There may be days when there is no female face in the photos, but those days are rare! And even rarer is the absence of any reporting about women's sports.
Don’t know about the NY TIMES. But the STRIB list scores/results everyday for every sport that reports. Tennis counts. And given recent editions of the STRIB, so does lacrosse, cycling, track, golf, softball, basketball, ice skating, swimming, hockey, and soccer.

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? Cheers all! - Deborah in Linden Hills REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
