The pink merchandise–yes, the worst trend ever, unless the team is named “The Malibu Barbies”–because then it would HAVE to be pink.

Also bothered by universities making brown versions of their team apparel, unless brown happens to be one of the colors.

But on the Gentleman Blue Devils? Sorry, those words just don’t go together for me (maybe I’m biased, as a grad of the school on the correct end of Tobacco Road)

Late commenting on this, but just came across the blog entry…

The time has come to sanction schools at every level when they are in violation of Title IX. While the protection from sex discrrimination in education is on the books, it’s not consistently enforced.

The Pinkification is such a pet peeve of mine.

Also – add to the list “get rid of the GIRLS Gym”. You know, The gym that used to be the GOOD gym but is now the old shitty gym bcse the boys got a new fancy gym that cost 8 billion dollars.

I think there should never be segregation in sports at any level. You want equality? Get your ass out there and play.

Yeah. I said it.
