Women's (Sporty) History Month
So ESPN jumped on the Women's History Month bandwagon. But I have to say I learned a few things.
Did you know that girls used to play six-on-six basketball, which had different rules than the game we know today? They played this version because a full court, five-on-five game was considered "too aggressive... inappropriate and too physically demanding" for girls. Unbelievable that some small towns played this unequal game until the 1990s!
