I don’t think it is a zero sum game. I think women still aren’t getting our due here. We have more opportunities to play, but men are getting more coaching opportunities to caoch women.

Title IX is part of an education act, so it is not specifically about sports, but since sports exist in educational settings and are sponsored by those schools. Women are entitled to equal opportunities.

Which part of Title IX demonstrates an intention to address sports?
Has the elimination of men’s sports as a result of Title IX merely
produced a pool of (now) excess productive and qualified male coaches?
Is the case of, say, University of New Hampshire’s drastic elimination
of some intecollegiate, and international sports altogether, despite offers
of private financing, a model of disaster for all in the future?s
Hasn’t Title IX just proven to be a “zero sum”, or lose- lose situation?

other is the fact that women of color have not benefited much at all from this legislation. I certainly support Title IX, but we have to look at how opportunities can be expanded to include all women at all levels of the sports bureaucracy. posted12:01 am at Alas, a blog
