I think that is also one of the problems with Title IX, much like the introduction of the federal Income Tax, it went from a small impact and small scope and expanded into a behemoth never intended (I.e rape, sexual assault vehicle with powers that call into question it’s impact on due process)While we're expanding things... Can we please have a curling team?
There aren’t as many women/girls that want to play as much as boys but there are plenty three travel ball organizations in the Knoxville area alone that travel to play in those kind of tournaments and do similar training type activities…… Tennessee Fury, Trotters, and East Tennessee Air. The commitment from the parents have to be there whether it is a boy or female….. Now really specials athletes can get scholarships but those kids are rare.Your daughter is an exception though. That's the problem. Not many girls have those opportunities. She's lucky to have a parent like you who helped make them happen.
This is exactly the point. There’s no equity overall in the interest in sports between boys/girls & men/women. Then to top it off, the revenue is generated in the mens sports to spread along to other sports (to include mens non revenue, of which I was one and never complained at cuts because I understood that)There aren’t as many women/girls that want to play as much as boys but there are plenty three travel ball organizations in the Knoxville area alone that travel to play in those kind of tournaments and do similar training type activities…… Tennessee Fury, Trotters, and East Tennessee Air.

Where's @InVOLuntary tonight? Seems like the time for one of his misogynistic, anti-women sports rants....Women's curling! Who ever heard of such a silly cockamamy notion as that.
