I have more of a problem with a man playing a women's game as its really unfair to women.

Ya got me- all girls who play or played sports are gay. Oh and we hate men too rant rant rant.

It's simply a nice commercial saying you don't have to be male to be an athlete. I think y'all are reading too much into it but do your thing.

Apparently the NCAA forgets that T9 was enacted 27 years ago.

I turned 37 last week, title 9 predates me.

Then it's just a waste of money. Women have had every right to play sports for over a decade. No one's threatening that right. What's the point?

Women's leagues are set up so women can play and have fun without being dominated by male athletes. Am I missing something here?

I really don't know- drum up interest in women college athletics? I just don't see it as controversial or outright offensive as some of you do. It's just a commercial. God forbid it's about women athletes, please show me lebron in the office chair again!!!

I think it's more fatigue with any kind of "feminist" movement in general nowadays. If that's really all it's for, then it's really kind of a headscratcher. Why not invest that money into scholarships or facilities rather than make a commercial with no point? I think that's most people's issue.

I totally get that- I just thought it was more of an upbeat positive 'you go girl' type of thing (nothing to do with man vs woman) but maybe I am misguided.

Could very well have been. Like the old "I can do anything you can do better." commercial with Mia Hamm was awesome. This commercial literally said "We don't need a commercial to tell you how strong we are."


Ok...so...what is this for then?

Because of government mandate, and taking $$$ generated by one gender's sports to provide welfare for the other gender's sports.

Tile IX is going to have a huge headache when they legally define all 762 genders.

Watching the women's softball games, I've seen several female umps who could play on most school's offensive line.
