I agree completely (although I cringed at the glasses personally). The girls on my team work very hard to try and achieve the same respect as the guys. What's funny is that Championships lands the same weekend as our Jr/Sr prom and the girls are all saying, "I don't care about prom, if we make it to Championships I'll wear my prom dress to Atlanta!" and all the guys are saying, "My girlfriend is already mad at me just thinking about the possibility of us making it to Atlanta!"...what does that tell you?
