So are you saying there is an equal number of males and females in the United States that want to play basketball? Have you not ever wondered why you pick up the sports page first and your wife picks up the front page? I believe it is a slippery slope legislating equality because it, in reality, is impossible.
What sexist garbage. You really love your stereotypes. Personally, no one is beating me to the sports page and box scores. However, I generally refuse to watch college football anymore because of it's negative impact on collegiate endurance sports.
I agree with Geek 100%. OMG, I can't believe I said that. I guess there's a first for everything.
You obviously married wrong, Kurt. My wife, being a proud Dawg, reads the sports section first and then is able to recite the box scores from her photographic memory. This comes in quite handy when disputes about sports facts arise between me and my buddies. Sure, it's slightly humiliating to me but humiliation is something I've grown fond of over the years.
So, if all sports programs at a unversity lose money, which many do, does that mean, by your logic, that the team that loses less money should have more scholarships and more say in how it's spent.
Why don't you tell me what damage has exactly been done to the thousands of female athletes who have participated in college athletics? I'm pretty sure damage isn't a term they would use. But, hey, I'm just speaking out of my ass here.
What the hell is a box score?
I don't know but I'll bet it's got something to do with those panties we found earlier. In fact, I think that's them at the top of the pole -->:whiteflag:
We are never going to agree on this as we disagree on my belief that women, in general, may be a tad less interested in sports and scratching oneself than men.
I would like to make one clarification that I am a proud supporter of women's athletics. I have forced 3 girls (my own, so it's legal) to swim as their extracurricular activity. I have also generously donated at least $30,000 over last 7 years to my wife's cycling career (2004 national age-group time trial champion and still the fastest woman cyclist in the state of Arizona--four years running). So back off haters!
"generously donated"
Well, it's an interesting choice of words for a spouse ...
If fashion magazines were eliminated, maybe more women would do sports. Although, in my house, like yours, it's mandatory.

What does that mean? Even if you are correct, does that mean they shouldn't get a say or have opportunities available? When you treat a female athlete in the ER, do you give them a tad bit less care because women aren't interested in athletics like men? Did you buy your wife a tad bit less nice bike cause women aren't really serious athletes like men?

You are right. I see the light. The Geek-Dickson bill is going before the senate. One provision will be that all colleges must provide equal football opportunities for women.
I might force my kids to try a sport, but not to continue with it. Perhaps that is all you meant.
Pretty much. However, the kids I seem to deal with would rather play game boy than exercise and so they need extra encouragement.

When you are working all day (except today of course) and then coming home and taking care of the family so your spouse can ride, I would call it "donating" as there may not be an equitable share of family duties that day. It's a partnership, we all have needs, I got it. Sorry about my choice of words.

It is not the fault of Title IX that ADs choose to allocate 65 of their men's athletic scholarships to football. As a matter of fact, if the NBA wouldn't have decided to change their rules, Universities like Ohio State, Texas and Kansas State might have a couple more scholarship dollars to give to some male swimmers. I am of course referring to the 'one and done' basketball superstars who could have easily jumped from high school to the NBA. That is a topic for some other hijacked thread though. Geek and Fort are correct in saying that it is sexist for you to say that women are, in general, less interested in sports. A majority of the women I am friends with, including my wife, were or are jocks and are still interested in all sorts of sports. I'm not saying you're a horrible person, but the statement is definitely sexist. Plus, I graduated from a University that had a female football player on scholarship! Not that that's really relevant, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.:cool:
