Men & Sports

My name is Devan Marry, and I am a Division 1 wrestler at Eastern Michigan University. I have been avidly involved in sports since I was 6 years old. In the world of sports, men have seemed to dominate the playing field. This may be because of the early start they had in terms of history. Dating all the way back to the first days of the Olympic games, men were always the ones partaking in the events. These events first took place all the way back in 776 BC in Greece to honor Zeus and other Gods or Goddesses at Olympia. Men have been generally seen as the better athletes, from 776 BC all the way to the modern age. The women actually did not have an organized set of Olympic events till the twentieth century. The playing field is starting to even out now due to women becoming more active in male dominated sports, or starting leagues of their own in these sports. I will be sharing with you stories on the topic of all these sports and the aspects that involve the male participants and stories pertaining to their sexuality and gender.
