A Strongly Worded Letter

Dear people with money who pay to have certain sports broadcast, networks, and all other guilty parties,
Welcome to the 21st century. In the United States, women are allowed to play and even excel at most things in society - careers, family life, sports, extra curricular activities - just to name a few. So here's my question, why do you continue to broadcast and publicize with such inequality? I've heard the laundry list of reasons - men's sports attract a bigger audience, make more money, allow for more scholarships, etc. Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps if you were to start giving women's sports half the coverage you gave to men's sports, some of those aforementioned "effects" might change?

Clearly, this doesn't take a rocket scientist to dream up a few creative solutions. I, for one, am sick of women's tennis, golf, and college basketball being broadcast at non-prime hours on cable channels only. Really? Still???

Get with the program.

Love,
