Well, maybe there are still some women around who do nothing all day but sip tea and do needlework but I sort of doubt it.vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437538169497425364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-65868842718003533212018-08-22T19:15:49.284-04:002018-08-22T19:15:49.284-04:00And, if it is a sport that involves a men's te...And, if it is a sport that involves a men's team and a women's team, then designate every time not just an adjective for the women's team. It is men's basketball and women's basketball, men's tennis and women's tennis, etc. not basketball and women's basketball.vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437538169497425364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-41161813997351141672018-08-22T11:11:59.229-04:002018-08-22T11:11:59.229-04:00Love it and I've been telling people for years...Love it and I've been telling people for years that I AM NOT in favor of LADY in front of any team's name. I hope this catches fire and the term is discontinued. Women is acceptable and, at schools where appropriate...just say the Lacrosse, or Volleyball or Field Hockey squad (if their isn't a men's version on campus).

It points out a lot of intricacies of the use of the word and how more teams are (rightly) shifting to the use of the word "Women's" instead. It specifically talks about professional soccer, but in my opinion it further hammers home the notion that we should leave "Lady Cards" behind for good.<br /><br />https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/2018/8/21/17764156/everton-ladies-name-change-women-manchester-united-liverpool-arsenal-sexist-titleCase Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335869124809666508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-77855799653352828752018-08-22T08:17:59.825-04:002018-08-22T08:17:59.825-04:00What a nice honor for Whitsett!

I'll be on campus today gathering interviews from Coach Justine Sowry, Ayeisha and Jeff Walz. If I see Whiitsett, I'll tell her "Jared says hey!" <br /><br />PaulieCardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.com
