ok here it goes.

I'm writing an essay fir my comp. class.(trying)

The essay is on "Purse Snatching" written by Donna Lopiano, in the article she argues that woman in sports are not paid what their male counterparts are due to sexism. My professor wants us to argue her view by making the statement that economics and not sexism can explain the salary disparity between male and female athletes.

where I'm stuck:
I'm getting a bit of a mental block and I need some help guys!

heres my paragraph thus far

Women who reveal their bodies on the field may garner more endorsements and better pay. However, this is not inherently sexist, because male athletes who do the same receive similar treatment. Ms. Lopiano posits "The media blatently suggests that there athletes' physical appearance is more important and of greater interest than their athletic achievements." (Lopiano1)Upon her victory, Brandi Chastain rips off her jersey. Athletisism (sp) is sexy, and in a capitolist society sex sells. The truth is that an athletes physical apperance is of upmost importance. We as consumers hold their bodies to a standard Zuess would be impressed with. For some reason it is more socially acceptible for a male athlete to show athletic dominance by tearing off a jersey, whereas when a woman reveals her body it is viewed as taboo. Both male and female athletes reap benifits from physical exposure.

what do you guys think?
