The Media who cover the US Basketball Teams are JERKS!!!
I swear, every news site I go to has a photo of the men winnning the bronze, and way down in their coverage is a sidebar about how the women won the gold! NBC didn't even fucking telelvise the game--they showed rhythm gymnastisc instead!

Fuck that! They played great, they played gutsy, and the fucking sexist bias in sports is denying them the recognition they deserve!

2. The thing is, this past year the ratings for the NCAA Women's Tourney
were up quite a bit. There are a lot of fans out there--the media, as usual, is taking its time catching up to the public.

5. I complained to the local newspaper
about the NCAA women's coverage.

I find it all very aggravating.

3. Why am not surprised? Was the soccer game televised? What would the
gold count be for TEAM USA without the women?
