being descrimated against in sports, and not the workplace but it is still the same issue that is being talked about.
David: Nice. You're still a little light on the annotations, since they aren't specific or detailed enough. You could, in your further research, explore how gender in general ideas might affect sports.
