Basketball

An interesting thing happend tonight regarding gender. I was watching the NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship tonight with Tasha. She made a comment about how surprised she was that I was watching it. I think I've made comments in the past about women's sports and how they're less significant. However, my Dad enjoys watching Women's sports more. His reasoning is simple, because women's sports are viewed as less significant they feel they have more to prove. I made a comment tonight along the same lines about why I was watching the game.

It struck me later how true this is of society. Look at the attitude America has towards women's sports. No one would actually speak out publicly about this because the radical feminists would be all over them. BUT the WNBA? It gets made of fun all the time, barely covered on ESPN. U.S. Women's National Soccer Team? It only has some respect because it won the World Cup and the Men can't even get out of the first round.

These athletes are GOOD athletes, they prove it everyday. They work harder than any man just to get some attention.
