Will Further Perversions of Title IX Ruin Women’s Athletics?

Quick (no web searching!), who was the 2016 NCAA Division I women's basketball champion? (Don't tell me that your office didn't do a women’s NCAA tournament bracket contest!) Okay, given that they've (UConn) won it four times in-a-row, that's too easy. Let's try again: Who was the last (2015) WNBA champion? (Hint: They've won it four of the last five seasons.) Don't feel bad, I didn’t know either, and twice in their recent five-year championship run they defeated the team from my home state in the championship series.

Even better: Can you name five WNBA teams? How about five WNBA players? Last year, the most watched women's sporting event of all-time occurred. What was it? Can you name the teams or five players (a hint!) who competed? Neither could I.

In less than 5 years the trannie guys will insist on being on women’s teams.

A-Rod has been playing for the Yankees for years. What's the big deal? /sarc

Well played. Well played.

If a man can play first lady, he figures women can play at men’s sports.

I despise title 9. It ruins men’s athletic programs. It really hurt our family’s sport on college level.

Of course girls should play sports. But since the general public doesn’t want to watch girls at most sports, they won’t be moneymakers. Why don’t all these feminist companies donate for women’s programs and even some men’s programs that don’t make money?

Because title ix is not about sports; it’s about control.

The only women’s sports worth watching are volleyball, tennis, 1/2 of golf, and volleyball.

The rest are just BORING and the participants are UGLY.

Perversions of Title IX will destroy any semblance of a normal social culture . . .

Title IX is itself a perversion of common-law guarantees going back to the Magna Carta and before, that no man is above the law. Title IX and its operatives enforce the opposite purpose: Differential treatment and law enforcement toward individuals and groups according to their political usefulness to the enforcers.

I suppose it's possible to have a perversion of a perversion. In this case, it would be the logical conclusion of the perversion biting the perverters in the butt.

It is already happening and some schools are already explicitly, even inviting, men to play on the women’s teams. Transgenderism will be soon coterminous with women’s sports and there will be few women engaged in professional or college or even high school sports any more. The USSR and East Germany pioneered the concept in the Olympics.

Women’s gymnastics is hugely worthy. It’s incredible what some of those girls can do

"A mediocre HS track or basketball male player would be a star in woman’s HS sports."

so a mediocre male HS player could run circles around a Little Leaguer...what is your point?...

Little League can't compete against HS players let alone college or pros...nobody expects them too...

women do not compete against men because we mostly can't make up for the muscle size and strength...stamina, agility,smarts...yes....muscles, no..

girls and women play sports for the experience , building of skill, coordination and confidence....whether you or anybody watches them is absolutely moot....

and as long as women are 50% of the population and pay taxes and probably make up most of the college students then they should have equal opportunity..

it is NOT or should not be a primary motive for HS or college sports to "make money"....

sports that "make money" have basically ruined sports.

we regularly fill up our local college arena for the womens BB team...its fantastic...

men's athletic programs are "ruined" only because of the greed of men's athletic programs....they build more "facilities" for men's teams on a continual basis...they can't cram enough video games, sauna's, whirlpools,juice bars, closed circuit tvs etc into a modern football locker room to meet demand...ala Oregone...

Both sides need to disavow this tranny bs.

We shouldnt be taking it either when butchy trannies say they are men,’either.

Both statements are wrong. just because I feel bad in the morning doesnt make me 85 years old. Feelings have no part in what gender you are.

Title nine has allowed thousands of women to go to college and have it paid for, just like men....its allowed thousands of women to have the same access to teambuilding and travel experience like the men....

And in the process, eliminated many men’s sports, for “fairness”.
