The tournament is down to the final four, but I am not really following it anymore. My team, the University of Oklahoma, lost over the weekend to North Carolina. But last night, my sister informed me that the Sooners are actually in the Final Four: the women's basketball team, that is. Why didn't I know this before last night? And why did I still not care? I wish that women's sports were more payed attention to, especially because I am a woman, but unfortunately they are not. The media has conditioned us to not care as much about women in sports. I like the Sooners, but does that just mean the men's basketball team and football? I don't know why I don't really care about women's basketball, but now I will try to care more. They made it to the Final Four! So I should be really excited, right? Hopefully I will remember to care more next year.
