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.:)
Perhaps title IX should be extended into the Armed Forces, too.
Equal numbers of men and women in all the branches. If not enough women are interested, spend tax dollars to find ways to make combat seem more intriguing to women. If this fails to up distaff recruitment sufficiently, cull the ranks of male soldiers until the numbers balance out.
If it's good enough for college sports, it should be good enough, as well, for the real-life competitive squabbles against rivals that sports merely simulate.
