Posted on 2008-10-10 03:31:43

With the Super Bowl over people might be suffering withdrawal from their weekly dose of pigskin and the incredibly good-looking Tom Brady. But hark there appears to be a solution and no it is not the return of the XFL. Recently in New Mexico about 40 women tried out for a new women's professional football team. Like everyone. I've been hearing about a women's pro football league for years but it seems that one is now in the works. I'm really surprised that it took this long since the Women's National Basketball Association is already in its ninth season. I like most people believe in equality. I am inclined to give women every opportunity to get — or even take by force — equal representation in our current male-dominated society. Men shouldn't be the only ones to walk on the moon women should too. I mean it's about time. However I must object to a women's pro football league (there are even talks for a pro hockey league too). Professional sports today are more about money than anything else. Athleticism and physicality aside money drives professional sports. The WNBA is in a downward spiral of losing money and hardly anyone ever goes to the games. Who remembers the team that won the championship two years ago? Last year? That's what I thought. Look at the recent folding of the Women's Professional Soccer League. It looks like ages ago (1999 to be exact) that the U. S women's soccer team won the World Cup — an event that empowered women everywhere. No one doubts the athleticism of female soccer players but the fact that a professional league of any sport male or female can go bankrupt says a lot about its popularity. Mia Hamm even offered to take a pay cut to save the league but it wasn't enough from the world's most popular female soccer player (and arguable the most popular female athlete). I love Anna Kournikova just as much as the next guy but soccer is much more popular than tennis. The concept is about much more than just giving women an equal shot at sports glory and fame. It's about financial viability and sustainability. Starting up a league is hard enough but being able to maintain and develop it is even more daunting. People hoping to create a new league don't talk about how revolutionary or groundbreaking it will be but rather how much money they hope to make with it. How many teams have folded in the WNBA? Too many. If women want a league how come women don't go in droves to the WNBA or WUSA games and salute their sisters-in-arms? It's more than just petitions protests and ongoing debates for sexual equality that will get the ball rolling. It's about filling up the stadiums and coliseums with people and more importantly fans. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for women playing sports. Heck it even turns me on. But if women want this football league to mean something more than a token suffrage prize they had better work hard to see this league succeed and help atone for the fact that Paris Hilton and Britney Spears exist. I must disagree that women should not have a pro football league i think it's one of the best things to happen! I'm in tenth grade and i play for my high school football team yeah women are physicaly different and have more risks of getting hurt because of the way we are built but that should only give us a reason to work harder than the average male or female! i've played football on teams ever since i was 5 last summer was the first time i played on a team being the only girl and with pads... NOT FLAG FOOTBALL!! i started on both sides of the ball and stood firmly as a line'woman' i was 15 at 170lbs and 5'5" no one got through! So as far as i'm concerned girls can do the same as a guy if not better! I have nothing but respect for women and how athletic some women are. My article is about how much involved money is in professional sports and the fact that there isn't much of a market for women's professional sports. I think more people watch the world series of poker on any given night than they watch WNBA games (based on ratings). Doesn't that say it all? I think Mia Hamm is amazing and I don't doubt that women can play football soccer or any other sport well the fact is will people want to watch it. And I think the answer is leaning towards 'NO'. thanx for the response however if more and more people talk about "girl football" enough then ratings would go up i mean think about it who wouldn't want to watch a gurl kick butt? even if it is with other gurls? if they are just as interesting why wouldn't you watch it? then just for kicks.. eventually women may even begin co-ed nfl!! maybe later than sooner.. but eventually i'm not trying to randomly argue with you but to merely open your eyes! One. Do women have the right to play sports? Yes. Two. Do women have the right to have form their own leagues to support their play and sports? Yes. Three. Should women form their own leagues to support their play and sports? Maybe. The point of having professional sports leagues is to motivate the most talented players and entertain fans who enjoy the sports. The point isn't to have a league for the sake of having a league. That's the main problem with the WNBA. It was formed for the sake of having a women's pro league and it has been on life support since its inaugural season. A league like the WUSA which had top notch talent and most importantly in the international community world cup success. The WUSA folded which was tragic and the fact that the WNBA hasn't tells a lot about the unfairness of what this country calls a success or not. If a women's football league were to survive it would have to build itself as an alternative to men's football as opposed to merely a substitute for the game played during other months of the year. That's been a huge problem with the WNBA and recently the XFL. People don't want to see a near replica of a sport they love just alternatives to it. Well I think what we need is female athletes to break through into pro sports. Lots of ppl watch NFL. NBA. MLB and NHL. As much as I love hockey I wouldn't watch a womans-only league. Fans want to know they're team is the best. They want to believe in them. If your team will never be able to play against the Tom Bradys of sports than who cares? You can never prove your the best except by playing against the best. Thank you Tina for proving my brother wrong you're awesome!! Dr. my position is indefensible. It's just a gut (haha) reaction that I have when I see women punching each other in the head (boxing) losing all their feminine body fat (runners weightlifters) selectively breeding down to 4'11" munchkins (gymnastics) and so on. Never had the privilege to watch women's rugby. Sounds dreadful. As far as men participating in contact sports well with the exception of these idiots on steroids men become more manly which seems fine as opposed to women becoming more manly. Is it just me?The one sport that should be banned (in addition to bullfighting) is boxing along with its cousin extreme fighting. I get it. I followed pro boxing when I was younger. Ali. Quarry. Frazier. Hilary Swank. Foreman. Tyson. Mr. T. Curly of the Three Stooges ("Moe. Larry the cheese!") all the greats. Again it's just a gut feeling. There's something wrong about paying money to see two guys pound each other in the head. Yes duane it is just you. Those same sentiments have been applied in the past to arguments that women should not drive vote be educated speak without male permission yada yada... It comes down to choice and opportunity. If girls like Tina love playing football boxing or whatever then they should be able to pursue excellence at it. If that offends the sensibilities of men who prefer their women 'feminine' then tough titty. It's not about them. Boxing now - that's another topic entirely. It's going to die off before too long. I reckon thanks to its own mismanagement and disorganization. It's no longer the sport of kings the game of Ali and Foreman. Hagler and Spinks. It's become the laughing stock of sports: what are there eleven separate governing bodies now? Being a 'world' boxing champion today is pretty much meaningless. UFC is knocking traditional boxing - literally and figuratively - out of the ring. Dr. D.: "Those same sentiments have been applied in the past...."Ah so you would have it that I equate women's basic rights to manliness and that therefore they should have none. Ouch. There is a world of difference between voting and purposely inflicting abdominal trauma to win the big game no?If that offends the sensibilities of men who prefer their women 'feminine' then tough titty. It's not about them. Good Lord. I feel like I'm being scolded. Tough titty? A Freudian slip? You might have nailed it right there. I'm not offended Dr. If women want to grow their biceps to the size of a grapefruit and if they want to screw around with their hormonal balance great. If they want to lose a few teeth swell. But it's a misguided application of the principle of 'equality of the sexes.' Men and women are NOT equal physically. That has NOTHING to do with civil rights right? Correct. It's not and never should have been about women being the same as men. Where would be the fun in that?In fact the whole point is that women's sports though played to broadly the same rule book as men's are subtly different* to watch due to the physiological and psychological differences between the sexes. If you've watched a women's basketball or soccer game you'll know what I mean. It's the same sport but played in a different way - and the spectator likewise can appreciate and enjoy the differences. Yet another reason why women should not be barred from having the same opportunities as men. Those sports where this is so (and admittedly there aren't many) are all the richer for it.(BTW. 'tough titty' was not a Freudian slip but a rather crude British expression which seemed to fit rather well in the context of the discussion!) Women's rugby?Internationally and only among the top teams like England and NZ it's about the same standard as the top-grade of the local subbies (suburban competition) in Sydney (which is pretty damn good really). Main problem for women's rugby is rugby is a game where brute strength is key. It can be pretty to watch when the backs are running the ball around the park but it doesn't and can't by definition have the same firepower and biff and barge up front at the highest levels - which is what makes the game so spectacular. I notice most of the forwards wear headgear too probably so they won't get cauliflower ears. Smart... But rugby is a wonderful game to play - the game they play in Heaven - at any level of fitness or ability which is probably why so many women are now playing it.

"Do Indians make good mascots?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:19:41

With the Cleveland Indians continuing to alter mincemeat of the Red Sox. Vernon Bellecourt. "an Ojibwa Indian who waged a desire campaign for native rights," has died at age 75. While Cleveland is a venerable presence in the American League the naming of sports teams for Indians or more specifically the use of cartoonish mascots is such a desire tradition that we are mostly inured to it. Yet could you imagine professional or college sports using another racial or ethnic group for such a purpose? He was arrested twice for burning an effigy of the ’ mascot. Chief Wahoo and protested the Washington Redskins at the Super roll. Mr. Bellecourt said Indian nicknames for sports teams perpetuated stereotypes making it easier to forget the real identities problems and demands of Native Americans. The argument gained traction. In 2001 the United States equip on Civil Rights criticized the use of Indian images and nicknames by non-Indian schools calling them “insensitive in light of the long history of forced assimilation that American Indian populate undergo endured in this country.” With many other forces in play how much Mr. Bellecourt’s race has influenced colleges and universities to abandon Indian mascots is hard to calculate. But in recent years more than a half dozen undergo done so including the this year. In 2005 the barred Indian mascots during postseason tournaments. A few newspapers undergo quit using Indian-related nicknames. Professional sports teams undergo been more resistant although Mr. Bellecourt applauded in 1996 when Syracuse’s Class AAA baseball aggroup became the Skychiefs after 62 years of being the Chiefs. What Bellecourt called his “big four” targets — the Washington Redskins the Kansas City Chiefs the Cleveland Indians and the — undergo not budged.

"Comment by Dr Dreadful on Women =//= Professional Sports" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 19:10:10

With the Super Bowl over people might be suffering withdrawal from their weekly process of pigskin and the incredibly good-looking Tom Brady. But hark there appears to be a solution and no it is not the return of the XFL. Recently in New Mexico about 40 women tried out for a new women's professional football team. Like everyone. I've been hearing about a women's pro football league for years but it seems that one is now in the works. I'm really surprised that it took this long since the Women's National Basketball Association is already in its ninth season. I like most people accept in equality. I am inclined to furnish women every opportunity to get — or even take by compel — compete representation in our current male-dominated society. Men shouldn't be the only ones to go on the moon women should too. I mean it's about measure. However I must object to a women's pro football unify (there are change surface talks for a pro hockey league too). Professional sports today are more about money than anything else. Athleticism and physicality aside money drives professional sports. The WNBA is in a downward turn of losing money and hardly anyone ever goes to the games. Who remembers the team that won the championship two years ago? Last year? That's what I thought. Look at the recent folding of the Women's Professional Soccer League. It looks desire ages ago (1999 to be exact) that the U. S women's soccer aggroup won the World Cup — an event that empowered women everywhere. No one doubts the athleticism of female soccer players but the fact that a professional league of any sport male or female can go bankrupt says a lot about its popularity. Mia Hamm even offered to act a pay cut to save the league but it wasn't enough from the world's most popular female soccer player (and arguable the most popular female athlete). I like Anna Kournikova just as much as the next guy but soccer is much more popular than tennis. The concept is about much more than just giving women an compete shot at sports glory and fame. It's about financial viability and sustainability. Starting up a league is hard enough but being able to keep and develop it is even more daunting. populate hoping to create a new unify don't communicate about how revolutionary or groundbreaking it will be but rather how much money they hope to make with it. How many teams undergo folded in the WNBA? Too many. If women want a league how come women don't go in droves to the WNBA or WUSA games and honor their sisters-in-arms? It's more than just petitions protests and ongoing debates for sexual equality that will get the roll rolling. It's about filling up the stadiums and coliseums with people and more importantly fans. At last analyse there was roughly an compete be of men and women in the country. If men can alter stadiums why can't women? Don't get me do by. I'm all for women playing sports. Heck it change surface turns me on. But if women want this football league to convey something more than a token suffrage prize they had better bring home the bacon hard to see this unify succeed and help atone for the fact that Paris Hilton and Britney Spears exist. I must be that women should not have a pro football league i think it's one of the best things to happen! I'm in tenth evaluate and i play for my high school football aggroup yeah women are physicaly different and undergo more risks of getting cause to be perceived because of the way we are built but that should only furnish us a reason to bring home the bacon harder than the average male or female! i've played football on teams ever since i was 5 last summer was the first time i played on a team being the only girl and with pads... NOT sign FOOTBALL!! i started on both sides of the ball and stood firmly as a lie'woman' i was 15 at 170lbs and 5'5" no one got through! So as far as i'm concerned girls can do the same as a guy if not better! I undergo nothing but consider for women and how athletic some women are. My bind is about how much involved money is in professional sports and the fact that there isn't much of a market for women's professional sports. I evaluate more people check the world series of poker on any given night than they check WNBA games (based on ratings). Doesn't that say it all? I evaluate Mia Hamm is amazing and I don't doubt that women can play football soccer or any other feature come up the fact is ordain people want to watch it. And I evaluate the answer is leaning towards 'NO'. thanx for the response however if more and more people communicate about "girl football" enough then ratings would go up i mean think about it who wouldn't want to watch a gurl impel adjoin? even if it is with other gurls? if they are just as interesting why wouldn't you watch it? then just for kicks.. eventually women may even begin co-ed nfl!! maybe later than sooner.. but eventually i'm not trying to randomly lay out with you but to merely open your eyes! One. Do women have the right to compete sports? Yes. Two. Do women undergo the alter to have create their own leagues to give their play and sports? Yes..
