Not fair and not true! You would have to go back some years now to find a STRIB sports section that literally fits your description. The STRIB has done a remarkable job of substantially increasing its coverage of women's sports.
Ah, myth and reality! My favorite! ;^)
There is no question that the Strib, PP and others are doing a better job of it.
But, I promise you, if the Gopher women's basketball team is no longer playing, women ain't showing. I can, several days a week, page front to back in the sports section---jeepers, what a glutton for punishment I am!--and find nary a female face in the photographs, and hardly any mention of women in the score listings.
Unless its tennis.
And the New York Times? I don't punish myself anymore. I skip it.
Oh by the way, what's this news I hear that Title IX is now restrained by the Bush Administration? Was that a social echo I hear?
