Are They Unneccesary?
I'm the current Sports editor of the Gramblinite, and I've been hampered by a conflict. Are women sports unneccesary?
Now...I believe that women can do whatever sport they want...and some of them are better than their s*xual counterparts. However, at Grambling, the men dominate everything.
Our women's soccer team won the 2004 SWAC championship. They had little coverage all season. However, they only got a story on their championship win.
Our football team won the Bayou Classic. They got the ENTIRE paper on their win. Um...let's also remember that this is NOT a championship. We finished 6-5. The women's soccer team finished almost undefeated (I forgot their record).
Now you tell me, are they neccesary? Are women's sports making a big enough impact as they should? Should we just throw these programs out the door?
The answer is simple. Yes...they are neccesary. No, they are not making a big enough impact as they should, due to inadequate coverage. No, these programs should be updated.
Our women's team are doing pretty good, considering that they do not get as much money as they should.
Now...if the women's soccer team repeat this season, which they probably won't due to several scandals, should they get the whole paper? You tell me...

From my point of view it is up to people like you to try ur hardest to make sure womens sports do get covered as they should..i know if i was on that soccer team i would be highly upset that just because it is a womens sport they got a story,but the mens team got the whole damn paper...I guess it is just how the world is u know males dominiate as much as they can and there is no doubt that they have dominiated sports. Comming from a female athelete i wish people would have got as hype about my games as they did about the guys games...well theres my lil input.holla
