Although I'm not trying to belittle her claim of rape, I still have to question the motives behind women who try to break into male dominated sports and want to play on men's teams. When a woman wants to compete in all male sports like football or wrestling, they are entering a highly physical world drenched with testrostrone. The physical contact inherent in either football or wrestling is a 'loaded gun'. Around here, a lot of controversy was generated when a girl tried to join the boy's high school wrestling team, and succeeded. The combination of close physical contact and teenage hormones is just asking for trouble. Most of the competing boys forfeited their matches, rather than get into the awkward situation of wrestling with a girl.
I used to be a manager of an industry that was exclusively male except for my secretary. When we were forced to accept a woman applicant 25 years ago, all hell broke loose. The particular women in this situation wanted the same 'rights' as the men, but didn't want to do the physical work, since she wasn't 'strong enough'. Even worse, the men's wives went on the warpath, because they were upset their husbands were working with a woman. They didn't want their hubbies spending the midnight shift with a woman....their imaginations went ballistic. We ended up with the female employee filing sexual harassment charges against virtually every male employee.
Anyway, as a result, I've not been the most supportive person when it comes to women breaking into male dominated fields. I feel the same way when it comes to sports, and I'm definitely NOT a supporter of Title IX. Yeah, I know my viewpoints are from the old school, but I can't condemn the Colorado coach.
