There can be a lot of that in sports, or at least in male sports (being male I haven't spent a lot of time in female sports). Although having relatively recently taken up training gymnastics where the athlete make up is usually 70-30 of 60-40 women to men, I haven't heard any sexist language.

The other group I train with (for a martial art) has told some people to be more careful with their language and for those who couldn't they've gotten the boot.
