Before Title IX, there were only 32,000 women competing at the intercollegiate level; now there are 150,000+ competing women. Even with title ix, despite advances, there is still gender discrimination that limits sporting opportunities for women at the intercollegiate level. The playing field is far from level for them. For example, although women in Division I colleges are 53 percent of the student body, they receive only 41 percent of the opportunities to play sports, 36 percent of overall athletic operating budgets, and 32 percent of the dollars spent to recruit new athlete.
Have male athletes lost programs? Absolutely. But they had a disproportionate amount of the programs and money to begin with. Interestingly, a positive reality for male sports is title ix has broadened male sports programs pulling some money away from an expensive male program and applying that money into 2 or 3 new other sports male programs. Also, intercollegiate intramural male participation has been on the steady rise for decades meaning there are other organized sports programs filling in the gaps for male athletes on a college campus. Is title ix perfect? Arguably not, but it is extremely important in its efforts to try to make sure the “less than” of our society hurry up and get to the same productivity as a white male if we want to harness the power of All our people and stay ahead of the rising world superpowers at our heels.

Assuming it was sarcastic, as a reminder for those that do not read basic statistics, female athletes fair far better in school vs non athletes by “not a little, by A Lot” as a percentage and group within a student body population. If the primary purpose of education is to make higher productive output (employees/employers), incentivizing females to play sports is a NO Brainer for society’s money well focused. Read this USA Today article exploring 45 years of title ix and benefits to society.

From our beloved CDC:
Drinking too much can harm your health. Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years.
Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to the development of chronic diseases and other serious problems including:
High blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and digestive problems. Cancer*of the breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, and colon. Weakening of the immune system, increasing the chances of getting sick. Learning and memory problems, including dementia and poor school performance. Mental health problems, including depression and anxiety. Social problems, including lost productivity, family problems, and unemployment.
And, in some cases, posting dumb stuff with no proof on anonymous message boards.
Should I also post the warnings about marijuana use, sedentary lifestyle and depression which have at worst been encouraged or at least been avoided recently?
