*whispers* the reason women’s sports doesn’t draw as much as men is because everyone is taught that girls are sub-par human beings from the time they’re born so maybe instead of saying no one likes women’s sports, ask yourself how to change the way society values women & girls

The Big Ten said there was no indisputable evidence, meaning the accounts of a victim of a repeated racial slur and the referee who assessed a penalty for it on the spot were not sufficient evidence. Do you realize how messed up that is? The message it sends? Truly disgusting.
