Softball needs to be brought back to the Olympics. WHY? It is part of American past time and women all over have stepped up to the plate to prove "we" got it too. Equality is a big issue and being ignored. There is more exposure to thanks to ESPN and college games on TV plus now high school's on limited circuit. But why limited? The community wants, or those who want to watch, can tune in. Why are people still afraid of women in sports? Women can be athletes as well. Wake up America. It's been a long slow road for women in sports, because of attitude, but times are and have been changing. I heard the Olympic board wants to bring in "pole dancing" to the Olympics, REALLY? Pressure needs to be put on the right people, for the right reason: softball needs to be brought to the Olympic because women are athletes too!!
