Nevertheless, the growth of women’s sports has been stunning.
An 834% increase in high school sports participation…over 2.7 million girls. In 1972, only 1 in 27 girls played school sports; today 1 in 2.5.
At the university level, a 360% increase with over 146,000 women participating.
While these percentages are impressive, high school boys still have 1.1 million more participation opportunities than girls and university men have 40,000 more places and receive $150 million dollars in sport scholarships each year.
