The college community needs to get off its high horse and deal with these things. We're just flat wrong to not let these kids give it a whirl. As long as the message being sent out loud and clear is that you must win, win, win, a coach tries to take a shortcut. I don't blame the coach. There is no place for discrimination in sports.
Discrimination goes against the very grain of what competition is all about.
In sports, we encourage and reward only on performance. In our history, sports have been the great equalizer, crossing all artificial social and class distinctions and barriers. You have people who insist that the only possible reason that we would have more male athletes than female athletes is discrimination. In major sports, the colleges have gotten into an arms race.
