Mitten State controversy just won't quit

Remember that whole ruckus over getting the Michigan girls' high school volleyball season switched from winter to fall? In addition to switching girls volleyball and basketball, the MHSAA also decided to switch girls and boys tennis from fall and spring, respectively, to spring and fall. And no one is happy.

Accoring to an article in The Ile Camera newspaper, opponents to the switch argue "that girls would be more adversely affected by the colder, windy climate of spring than boys."

WOW. W-O-W. Did I really just read that and then cut-and-paste it into this post? Is it the 1950s? Do they also want to make June Cleaver 101 a requirement for these frail girls, too?

"Girls are more vulnerable to the weather, with fall being more attractive."

Yes, plus the damp spring weather does horrible things to a young woman's hair. Isn't there a perfectly good knitting club they could join? Instead of all that inappropriate sweating?

I imagine Billie Jean King is rolling over in her...well, her bed, wherever she lives. She must swell with pride knowing that people in Michigan are against girls tennis in the spring because the girls are too dainty.

You see where this is going, don't you? Tons and tons of individual lawsuits fighting the moving of specific sports.
