Positivity of Women Athletes: Laila Ali and Others


Watch this video from boxer Laila Ali who talks about her choice in career of boxing. I found it intewresting how women goes outside the barriers and do careers that men are expected to do. She once said in a interview "im a stronger puncher than my father." By making this statement she made it clear she is stronger as a man and nothing can come in her way not even her father fame in the same field and many women feels this sort of power when it comes to sports than rather using their bodies. She shows the positive side of how women in the sports should be protrayed in the media with a form of some sexuality. I find it interesting women like laila ali is still around. Here are some of Laila Ali photos and other women like her that show sports as empowering  that I show that women athletes have some form of sexuality and still use this as a form as empowerment:
