[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3272851, member: 16969"] Honestly, I've always wondered at how stadiums full of mostly white men who pay $100s per ticket to watch mostly black football players get injured without regular pay or employment rights [I]per se[/I] doesn't draw more criticism on that count than it actually does. Long habituation, I suppose. If you stop and think about it, the optics are kind of ... antebellum. As far as gender discrimination goes, I'm already on record on this point: I think reclassifying athletes as student employees should be done in a way that moves football and basketball out of Title IX jurisdiction if possible. I'm fine with off-setting the cost of paying the players who actually generate the revenue by cutting the sports that no one wants to watch or pay for. That's bad news for scholarship women's sports, but I think it's fair. If people want volleyball, they can pay for volleyball. [To paraphrase Patrick Henry] If this is discriminatory, make of it what you will. [/QUOTE]
