Title nine was a very important part of sports history. Without it today women would not really have any rights in the sports world. It said that no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any programs or activity receiving federal financial assistance.—From the preamble to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972". Without this today there wouldnt be half of the women sporting events that you see today. Seeing Danicka Patrick racing in a men event would not be possible today. There wouldnt be a womens tennis legue. Basically nothing women would not be allowed to participate in any extra cirricular activities. I choose to do this because first off my beloved teacher Ms. Harms gave me a hard time. Also because its an important part of history that i just learned about it. I didnt even know about it until today.
