Sex Segregation in Sports - Why Separate Is Not Equal (Hardcover)

Why isn't segregation based on sex illegal in sports just as race segregation is? This book examines the controversial issue, arguing that "separate but equal" is neither achievable nor constitutional. Will the creation of coed teams help mitigate issues of perceived sex discrimination in sports, or will equity among male and female athletes come from better enforcement of the "separate but equal" ideal? This book examines this highly charged issue, specifically challenging the effectiveness of Title IX and arguing that it be ousted in favor of sex integration. This is the first book to present both legal and social arguments for the elimination of sex segregation in sports and provide tangible solutions to address this issue. Authors Adrienne N. Milner and Jomills Henry Braddock II lay out the potential benefits of comingling male and female athletes, illustrating how this process may translate to greater sex equality in social, economic, and political contexts. In addition, this forward-thinking work offers specific recommendations for facilitating the integration of sexes in sports and discusses the importance of changing attitudes and ideology within the sports community and the general public to achieve this goal. Features both current and historical events to support the argument for sex integration in sports Examines how sex and race are social constructions and considers their connected plights Presents both legal and social arguments for the elimination of sports-related sex segregation Challenges legal, biological, and social arguments against sex integration Analyzes the legal nuances of Title IX legislation and Brown vs. Board of Education and compares the two cases
