What is young Woman To Do? Female Athletes W/Jay-Bee

A Double-Double standard is once again being exposed in College sports, but this time it's women college sports. Are they allowed to be physical, be expressive and hold nothing back. Or do we want our female athletes to dainty, finesse young ladies. Some fill that they should never want to be aggressive, tough, physical or power. Some believe that make the young female athlete look man-like. That they should be lady-like at times. Watching young female up-close as I did for 20+ years. Made see and understand there is no room for that on the field or court. I understood to be champion they had to work hard at their sport, not show weakness to either coaches, teammates or opponents. They even to this day the majority of female athlete were brought to their sport by their dad, older brother or other male in the family. At younger ages they against boys who drilled to tough and never give in. If that's the case then what do you expect those young to do if they are fighting for playing time on a majority boys team. They have to work 2x as hard and be as tough or tougher. 

The other shoe in this double-double standard is the racial component that we throw into the picture. Good gal v bad gals. The wholesome white players and the dirty black. As we have seen in this and last years NCAA women basketball tourney. Players of both races act the same way on the court, but only to have them described differently by the media  and social media. We thought we finally got rid of this crap only to rear it's ugly head in women sports. 

In a lot of way the only thing the NCAA has gotten right, is the elevation of women sports. Partly it came kicking and screaming to the party, but they have really taken care of women sports in the past 20 years. Now if only the people outside the sport would the same. Women's basketball has come a long way from tip-toe ball throwing.(people in MN will understand that on.)
