Show Pag 4 Messenger-Enterpris- Reverse mortgage offers options to seniors By Tricia Call Sports fan extraordinaire My addiction to A.M. radio sports shows gave me a sideswipe to my feminist soap box last week. Since the WNBA (womens professional basketball) began its season last week, the topic of general discussion was the appeal of the new professional league. was driving home to Springville from Manti, minding my own business, listening to a sports watching the road (pageant traffic coming head on), when Charles called. This guy had me groaning with his lunatic talk about how the NBA had done the politically correct thing in setting up the womens league. I couldnt believe it when he described these business men g to the pressures of the feminist movement that womens basketball players couldnt run, couldn't I shoot, etc. etc. Well, jerks like this usually dont catch my attention or get dander their stupidity and is apparmy up ent the minute they open their mouths. But w hat had me taking a ss Safety Field Day to be held July 15 was the fact that he has a young daughter w ho loves to play soccer. What kind of a chance does this little girl have with a daddy who ridicules the efforts of women athletes athletes who deserve the recognition and admiration for their accomplishments every bit as much as women who participate in the more traditional women's sports like gymnastics and track. A message to the Charles types; please check your biases at the delivery room door children deserve to have parents who put no limits or biases on achievement. Boundaries are important to keep the youngster alive and parents sane; but when it comes to reaching goals, its a whole lot easier w ith good role models of both genders who said, I w ill not let small minds or limits stop me from being excellent. By the way, take some time to check out the WNBA as well as the local womens basketball at Manti High School and Snow College. These women are smart, talented, and can w ipe the court w ith many of their male counterparts. Womens professional basketball sold out at the Delta Center its first two nights; the game is different, but still very fast paced and exciting to watch. Take the kids both boys and girls can benefit from seeing that athletic skill and achievement is not limited to one gender. double-tak- e A team Nolan Kjar, No. Ted Turner, defeated singles, 5-- 0. 1 8-- 4; Shawn Kjar, No. 2 defeated Jessie Nelson Mark Johnson, No. 3, beat Jimmy Winterton Mike 8-- 3; 8-- 2; It's that time of year again!
