NCAA Supports Fan Diversity, Sort Of
With the NCAA Women’s Final Four basketball tournament unfolding this past weekend as the top lesbian party destination of the year next to Dinah Shore Weekend, the Tampa Tribune ran a story about the lesbian fan phenomenon last Friday on their website.
After the story ran, the NCAA released this essentially-homophobic-yet-trying-not-to-be statement:
“To say any NCAA championship appeals to a certain percentage of a particular segment of the population, especially without any scientific backing, is without merit. The truth is each tournament appeals to a core group of fans but that core is as diverse as the American population itself.”
“From our perspective, this weekend is about basketball, not about social issues,” said NCAA spokesperson Chuck Wynne in a Tampa Tribune follow-up story. “The arena will be sold out with a diverse crowd, most of whom are there because they love the game or follow a certain team.”
Basketball, schmasketball! About a thousand lesbians will be lining up at The Underground tonight (April 7th) for Wolfe’s 12th Annual Women’s Final Four Party. Now that’s what we call scientific backing!
