My gut feeling is we should do this . . . and I like to win. I think (if softball were readmitted) it would be a win for the IOC too.

cute girl sports
Martina Navratilova is not a 'girl,' nor is Debi Thomas or Katarina Witt, and the women skaters weren't 'cute' in 1988. The problem with describing women as girls is that they never grow up and therefore can't take positions of authority in the world of sport. But the good news is that you can change language, so ultimately you can change the picture of women in sports.
