I found it interesting that the controversy surrounding radio jock Don Imus's racially charged comments toward the Rutgers Women's Basketball team last April received more coverage than the entire NCAA Women's Tournament that the Rutgers women were apart of.  By the way the women's tournament was fantastic, it gets better every year, the Tennessee Vols beat Rutgers to capture the National Championship. Now don't get me wrong I'm not making light of the of Don Imus situation because it was a very serious one and hopefully with him getting fired over it will make other radio personalities check their arrogance and ignorance at the door before they hit the airwaves. But I can't get over the fact that in the year 2007 women's sports overall continues to hit the back pages of most sports section around the nation.

Now with Basketball being the most popular of all women's sports and still growing, softball is a close second; you would think the exposure and appreciation from journalist would be more. This needs to change immediately because women basketball players play a better overall game than their male counterparts. They are better fundamentally and their 'on the field' discipline is so respected that if you were recommending a team to a young person wanting to learn more about how to play basketball you would be better served to point them in the direction of a women's college game or the WNBA.  Let's give it up to the ladies who aren't as athletic as the men but make up for it with great court awareness and intelligence not to mention an overall passion for the game which seems to be missing all together from men sports today
