Adding the gender to men's competitions elevates women's sports to a level playing field

The NCAA, PGA, FIFA and the NBA all favor male athletes. These athletic institutions have their marquee championships like March Madness, the World Cup, or, in terms of leagues, the National Basketball Association.

Then, they have Women’s March Madness, the Women’s World Cup, and the Women’s National Basketball Association. The verbal distinction of gender for the women’s versions, but no distinction for the men’s competitions, shows that there is the regular, main championship, and then there’s the “other” event.

In a 60 Minutes special on American soccer star Christian Pulisic,it was mentioned that the US has never won a World Cup.
