women in professional sports is mad crucial to girls. not just for girls who play sports but any girls surrounded by a world telling them they have to be pretty and quiet and polite in order to have value. seeing women getting gritty and sweaty and working hard and fighting with every bone in their body to work as a team with other women and gaining international success from those non-feminized strengths. seeing women who are great because they are human and work hard. seeing women working together. seeing women on opposing teams still treating each other with respect. man, women in sports is so crucial.
