Yes, the Spartan men's basketball team is off to a fantastic start. That's not what this is about. I just read an article on AOL, in which a male pro bowler got beat by a female pro bowler. The article, written by a David Whitely, says the answer as to why she beat him is easy-bowling is not a sport, so there's no shame in being a chump who lost to a girl. Geez, is this attitude still around? If he'd lost to another guy, no one would care. If she got beat by another guy or a woman, no one would care. But because he lost in sport (and I'm fairly certain bowlers consider it a sport) that values skill and technique over sheer strength and size, it's not a sport. Also, does this mean that every guy who loses to a girl is a chump? And does this only apply to sports like basketball and hockey? And I guess if you're a guy who lost to a better player, who happens to be a girl, you're a loser and a chump, eh? Most women do not have the upper body strength of most guys. Most women do not have the natural muscles that most guys have. So, if you're a woman playing a sport that uses only skill and not muscle, than you clearly aren't playing a real sport.

Jeez, Mr. Whitely-your attitude towards men who lose to women is about as old-fashioned as you can get. Really? In this day and age? And does it apply only to sports or other things as well? I just want to make sure, so when I beat a guy in ANYTHING, I can call him a loser and a chump for getting beat by a girl. Oh, I'm sorry-I wouldn't do that because I'd like to think the better player won, no matter the gender-and I try not to call people names.
