you rockin into the night come on out and meet some friends sideline comment if females think they are getting a big break with this proposed coed sports amendment they are wrong ontarios plan to allow females the right to play along side males in amateur sports is a wet bandaid attempt to deter attention from the real problem financial athletic apartheid most corporate bucks are funnelled to male amateur sports teams and even the provincial government has admitted its guilt by promising to increase spending to improve the competitiveness of female leagues the governments first priority then should be to ex amine the serious draught of athletic funding to female organizations the very imparity that forces females to go knocking on male dressing room doors this socalled landmark change to the ontario human rights code which by the way will not become law until approved by the legislature this fall wrongly targets in tegration as the real goal for women in sport granted integration for prepuberty youngsters seems viable enough and may infact help to dispel stereotypical attitudes that children learn at home and carry with them into the workforce however physical differences in post- puberty youths make integration a rather dangerous aspiration i cant emphasize enough that equal opportunity funding for female sports programs to bring them up to par with that enjoyed by males is the key i played hockey for seven years and the word discri mination if it crept into the dressing room at all was synonymous wih inferior funding facilities and status afforded female competition if the coach of an mthl hockey team tells a girl to look elsewhere for athletic employment before womens lob by groups scream chauvenistic murder they should ask the simple question why does little susan or big susan not have equal parallel opportunities to play on allfemale teams the answer lies in the tall corporate towcrstn downtown toronto and queens park women arc still a
