Slaying the Trolls

Women’s sports are exploding. Attendance records are being set in soccer around the world. College stars like Caitlin Clark have people waiting in lines for hours to see her play. And the WNBA – where league revenues have reportedly doubled in just four short years – is clearly taking off.

Slaying the Trolls! Why the Trolls are Very, Very Wrong about Women and Sports provides the arguments and empirical evidence to demonstrate what the trolls are saying is completely inconsistent with reality. This book notes that millions of women are sports fans and the fan base for women’s sports really is exploding. Women are also athletes, and they often are better at sports than men (really!). Men do often draw bigger audiences than women. But that is because men have discriminated against women for decades.

Throughout this book, women within the sports industry and others who support them will find the evidence to fight back against outdated sexism. Slaying the Trolls – written by two academics who have studied women and sports extensively, David Berri and Nefertiti Walker – gives those who love women’s sports all the evidence they need to win the fight against the trolls!
