Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3097729, member: 6911"] I went to the New York Times Sports section and clinked on the article titled, "What's Next In the NCAA Tournament? Let's Look Ahead" [URL="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/sports/ncaa-sweet-16-preview.html"]What’s Next in the N.C.A.A. Tournament? Let’s Look Ahead[/URL] Since there was no separate article about the "Women's" NCAA tournament, I figured that this "What's Next" article would be inclusive of both the men's and the women's tournaments. How silly of me! It seems that when a sports news program or an article talks about "college basketball", or "The Tournament", they mean the men's game. Only when they specify "women's college basketball," or the "women's tournament" are they talking about women. Otherwise, they just assume that you know that it's all about the men. Why can't ESPN or NewYork Times or other outlets stop specifying gender only for women's sports, and just assume that if there is no gender mentioned, of course it's all about the men? I don't bother watching the men's tournament, because, quite frankly, with all of the stars leaving after a few months, the men's game is boring: little teamwork, little cohesion, few really experienced players. The women's game is far more fun to watch: established power teams, developed teamwork over a period of years, lots of passing. In other words, it's what the men's game used to be. The women deserve at least the semblance of gender equality in reporting. [/QUOTE]
