Revisiting Title IX's feminist legacy
Focus on three respects in which the law's existing conception of discrimination fails to reach far enough to ensure girls and women equality in sports. Brake examines the continuing decline of women in coaching jobs and its impact on female athleticism: the too-ready acceptance of cuts in men's opportunities as a remedy to discrimination against women: the role of cost-based justifications in preserving the status quo sports establishment and its resistance to the kinds of restructuring that would enable further expansion of women's sports to coexist with the retention of men's sports.
