Are modern sports inherently sexist in how they treat women?

nope, not at all...

in Tennis, women earn as much sometimes even more than men

in basketball... it is completely funded and maintained by men's league

in soccer... it is the MOST POPULAR than ever before, internationally and nationally both

in the Olympics, there are more and more events for women, and the goal is 50/50

I think the US hockey girls just got a big big contract to go on TV or streaming, or whatever..

now... there's always a choice... you can find things to complain about, or... you can celebrate and enjoy the positives going forward in the right direction

How you should measure pay in sports is by percentage (%) of revenue and women athletes are robbed hand over fist.

For men sports there tends to be a salary cap to keep any single team from buying all the talent and it's about 50% of total revenue generated. While women sports allocate 20% to the players.

In thinking about this more. Women make 80% on average overall and has been improving over time with more workers rights. But without workers rights in sport's how bad it can be.

Again focus on % not on $ amounts.

I don't think so but I'm also not sure in what way the questiom was intended. When it comes to money, many female athletes feel underpaid but the reality is womens sports make a tiny fraction of money compared to mens.
