No surprise, the Women's Sports Foundation (with a recently redesigned website) has a response to the NYTimes article by Sokolove.

From the article: "Advocates for women’s sports have had to keep a laser focus on one thing: making sure they have equal access to high-school and college sports. It’s hard to fight for equal rights while also broadcasting alarm about injuries that might suggest women are too delicate to play certain games or to play them at a high level of intensity."

Research conducted by The Women’s Sports Foundation and others clearly shows that girls involved in physical activities have a reduced risk of obesity, diabetes, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem and, later in life, heart disease, and osteoporosis and breast cancer. Several hundred readers have posted reactionary comments on the piece. Read the full article and join the conversation below.
