Yes!

I’m a longtime UConn fan and am always delighted to find a fellow fan — particularly in the testosterone-driven fandom of D.C.

Thanks for the great post. Really watching women’s basketball is a different game than men based on teamwork. The women’s game is so much more about working together than brute force and I don’t find it boring. When I was in fifth grade it was the first year that there was girls basketball in the elementary schools where I grew up. It was a great experience that I think shaped my life in so many ways. Now there are hundreds of opportunities for my girls and it is scary that I can remember when it wasn’t the same.

So tru, women don’t have to dunk to prove athleticism. I coach a girls aau team in Houston TX, and it has been a wonderful three year ride. Yes, I have a daughter and a niece on the team, but love to see all the girls grow in the game. We have gone to the local playgrounds, and competed against men and boys the last three summers, won some lost some, but have gained everyones respect, win or lose. When r sports fans going to recognize that a basket counts the same withor without dunking. I really enjoy womens bball as much or more than men. REALLy!

Needs more dunking. Seriously though, a person only has a limited number of hours to watch sports during any given day. If I am going to spend 2.5 hours watching sports, I am going to watch the biggest, fastest and strongest athletes available to me. 95% of the time that is going to be male athletes. Title IX is terrific, and and has had an enormously wonderful impact on the lives of women in particular and America as a whole. I am glad that sports are more accessible. However, I just don’t find womens sports as enthralling as men’s. Women’s sports are akin to broccoli. Great for the body and soul, just not top on my list when I’m footing the bill. I’ll take the steak or swordfish thanks!

and a local HS team — Oakton Cougars — made it to the state finals this year, after a 30-0 (yes, undefeated) regular season. They lost, in the end, but it was a fantastic game and even carried on the local W channel! Yet — not covered in the Post. Bc the boys were playing. That’s the inequity that drives me most crazy.
