Welcome back from break!
We don't have a current event scheduled for today, so I thought I'd throw you a goofy one:
As a recent New York Times article discusses, "a growing chorus of complaints from fans and some athletes has pushed the Women’s Tennis Association to crack down on what it calls excessive grunting. At a meeting last weekend in Key Biscayne, Fla., the WTA’s board said it planned to tackle loud grunting, shrieking and yelling."
What do you think about the trend of grunting and shrieking in women's tennis? and does it seem to you that fan reactions have anything to do with gender? Do women grunt more than men do while playing tennis, or does it just bother people more when women do? Tennis fans (and players), I hope you'll weigh in.
Also, in honor of Adrienne Rich, who passed away over spring break, we'll read one of her poems, "Diving Into the Wreck," together.
