Happy birthday, Title IX

I spent much of the day at The League - a Los Angeles adult women's basketball league - watching some of my kids, and other players I know, play ball. A fitting way to spend my time on Title IX's 40th anniversary.

Happy anniversary to all female athletes. I hope you're as grateful as I am.

  1. Mother Jones has some great charts showing what's changed—-and what hasn't—-since Title IX's passage in 1972.
