interesting article

http://www.womenssportslink.com/IncreasedSportsOpportunitiesForWomen.shtml

i read this article and found it very uplifting and comforted that women are finally getting the opportunity to have a decent job. it's also i feel great timing considering tues in lect we talked about affirmative action and if a woman is qualified for a job; she should get it because she now has the opportunity to fight for that position, and not just get it because she's got some 'legal' edge over someone else. financing is always an important issue because in the digitial ethnography video we saw at the beginning of the semester and also over a debate in class; we mentioned that female sports teams and overall get maybe percentages of what male sports make. NBA players often make millions if not at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, but WNBA doesn't have that. I understand that college sports are far from professional levels, but the funding for many male sports (football/basketball) is often and obviously a lot more than female sports and it just seems so unfair that not many people go to female games but to male games. women might not be able to dunk but are just as good as males in games.
