[Mpls] Strib Sport Section

[Jim Bernstein]

There may be days when there is no female face in the photos, but those
days are rare!  And even rarer is the absence of any reporting about
women's sports. =20

Don=92t know about the NY TIMES.  But the STRIB list scores/results
everyday for every sport that reports.

Tennis counts.  And given recent editions of the STRIB, so does
lacrosse, cycling, track, golf, softball, basketball, ice skating,
swimming, hockey, and soccer.

Ah, myth and reality! My favorite!  ;^)

There is no question that the Strib, PP and others are doing a better=20
job of it.

But, I promise you, if the Gopher women's basketball team is no longer=20
playing, women ain't showing. I can, several days a week, page front to=20
back in the sports section---jeepers, what a glutton for punishment I=20
am!--and find nary a female face in the photographs, and hardly any=20
mention of women in the score listings.

Unless its tennis.

And the New York Times? I don't punish myself anymore. I skip it.

Oh by the way, what's this news I hear that Title IX is now restrained=20
by the Bush Administration? Was that a social echo I hear?

Cheers all!  - Deborah in Linden Hills
