I can't remember my dad or my husband ever dragging women's sports. I'm glad I have the family I do, because I was rather happily oblivious to the contempt toward women's sports when I was growing up, and I may never have participated if I'd known it was as frowned upon in society as I've since learned it is.
Heck I can't remember my husband ever watching sports, lol, except UFC (which I got him into, contrary to stereotypes). He likes fitness, but finds team sports to be extremely boring; he's more the sci fi, D&D sort of dude. When dudes at his work go on about the KC Chiefs (we live in western MO), he tunes it out.
My dad, meanwhile, has always been an enthusiast, not a complainer. He coached some of my girls bball teams and watched the Comets when the WNBA came out. I stopped growing as a teen and decided I had a much better shot with academics than sports, but it was fun while it lasted.
Anyway, I'm glad I have a son rather than a daughter. It will be much easier for him to be into sports if he chooses, both biologically and socially.
