Sports Channel for Women TV Network Launches Search for the Top 100 Female Athletes of 2012

May 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Austin, TX – Sports Channel for Women TV Network announced today that they are taking nominations for Sports Channel for Women’s ‘100 Best Female Athletes of 2012.’  Nominations are being accepted online now at http://sportschannelforwomen.com/top/top100females.html.  Nominated female athletes may come from any country and any sport or physical activity. Athletes may be amateurs, professionals, in high school, college, or beyond.

Anyone may submit nominations from anywhere in the world and for any sport. Those submitting nominations may do so as often as they like, and may nominate themselves. On September 15, 2012 the countdown of the best female athletes selected by a blue-ribbon panel from those nominated will be revealed online, in social networking sites and in traditional media.

Darryl Mobley, CEO and co-founder of Austin, TX based Sports Channel for Women said, “I’m excited to announce this effort by Sports Channel for Women which is designed to gain exposure for top female athletes from around the world. It’s time that women get recognition for their hard work and outstanding athletic achievements.”

“Think of all the great female athletes who set world records, shatter personal bests, and perform with excellence for extended periods of time,” says Mobley, “yet the world barely knows them because their efforts, accomplishments and earth-shaking performances have been intentionally overlooked by a male-centered sports media. Sports Channel for Women’s ‘100 Best Female Athletes of 2012’ – inspired by the 40th anniversary of Title IX – will never again let top female athletes be overlooked.”

The final list of the 100 best female athletes for 2012 will allow the more than 93 million U.S. females, and women worldwide, who competitively run, stretch, golf, bowl, swim, row, lift, dribble, rope, sail, balance, throw, climb, dive, pitch, kick, skate, shoot, cycle, swing, tackle, push, hit, jump, ride, spike – and more… see themselves, and those they identify with, celebrated.

Mobley asked, “Who are the best female runners, climbers, jumpers, speed skaters, archers, golfers, fitness experts, barrel racers, rowers, wrestlers, swimmers, surfers, divers, fencers, gymnasts, biathletes, skiers, weight lifters, martial artists or cyclists? Who are the best basketball, soccer, netball, lacrosse, rugby, volleyball, handball, ice hockey, cricket, hockey, softball, water polo, squash, table tennis, roller derby, badminton, and field hockey players?   Most people don’t know the answers to these questions. Sports Channel for Women’s mission is to make sure that everyone knows.”
