There's something powerful knowing that a generation of girls is growing up seeing women respected in sports. There's more work to be done, but it's such a change from when I was little.
As a kid, I got into tennis partly because it was the only sport where women got [near] equal promotion with men
@LilahTovMoon 100%! It's been great to see the growth of women's soccer and basketball the past few years. The quality of play in the NCAA tournament this year has been so good, across the board, I can’t wait to see where things go from here.
@kpl Yea, the quality of play has been so good. I'm happy about that, but when UConn Huskies games are close, my emotions sometimes wish they were just dominant
@LilahTovMoon I was a fan of the Lady Vols for decades; y'all were a thorn in our side! OTOH, you let Sue Bird come out here to Seattle and play for the Storm, so you're forgiven :)
(and to tie it up in a bow, she's Megan Rapinoe's fiancée...
