Arrrrgggghhhhh. I have to ask, just because it's buggin' me.....
Do you mean that it's odd the women ice skaters don't want showers
or it's odd that women hockey players do want showers since the ice
(I'm assuming figure) skaters don't? Perhaps it's because although
figure skaters certainly sweat while skating, they also have a habit
of wearing rather thin, non-restricting clothing while doing so?
Come on, they get to pull their hair up and wear short skirts.
Okay, so I'm not all that well-acquainted with getting sweaty while
playing a good game of hockey, (Overheard from passersby: "What is
that girl *doing* over there with that hockey stick?"), just ask
John H. :)

Arrrgggh again.... Just a little thought to ponder - Most of you men
here on the list aren't dripping with chauvinism, in fact it seems to
be exactly the opposite. And I realize that I'm particularly sensitive
to any such overtones. But little itty bitty tiny comments like this,
that are jokes, sometimes hurt too.
Anyhow, I didn't at all *intend* to be picky here. But if I can't get
something off my chest here, where can I do it? ;) Somebody please
tell me if I should stop here or not, 'cause I've got lots more to
say about the state of college athletics, even 20 years after Title IX.
