OK - so it's not exactly about hockey. The list has been quiet, and I think
this could spark some interesting conversations..........
excerpt: << "LONDON (Reuters) - Wimbledon organizers on Thursday brushed
aside demands from top women players for
prize money equality with the men, insisting
that paying the men's singles champion $73,900 more than the
women was ``fair.'' >>

Simply proving their stupidity! Sometimes one wants to kick and scream and

No one suggests paying male models the same as female models. Oprah Winfrey
gets paid much more than Montel or Jerry. Sexuality aside, should everyone
get paid the same, regardless of how much revenue they bring in? BTW, I see
a time in the near future when female tennis players will earn more than
their male counterparts, largely due to excellent marketing. If and when
this happens, should the men demand equal pay?

That is kind of a good news/bad news decision. I remember all those
amateur games, sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my nails as the cold
war took place on the ice. We could always scoff at the 'amateur' status
of the USSR players who all came from the Red Army. It doesn't do much for
men's hockey (or the integrity of foreign hotel rooms) to have all the NHL
players taking over the Canadian team. On the other hand, the extra money
couldn't go to a more deserving cause.

Hey, that's a Murrican problem. Remember the '98 Olympics?

Goalie looks forward to being a model citizen in the off-season
By Beverley Smith
Toronto -- Sami Jo Small is a Winter Olympian. As a goalie for the world
champion women's hockey team, she's hung up her gear for the year.
But all the same, Small will be working feverishly on May 6 to help female
Summer Olympians get to Sydney at a conference called Future is Female.
"I really do believe you have to help other athletes realize the dreams
you've found," Small said yesterday. "An athlete is an athlete."
Small will join Olympic swimming silver medalist Marianne Limpert, and
national synchronized swimmers Jessica Chase and Catharine Garceau at the
SilverCity theatre at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre to talk about their
experiences in sport and life.
The event also has a Mother's Day theme to it. Small and her mother, Pat,
will be there. Limpert and her father will, too. Mothers (or fathers) and
daughters can buy tickets ranging from $40 to $50 to join the crew for a
9:30 a.m. breakfast, inspirational chats and a fashion show. The athletes
and their parents get to model Fairweathers' clothes.
"I'm excited about it, too, because being a bigger woman, I think that
people don't see that you can still look good," Small said. "It doesn't
matter if you wear size 16. As a big girl, I can show that it's okay."
But most of all, Small and friends want to show that there are female role
models for young girls.
"Girls need to meet other girls that are interested in sport and see that
it's okay, that athletics are a route that women can take," Small said.
She is gratified at the sight of four- and five-year-old girls now playing
hockey and "they don't know that girls aren't supposed to play hockey."
Small grew up with the attitude that she was doing something she shouldn't.
"I wanted to prove them wrong," she said. "But these little girls are just
playing hockey because they love it."
A portion of the money raised from the event will go toward female athletes
trying to get to the Sydney Olympics. All amateur athletes struggle, but
sometimes it's more difficult for women playing team sports who cannot find
sponsors, Small said.
"You have 20 people going out and trying to individualize themselves for the
market," Small said, thinking of the women's hockey that made its debut at
the Olympics in 1998. Now the Canadian women's water polo team is in the
same boat.
"They're ranked No. 1 in the world, yet nobody knows who they are," Small
said. "There are 10 girls on the team, yet they're a team, not 10
individuals."
Now that the Canadian women's hockey team has a higher profile because of
the Olympics, Small has noticed that notoriety has created an unusual image
for the team. "Now we have little kids coming up to us saying: 'You must be
billionaires.' How do you explain to a kid that you're struggling to get
by?"
