I think it needs to be said, this is not about women's sports as a whole. My point was only about girl's basketball. Girl's basketball plays at the same time as Boy's basketball. That inherently has an either/or quality to this discussion. I can tell you that a similar discussion comes up when discussing softball or baseball. No one seems to find that discussion offensive. The Softball/Baseball debate is usually about time it takes to play the games. And in many cases we are playing side by side the softball field and who gets finished is often a topic of discussion.
It just goes to show that people will be offended by anything.
