About a week ago, I read a compelling NYT article on the San Diego Charger L.T.'s familial history. I eagerly took to some blog search engines hoping to find some discussion of the it. Instead, all I got were links back to the original article.
At the time, I wondered what the point of blogging is if, when confronting America's legacy of slavery & the familial traces of it for the current N.F.L. MVP, the best bloggers can do is to redirect traffic back to the New York Times.
Well...
Today, the NYT have an article about a controversial Title IX decision that impacts New York state cheerleaders. Essentially, the decision requires that girl sports be supported by school resources - including cheerleaders - as much as boy sports are.
I did a search for discussion on the article & turned up two terrific blog entries.
For those of you who can't stand a two-page NYT article, Ann Bartow, Associate Professor of Law at U of South Carolina, offers a summation of & some commentary on it.
Zach, of Molten Boron, speculates about some of the motives & inequalities that underlie the reaction of schools, athletes, & cheerleaders to the decision and its subsequent implementation.
Brilliant work, people.
