Why Women Feel Ignored in Sports Media

Send us a text

In this episode of The Sports Girlie Podcast, Jeanae Robinson gets real about something so many women feel but rarely say out loud — being invisible in sports spaces.

From being talked over in conversations, to having our knowledge questioned, to being reduced to how we look instead of what we know, women are constantly made to feel like we don’t truly belong in the world of sports. And it’s not because we don’t love the game — it’s because sports media was never built with us in mind.

Jeanae shares personal experiences, cultural realities (especially here in Jamaica), and the quiet ways this exclusion affects women’s confidence, voice, and visibility. This episode is for every girl who has ever loved sports deeply but felt small in the room.

This is why The Sports Girlie exists — to make space for women to show up, speak up, and take up space without apology.
