Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 2752924, member: 1220"] Good post! People seem to have forgotten the purpose of athletics is to enjoy competition, not just to win that is why events are often categorized by age, size and gender. If nothing is done to undo this trend, this will destroy everything gained under Title Nine. It will destroy girls sports and Women's college athletics. Why? To attempt help a small percentage individuals with their identity issues, you throw a vast number of other individuals under the bus. I am sure people who have always disrespected girls and women's athletics are getting a real kick out of this. People in this country seem to believe that everyone can have everything when ever they want. Sometimes the only option involves choices. It sort of reminds me of how sometimes parents become focused on one child of need and in the process ignore and throw their other children under the bus. This usually ends up being to the detriment of even the focused on child. This is the reason I often object to political correctness. Nothing wrong with the correctness part, but the political part changes too often with time. The focus on correcting one injustice tends to transfer the injustice on to a different group. It seldom results in real justice rather switches the roles of who gets favoritism and who gets the shaft. [/QUOTE]
