    State funding of “women’s sports” is the epitomy of unfairness.

    Sports should be funded with competetive sports participants determined by competition, not gender.

    Let all the women try out for all the “non-discriminatory universal sex” sports teams, so what if none make it, why should we fund a separate sports program for inferior women anyway?

    And why stop at just sports? Why not institute a non-discrimination policy for all jobs too-like police & fire?

    Aren’t we supposed to NOT DISCRIMINATE?

    Ram their equality down their throats until they choke on it.

    Women want equality-lets give it them, lets tax women 20% more for SS benefits too, they live on average 10 years longer than men.

    I listen to a fair amount of sports talk radio in the Lansing, Michigan area. I have yet to hear ONE person call in and say that switching the high school schedules was helpful.

    Every person I’ve heard say anything about it has a story about a student who had to give up a sport due to a scheduling conflict that didn’t exist before, coaches that formerly could coach BOTH basketball teams having to pick one or the other, a lack of qualified referees because there are now twice as many games at the same time, etc.

    Maybe, BM, the football coach is the highest paid employee of the school is because his program keeps the school solvent. Just a thought.

    There is a market for sports, and little market for what passes for art today, for a reason. You, in typical liberal fashion, do not like the fact that people enjoy things that you don’t enjoy, so you want to harm them. It’s called envy. Get over it.

    My thanks to Michigan Dad, it appears I was completely wrong in my assumption of why they were suing.

    From those posting from the area it appears this case did nothing but injure the class of people it was supposed to help. Now I am confused as to what the suit was all about.

    lastbat, I think it was about money. I’m not being sarcastic. It’s not about equality, just money. You can’t sue for equality or to change minds, just dollars.

    No one was thinking, “Boy this will really hurts those girls” when they wrote of the schedules, so it doesn’t even rise to the level of thought crime. At best someone is getting revenge for their whining being ignored, at worst it’s just all about money, like most of these assinine suits.
