@LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbtThere'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.
@LilahTovMoon@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... 
) (to be a fly on the wall when THOSE two tie the knot!)
@kpl @LilahTovMoon I literally just read a sister of my friend is GM for women's basketball team in NZ and they just hiked players' pay caps to above that of men's current caps!
@LilahTovMoon is great to see. In Aus the women's world cup was huge, and women's cricket is getting a much bigger scoop of attention too.

Hey, wanna come to Cleveland to see the final four game, during the eclipse, with the foreign film festival amd a bunch of other shit going on the same day? Toooootes won't be miserable to get around downtown during! 
Seriously though, this is really cool and I truly hope the trend continues. I'm wearing a Wolfpack hat because I have one, but I'm rooting for her. 
Women's soccer has also become quite popular here in Germany (as far as I know in most of Europe).
A massive difference compared to about twenty years ago.
I really think we're moving into the right direction.
