Female Athletes
I was speaking to my girlfriend this past weekend and she said a few of the girls on her field hockey team at Geneseo State were scarred this past weekend due to ridicule from sororities at their school. From what she told me, the sorority called a bunch of the girls on the team "dykes" and "fat bitches", and the girls who these comments were aimed towards felt terrible. My girlfriend claims field hockey and most other female athletes receive many negative comments about their "lack of feminine qualities". I was always aware of the fact that female athletes received more negative comments than males but I thought that would all be gone with once college started. It's a shame things like that still have to happen.

What do you think about female athletes? When we have our speakers in on women and sports, you should totally bring up this experience!
