Title IX lawyer needed: Is sex discirimination (against males) going on at NCAAs?

People can bounce and head home after the real meet is over.

Rojo: tireless crusader of justice for the oppressed!

Not too sound too snarky, because I mean this to be a serious question.

Does such a thing really exist? A Title IX lawyer that would be the least bit interested in a men's sports cause.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how male athletes are being harmed by competing on Wed./Fri. two years in a row.

Yes of course it exists. Men, fathers, and masculinity are under assault in this country and the radical man-hating third-wave feminists have taken over. You're right that most lawyers wouldn't be interested.

Hilarious that Rojo's first thought is to get a lawyer involved. Why not try to communicate with those in charge of the scheduling first?

Pretty sure I remember Rojo complaining about "frivolous" law suits in the past.

Why can't you spell words correctly?

Men should be under assault. They've been oppressing and keeping women down for years. And still do with their GOP and NRA bullies!

Thank God for Hillary putting a stop it the male patriarchy!

You're kidding, right? This is why letsrun will never be taken as a serious place for running news or discussion. Not sure why this needed to be a thread at all, you're just grasping at straws to have something to gripe about. The only time you guys seem to make a contribution to discussion is when the topic is about women or transsexuals.

My first thought wasn't to get a lawyer involved. My first thought was to write a clever headline to get you to care about reading this.

I just want an expert opinion, not to sue, just to be informed.

It is usually the TV tail that wags the T&F dog. ESPN has scheduled the men's final for prime time on Friday night. The Friday time slot is always worth much more to sponsors than the Saturday night time slot. Most people come home from work on Friday and plop down in front of the TV. But on Saturday, rating nose dive as most people are out and about doing whatever they do on the weekend. It looks like ESPN probably wants the men's final for the prime Friday night slot instead of the women. So, there may actually be a title IX issue with the men getting the better national publicity with the prime Friday night TV spot and the women getting less publicity with the less prominent Saturday spot. Kind of like what Hillary did to Bernie by scheduling debates on Saturday night.

1) No I'm not kidding. I'm all for women's sports. When I got out of college, I was very proud to work in professional women's tennis. I was irate when the WNBA ended up taking out the ABL as I thought the ABL truly cared about women's basketball. The WNBA was just a bunch of rich men trying to make sure that the ABL didn't hurt them financially.

That being said, I don't like hypocrisy. If men were relegated to the inferior days every year, you can bet your last dollar we'd be hearing about it. I just want an explanation for it. Maybe there is a good reason. I hope one of our men on the ground in Eugene find out.

2) You've already lost out on the 2nd part of your statement.

"It won't be taken as a serious place for running news or discussion?" It's pretty much the only place for running news or dicussion.

Hopefully there will be women in the stands supporting women's sports on Saturday. That (women supporting with their money and time women's sports) is usually very minimal. Yet women are in the audience of male sports in droves. You tell me why that is?

ARE the men being relegated to the inferior days?

Obviously he meant WOMEN.

No, he is complaining that the men are again on the inferior days.

I would say its more likely that the source was carelessness on updating the manual for this year. No one bothers to check to make sure the days are right when it goes to print, and you add in the fact that quite a few of the people in charge seem to overly wedded to the letter of the law instead of the spirit, and all of a sudden you're stuck with the same exact schedule two years in a row. I seem to recall a similar thing happening in cross country - they had always flipped men's and women's starting first every year, but now for two years in a row it's been the same. I don't know if that's intentional, or just a matter of not proofreading properly.

Also leads to things like a Big 10s, when the manual says 9 shall advance to finals when the track only has eight lanes. Likely what happened was that one year it was a nine-lane track, and then the next year they didn't bother to change it to reflect that they were now on an eight lane track, and too hide-bound to say "a mistake was made, everyone knows the intention is one athlete per lane, we're only taking eight to finals."

As usual, PR with the quality post. Why does Rojo think W/F are inferior days to Th/Sa?

Give it a rest? No. Why don't you tell me to go back to the kitchen. Your male privilege is finally at an end! I hope you understand that it's finally women who will run the world and fix all the problems, violence, and racism toxic masculinity has created.
