Broadly, I think so many of these issues get tough because of the wildly different roles "sports" can play for people and we end up conflating them. As in, are they: - Elite competitions to see who is the best at a thing? - Child and teen activities for health and cameraderie? - Million dollar entertainment that exists mostly for the fans? etc. etc. All of these are different enough such that it almost makes no sense to try to use the same "gender analysis" stuff for all of them. They serve different goals.
