Do you love sports? Are you a member of Blogher?

Did you know that 94% of girls in U.S. play sports?

Unfortunately, there is a lack of female athletes being represented in mass media and that is the cultural image of female athletes being absorbed by the majority of young girls who choose to play.

Fortunately, there's hope; the digital landscape is changing the way conversations are communicated about female athletes. A new female athlete sisterhood is starting to form, and by utilizing social media and other, non-traditional platforms, we're breaking down the barriers that previously existed.

Help female athletes and their supporters have a voice. PLEASE vote for a discussion about female athletes and help up get sports / women’s sports/ sportswriting represented on a panel at BlogHer this year.

All you have to is vote I would attend this session.

You don’t have to be attending BlogHer, you don’t have to be a woman, heck, we don’t even really care if you like sports but we do care that sports and especially women’s sports are undervalued in the media and have never even been discussed at a BlogHer conference.

Please just sign in to your BlogHer account and vote, yes, I would attend this session.
