Title IX rules abandon sex quotas in athletics

The Bush administration announced yesterday that colleges and universities no longer must prove "substantially proportionate" participation of men and women in sports programs as the main way to comply with the federal Title IX sex-discrimination ban.

The ruling bowed to wishes of many college presidents, coaches and athletic groups who asked the administration to move away from quotas governing intercollegiate sports.

Its common sense. Why should men be prevented from forming sports teams cause there's a lack of female interest in a particular sport? Title IX created a twilight zone situation in which male athletes were denied their dreams so the feminazis could force men and women into the same ideological mold.

We'll know this is actually working when some of the men's programs that have been cut are restored.

The UCLA diving team was ended because of this stoopid quota law. Bring that program back for the Olympic medals they won in the sixties.
