It is almost beyond belief that in 2017 sexism still exists in sport. And while the treatment of women in professional sport is rapidly improving, perhaps it is time that sport\u2019s periphery figures – who endure the bulk of \u2018throwaway\u2019 comments – are stopped being treated like a joke.  <\/p>\n

Molly Darlington, 19, and Chloe Hudson, 20, are both second-year photography students at MMU who specialise in sport and have plenty of experience covering all sorts of fixtures. Yet both have encountered what some might consider \u2018throwaway\u2019 comments about their knowledge of the sport.<\/p>\n

They have even been asked if they have any idea of what is actually going on in a match. <\/p>\n

\n

You get people coming over to you trying to explain the offside rule<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Speaking to SPoJo\u2019s Max Pouncey for Hive Radio<\/a>, Chloe underlines the difficulties of being a young woman in a predominantly male business, but does not seem overly surprised by comments she receives at events. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIt\u2019s tricky being a girl and being young as Molly and I are, 20 and 19, so we\u2019re often not taken seriously. But it\u2019s one of those things, it only takes a couple of comments before they realise you know what you\u2019re talking about and they stop trying to explain the rules to you. We get a lot of \u2018don\u2019t stand too close to the sidelines,\u2019 but it is how it is. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith football being a male-dominated sport, you sometimes get people coming over to you trying to explain the offside rule, asking if you know what they\u2019re doing or what\u2019s going on\u201d <\/p>\n

Yet it seems that the pair are so used to sexist comments and remarks that neither consider the issue detrimental to their work, with Molly telling us she often opts to just \u201cshake it off and get on with it\u201d.  <\/p>\n

On sexism in football, Molly said: \u201cWith football being a male-dominated sport, you sometimes get people coming over to you trying to explain the offside rule, asking if you know what they\u2019re doing or what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019re like \u2018well, yeah, I\u2019ve photographed football for three years every Tuesday and Saturday night so I do know what\u2019s going on.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

So, what inspires somebody to want to become a sports photographer?  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking about her love for photography, Chloe said: \u201cI love the idea of capturing a moment that happens just once and if you\u2019re not there and you don\u2019t capture the moment then it\u2019s gone and it\u2019s passed – but I like to be the person that gets it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Molly added: \u201cI like to capture the emotion on players\u2019 faces when they score. The fans, when they see your pictures, the reaction you get is quite rewarding and satisfying seeing what they think.\u201d <\/p>\n

Chloe has worked as a photographer at a summer camp in New Hampshire, US, for the past three years capturing images of children competing in an entire range of activities. However, her best experience as a sports photographer was here in the UK capturing shots of the Grand National. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat was really exciting and rewarding. I wasn\u2019t very high up on the media coverage so I didn\u2019t get a particularly good spot, but it was a great experience and a really great atmosphere,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Molly specialises primarily in football, and covered her first professional game a week ago at Gigg Lane for Bury v Bradford in League One – a game which The Shakers won 3-1.  <\/p>\n

About this experience, she said: \u201cI got some good celebration shots and and some good shots of the goal, which went all over their social media and their website so it\u2019s getting my name out there to do what I want to do as a job.\u201d <\/p>\n
