SHOULD SPORTS BE CO-ED OR GENDER SEGREGATED?
Passed in 1972, Title IX guaranteed that no person in the United States could be, on the basis of gender, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance (Brake & Grossman, 2013). Sports, whether at the grade school or collegiate level, fall under this category, thus protecting male and female players alike. Title IX was a groundbreaking amendment which resulted in undeniable effects.
Title IX, however, does not do justice to the matter of equality in the world of sports. The answer to equality in the world of sports is banishing the age old tradition of segregating sports based solely upon gender.
