Why is your blog linked to this site?
Everytime you try to connect sports to political themes you do a diservice to women's athletics.
People watch sports to be entertained, not to participate in some socio-political movement. Your insistence that the two are inherently linked does nothing but drive people away, and deters women's sport from gaining traction because casual fans are forced to feel they are making larger decisions than just watching a damn game. You alone cost more potential supporters than all the beer swilling neandrathals who bad mouth womens sports in the local taverns across america. I hope you're proud. Your message to young girls is one of anger and bitterness, not progress.

mcj - Well Played. No way to say it better.
Ms. Buzuvis - Based upon this cross-post seems you feel it's Game On. To be clear, just calling attention to the tone, content and positioning of the output of you and your kindred spirits that hang here at WTS is a good starting point for me. To your credit, most of you haven't pulled your punches, frequently confirming that your social change agenda trumps any potential real world value to girl's and women's sports participants that might occur as a byproduct of your efforts.
What I don't understand, but intend to figure out, is why the majority of women's sports participants, enthusiasts and supporters who don't buy into your worldview remain silent and allow you to try to hijack the direction of women's sports.
Unless WTS bounces me you can expect to have an opportunity to justify your positions going forward on each of your cross-posts here. It would also be cool if the female readers of this site that are not wedded to the Gender Feminist or LGBT agenda weigh in as to how they feel on this issue.
