1/13/23: “In the sports section, it’s ‘like women’ didn’t exist’ here in Boston
Laura Everett on All Things Considered with Arun Rath on WGBH
“The Boston sports scene is known for its die-hard fanatics, so much so that many claim Beantown is the greatest sports city in America. But sports media coverage is lacking in some areas — a fact which became abundantly clear to one woman on Nov. 26th, 2021. Upon turning to the sports section of The Boston Globe, the Rev. Laura Everett was shocked to find that of the 12 full pages, there was not one mention of a women’s sports team. So she took matters into her own hands. Everett, who serves as the executive director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, joined GBH’s All Things Considered host Arun Rath to unpack her new venture: Boston Women’s Sports.“

Despite winning championships, women’s sports in Boston don’t get the attention they deserve
Laura Everett on Under the Radar with Callie Crossley
While the local women’s teams that have been winning championship after championship, they’ve received much less fanfare than their male counterparts at Fenway or Gillette Stadium.
“Sports aren’t inherently male, but in so many spaces we’ve come to accept them as such,” said Rev. Laura Everett, author of the blog, Boston Women’s Sports. “We have national and world champions playing locally, but they’re not getting the coverage they deserve. Whereas so often women’s sports teams are expected to prove that they’re worthy, when the men’s teams are just presumed that they are.”
