THREAD. Was just scrolling the @SkySportsNews app, wondering what is going on in the world of sport whilst the world isn’t playing any sport. A time where - maybe - we could start to see a diversification in the type of coverage, away from men’s sport? Of course not

One story on the trailblazing @Fsherrock early on, and another on Rocky Murdoch and women’s rugby league in the first 35 stories and videos featured @SkySportsNews

The next 4 screenshots don’t feature a single woman

And then we get @JessThirlby of @EnglandNetball near the end. By my calculations, that’s 3 articles in women’s sport in the 76 articles and videos on the homepage of the app. 4%. #womeninsport

One last quick check and count...8 advertisements. So 250% more app space to adverts than women’s sport, on a sports news app. And on my last check, the current adverts (which rotate) were for women’s clothes brands. So more female bodies (5) on show in the adverts than for sport

Whilst there is pretty much ZERO SPORT going on, men’s and women’s, why not feature some of the amazing athletes who don’t normally get the space in the sports media. Tell their stories @SkySportsNews #womeninsport #cantseecantbe
