Oh, the Horror!!

We hear about gals kicking field goals and extra points for the foosball teams. No problem, right? Girls diving against the boys is fine with us, right?

Massachusetts high schools with girls' swim teams - but not boys' teams - are allowing the guys to swim in the girls' meets. Read all about it here.

Sarah Hooper, a senior at Needham High who is the fourth-fastest female entrant, finds the situation difficult to swallow.

“It’s really frustrating to see how athletic directors and school administrators aren’t doing anything,” she said. “They really aren’t advocating for us. I understand there isn’t an opportunity for these boys, but it infuriates me that they can’t combine two schools’ boys to create one team or have them compete in separate heats. The way it is now, the boys are taking recognition away from girls who have worked hard and deserve it.”

"I understand there isn't an opportunity for these boys..."

Yes, folks, it's all about opportunities.

I'd rather see these guys find a way to compete against other guys. It will be interesting to see how the M.I.A.A. finds a way out of this mess.

While we're on the subject of opportunities, don't forget what nutty Title IX activists are doing to opportunities for the guys.

Using proportionality to take D-I swimming opportunities away from males is wrong, but the Quota Crowd continues to push for the destruction of our sport.

Back to the Massachusetts girls' state swimming champs. Yes, the guys competed.

Results:

Division I

(Longhorn Nick D's little sister took the i.m. and breast titles)

Thanks for the heads up, SS & BG!
