I realize it is the point of the view of the author, but I honestly never thought there were so many lesbians in women sports leagues.  I just never associated the two.  Sure, I've heard other people associate women sports stars and lesbianism, but I never took them seriously.  Wow, that's interesting.--Justin Mattos

I too was surprised to learn about how many women in sports were actually lesbians in this article.  I had never heard anything ever reported on it.  I did know that women fought hard to get recognition like the men did in their sorts.  I remember watching a show on the women's US soccer team and how they fought for better pay like the male US soccer team as well as how Mia Hamm (sp?) was the one who helped them get that recoginition by doing the Pert shampoo commercials.  Even when I think about it today, how many womens sports are actually on TV, I can think of plenty of male sports, like football, baseball, basketball, but women the only one or two I can think of is golf, and I think basketball, I could be wrong on that one though.--Michelle M.

This did not surprise me at all, I know of many female athletes that are lesbians.  It was something that growing up with a sister in sports that my family really started to hear of all the lesbians out there. -- Kellye Sorber

I was also not surprised by this article. I think the reason most people are shocked by this information is because women sports are not covered to the same extent that men's sports are. Professional male athletes are idolized and hero-worshiped so when they are homosexual it becomes a really big deal. Professional female athletes however are no where near as popular so their sexuality is not as big a factor. - Christine W.

In the introduction to this article it talked about how mens' sports receive 92% of all TV coverage and 81% of all newspaper coverage. The tone of the article seemed to suggest that this was in some way unfair, or that it was somehow based in sexism. Really, I think this has nothing to do with sexism. Male sports just sell better, from my experience they are more exciting to watch, and they obviously draw a larger audience of both male and female viewers alike. So I think that this is based more in business sense than it is in sexism. -- Landon Davis
