			<description><![CDATA[As for coaches, I agree we have to be competitive to attract talent. I laud Caravelli's output and frankly think he's also undervalued. But the resources available to coach, develop as coaches and develop those players has to be equitable.That is the matter of respect. You wear the colors, we are behind you to represent them the best they can be represented. We support each other.. it's simple to me and not just when its convenient Also, I mentioned the 60%-40% split in college women to men.. that gap is growing. Rugby needs to cash in on their share of that market, the big leagues already did it. Revenue is an interest. You can look to increase your "rugby share" of their wallet's sustainably. (MBA Marketing/Finance hat off) Not to mention there will be "free money" from the IRB to develop the women's game. Never leave free money at the table..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's only pushing agendas when you don't agree right? I checked you on what i knew to be incorrect, don't get your knickers in a bunch now, they were your "declarations" and you called yourself trying to be glib with it...lol The discussion is about people getting an equitable (I never said equal) share from something they pay into just like everyone else and a organization that expects us to grow sport for everyone (USOC, and IRB)and it's not equitable. People are just ASSUMING it is. The varsity program # is relevant DISCUSSION as no one debated it. There are a good percentage more women in college than men, the split is about 60%-40% on average give or take, and that gap continues to widen on the women's side. Numbers game right?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Finally, a medal is not a medal. As much as I hope the women bring home the gold, a medal in the men's game is far more prestigious. The final point is sexist but it is also the truth. It is the truth for most make dominated team sports. Everyone likes it when the US women's ice hockey or basketball team brings home the goal but when the men win it is a huge deal. Fair or not, it's the way of the world. The primary reason I would say is that men just like sports more on average. Any woman is certainly capable of being just as rabid a sports fan as any man but on the whole sporting culture is certainly dominated by men.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Should women's rugby get a fair share of funding? Yes. Is a fair share an equal share? No. A couple of key points are that far less women play rugby than men. Twice as many men are playing in the US. Men have a bigger budget because men have a bigger base. The men's game also attracts more sponsorship money. Men's tournaments are televised; a jersey ad on TV sells a lot more product than one worn by a woman that no one sees. Second, it costs a lot more to compete in men's rugby. There are more tournaments, the competition is better and talent costs more. The market value of high quality men's rugby is far higher than women's.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Fact checking's good, but omiting points show's you're here for agenda pusshing not discussion. Good point on the national dues being equal...my impression was based on my exp with my local area union. Taking a closer look it seems that differences if the exist do so at the LAU/GU/State level. Dif. metnyrfu.org/Union-Info/union-dues.html texasrugbyunion .com/information/dues-procedures/ Not dif. ncrfu.org/ncrfu-news/duesarenowpayab leforthe2012season pnrfu.com/pacific-northwest-pacific-coast-usa-rugby-dues/ Also, from a quick search tourney's go both ways as well with the bigger ones having the same fees, an smaller ones breaking it up. So it seems that at the national and territorial level things are equal (aside from the varisty bit) huh...wait...what was this arguement about? Yes - men getting more? Care to reply to the # of varsity programs or coaching comment?? Or shall we ignore them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[USA Rugby 2011-2012 Dues Structure Club Registration: $150.00 Individual Senior Registration: $45.00 Individual Collegiate Registration: $40.00 Individual High School Registration: $30.00 Individual Youth Registration: $20.00 Individual Rookie Rugby Registration: $5 See any distinction by gender? Just fact checking you... Ive signed checks for quite a few tournaments to take 7's and 15's teams too, the fees for the most part have been the same at least the one's Ive coached at..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, that year alone, my union made up about 9 or 10 of the 23 travelling slots. We all got it. Her and folks selected didn't you think that was the only time that ever happens? That incident is apparently more isolated than this one? is what you are saying? lol These "couple of" examples has been a recurring theme at various levels for years for them. They pay the same dues we do, the same advocacy, service and support should be available. The issue is no one should benefit at the expense of anyone else right? Or is that only limited to gender here? or were those "couple" of examples repeated over and over not at those "women's" expense? If folks are going to make the argument, lets be consistent with it. We as men are supposed to be the logical ones I thought....]]></description>
