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.:)

With apologies to all the women's badminton players out there, I would probably only attend a badminton game (male or female) if it was in my own backyard and catered Dave's barbeque was provided.
What sort of crap is this? You can't play badminton in your back yard...you can play "birdie" but that is like suggesting that doggy paddling your way down the pool and avoiding getting your hair wet is swimming.
I don't understand this title 9 thing anyhow. College sports should be amateur and not money driven. Beyond that I don't know how "big and meaningful" women's sports are to the general population.
