Chico, all the evidence anyone needs is to read your posts.

I really am dumb, because I should have learned that it doesn't make any sense to argue with you. It doesn't make your argument right...it does mean you have more endurance than any of us, me included.

If you go back and read this thread its funny how something benign yet interesting turned cancerous so quickly.

I love a good debate.....but I do not like your language or the intent behind your language. Whether this subject or some other one.....you are OCD to a point that is sick.

Keep rolling dude, I'm done wit ya.

>>[Big Daddy] Not a bad idea......but how do you divvy it up? On what basis would a young Mia Hamm get a scholarship over a young Cheryl Miller? Or more importantly, when would a young soccer player get a scholarship over a 3rd string offensive linemen.<<

The reason I raised it is that trying to take major sports (e.g., football) out of the equation takes us farther away from this ideal goal versus what Title IX is trying to do which is to allow females proportional participation.

I honestly would love to see men's and women's soccer get 25 fully-funded scholarships. I don't like the fact that the NCAA limits men's scholarships specifically to a sport. At the same time, if there's going to be a fully-funded 85 scholarships for football, then I want to see Title IX implemented as intended, i.e., that males and females have proportional representation as a percentage of their representation as undergraduates. This doesn't mean you can't have 25 (or more!) scholarships in men's soccer -- it just means the university has to make some tough decisions as to what additional women's programs will be funded to meet the Title IX requirements.

Or cut football scholarships.

Big Daddy: Thanks for the time you spent on this thread. While I continue not to understand the logic behind your position, you have demonstrated that you believe passionately in it.

P.S. At some point in the future, you'll have to explain to me that telling me I suffer from a psychological affliction is okay but stating that specific ideas and concepts are misogynist is somehow wrong!

Big Daddy: I have absolutely no problem cutting football scholarships -- and I played college football!

Then again, I wasn't very good at it!

And who is the best player in the state again? I just want to wish everyone that keeps this forum so interesting a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

enzo is my pick but for u15 i would have to say ben puetter and not joey demore due to him being over rated, the u18 girls premier team has a really good forward, im not sure about her name i think its Kira.

Big Daddy: You beat me to it! I logged on specifically so I could apologize for anything you took to be insulting. I honestly didn't mean it to be so, but realize it's the perception that matters and not the intent. There's no need to apologize to me -- saying I have OCD is probably one of the nicest things anyone has said to me in a long time!

Again, I apologize for anything said that was insulting to you. Have a great Christmas!

All—

I hate that this did become a negative exchange—I hope we can see that, I believe, most of us are arguing that there are some negative assumptions about females still within our society—I have no desire to accuse anyone of being purposefully biased against women—In fact, I assume that most of us on this board like/love young people equally—And believe sports might be a way to do good for young people.

I guess I am naive—I never thought anyone was being rude or accusatory—but I will take my dose of blame for nudging this discussion of best player into gender equity!—Sorry. . .

Happy Holidays to all the parents, fans, and coaches who try diligently to do what is best for our young athletes!
