Why do we continue to point to lower participating numbers of women in sports to justify the assertion that society is persecuting women? I was a part of a state high school championship team in Colorado and we never cut anybody. My daughters' teams in this very school (Deer Valley) district were regional champions 11 years running. Nobody on their teams got cut. I would assert that the opportunities are there even with the good teams/schools. Is it possible that overall less women are interested in sports? Badminton would put us in compliance??? Swell.
And for what it's worth, I think Hogshead got touched out in the 84 Olympics.
Fort, it's been awhile, please educate me again.:)
To avoid any hint of discrimination they should have the same number of sports for girls and boys. Since they have boys football and wrestling teams (even with the caveat that girls are welcome), but no girls' teams without a boys counterpart, there's always that hint of discrimination. At my HS we had girls volleyball, softball and gymnastics teams to balance out the boys sports of football, baseball and wrestling.
