Pretty much. However, the kids I seem to deal with would rather play game boy than exercise and so they need extra encouragement.
Gotcha.
Well it all boils down to being women's lib at fault. If chicks has just stuck to knitting and fussing over kitten and bunnie this whole thread would be moot.
The push for equality, harkening back to the right to vote is the undoing of the modern family. There was a time colloeges taught girls how to be good housewives and set the table correctly, now they want an education and to play sports.
Add to that women taking men's jobs, mean fewer guys earning enough to support their familes. Which creates a struggle for many families who now are forced to put 2 parents out to work just to get by.
Really we'd be much better off if girls would be girls--title XID or whatever it is wouldn't be an issue. Thank you for your time.
:bolt:
LOL
Back in the good 'ole days...when Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson were keeping the streets clean of worthless dreck.
The various regional Fox Sports affiliates are showing this meet over the next few weeks, at odd times. Fox SportsPacific is carrying it on March 6 from 4-6 pm ET. Fox SportsSouth is carrying it Tuesday, March 11 from 3-5 am ET.
The SEC Championship was also taped but I haven't seen it pop up since last Saturday but it's sure to be rerun sometime soon.
Set your DVRs.
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).
:shakeshead: Ick. I really hope this is not how my husband views my swimming.
We'll spend upwards of $5K on a single week long swim meet (much more than the $4286/ year average that Kirk spends.) Perhaps I get bonus points for being world ranked. :joker:
Lovely. I'm not sure anyone is saying they are against the merits of equality. Our argument (which has gone nowhere) is how it is defined and legislated.
Well we could following Saudi Arabia's cue and ban women from driving.
1) We'd reduce traffic accidents and supermarket dings
and
B) The oil consumption might drop a bit and help out the economy
It's really too bad I can't run this year.

About this very subject.
Of interest...
The numbers suggest that women and girls have shown an increased interest in playing sports as their opportunities have grown in the Title IX era: About 2.8 million girls play high school sports today, nine times more than in 1971.
But 3.9 million boys play high school sports. Is that because more boys than girls want to play? If so, does that mean more progress needs to be made — or are the girls who want to play already playing?
and...
The arguments become circular and take on a chicken-or-egg quality. More men than women play organized sports — by a ratio of about 57-43 in high schools and colleges. One side says that is evidence of discrimination. The other suggests that's a natural balance based on who wants to play.
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.
Point of clarification... Kansas State University (Wildcats, school colors purple/white) does not have swim teams, male or female. The University of Kansas (Jayhawks, school colors red/blue) has a women's swim team and used to have a men's team.

That sounds fair to me. :rolleyes:
