The accusations (whether or not they ended up being true or false) are used to illustrate a larger social problem in male-dominated athletic cultures. Hence the section delving subsequently into Messner's work. The way the piece is written, one section builds onto the next strategically, with the final section being the most important.<br /><br />Also, I was commenting on the news reported at the time of the original post (3/21/09), none of which was embellished - in fact it was cut and pasted verbatim.<br /><br />Finally, you're completely missing the point/broader picture here. Certain sports perpetuate homophobia and sexism. That's been proven in countless scholarly studies. When that issue arrises in a specific news story, it provides an opportunity to discuss this and other social problems entrenched in sports as a whole, at a broader level. That's exactly what I did here.<br /><br />You're overly fixated on the boys, not the broader issue, which quite frankly, would be extremely difficult to dispute.David Mayedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582620428467738331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840069230333061268.post-34539732369628953382009-05-20T17:25:42.708-07:002009-05-20T17:25:42.708-07:00Your entire article is written as though the boys ...Your entire article is written as though the boys are guilty of the "alledged" allegations.

The pervasive acceptance of people using words like "gay," "fag," and so forth (which you say yourself everyone does) to jokingly put each other down bolsters my point. It's politically acceptable to use verbiage that is rooted in homophobia. That's sad. It used to be politically acceptable to use racist terms as forms of insults; should we regress in that direction as well?<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, your comment concedes that a girl is in fact being bullied. Lesbian or not, her victimization is a concern.David Mayedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582620428467738331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840069230333061268.post-65416260037427659292009-03-22T16:18:00.000-07:002009-03-22T16:18:00.000-07:00they are not homophobic! everyone uses "gay" as a ...they are not homophobic! everyone uses "gay" as a slang term. I'm not condeming what the boys did, but I feel this girl is just causing drama. Corona Del Mar isn't homophobic and doesn't have issues with homosexual people. The girl being "bullied" isn't even a lesbian though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
