There is a difference between no one and no one you know. I have two sons and no daughters. My family and I go to Boston Breakers multiple games a season and I am not the only guy there without a direct girl soccer connection.

If you are uninterested your loss. To me that makes you uninteresting.

Average Breakers attendance 2500. Average Revolution 15,000. How far do you drive for the games? Are you driving an hour and a half like Revs fans or is this an easy local event?

Is it me or should the numbers add up to 100%?

There must be a separate category for trsnsgenders that would account for the rest. ;)

What Athletic Departments don't want' to talk about is the extraordinary costs of running a Football program. They, I would imagine, be be more than happy to talk about the paltry sum required to run a Women' soccer program.

Also women have been outperforming men academically for years with the exception of STEM fields. Even there the gender gap in Math SAT scores has been narrowing. Universities don't have to bend over backwards for women as they get better grades on average than men. If anything efforts are being made to help boys better succeed in school at all levels (kindergarten up).

Yes, efforts have been made and are ongoing to help boys. Write a few more scripts and the problem is solved.

Don't bring football or other programs into the discussion. That is a seperate issue.

In many parts of America, the educational environment for young children has been slanted towards girls. Meanwhile, our advancement of future mothers to be through higher education, and the continued drive for " equality " staus for women vs men, the children of America keep falling behind the children of other industrialized nations.

In large part because we have this annoying habit of looking externally for our system models instead of realizing that we do some things uniquely superior to the rest of world and spending on energies maximizing those characteristics. When you set someone else as the benchmark it doesn't matter whether you are number 2 or number 100, you are still a follower.
