Activity 1: Making a Racket
For this Summer Learning Journey activity, we had to watch these two videos on Serena and Venus Williams speaking about equal pay. These two women are amazing athletes and some of the best tennis players. What I would like to know more about is how this is affecting players in other sports, and the three things I learnt from the videos is that...
1. Venus, Serena, and many other female athletes seek for equal pay when it comes to tennis: but others think to get this they would have to play the same sets or play against male players as well.
2. They both play extreme games and conquer great titles, proving that they're as capable as men.
3. The women think that endorsement deals should be more equal and they would like both women and men advocating and supporting it (meaning signing endorsement deals as way of making money off the court; like players in ad's showing their approval of said product).
