Thanks Title IX! It's a new day in sports when women can represent their countries in record numbers in the Olympics. I personally loved the Olympics ever since I was a kid because I was born the day of the closing ceremonies of the Montreal summer Olympics. I was also a big baby, go figure. That interest in the Olympics was only fostered when the games came to Los Angeles in 1984. The men's marathon ran on the Marina Freeway right by my house, so we sat on a hill and watched it live. It was so exciting.

The Olympics are starting up tomorrow, and I can't wait!

I love this, and I live it! I hope we all learn to. I say this because many times the issues we face, or the drama we incur has to do with people not knowing their own power. Not letting their light shine, or not wanting others to let their light shine. If we all knew how powerful we really are, we would encourage one another's light, not dim it.

You play like a girl. And I say thank you! Just as Cappie Pondexter demonstrates in this video, that means something different today. Of course we all know it's supposed to mean you play like a girl who isn't athletic at all, doesn't like sports, can't throw, is prissy missy, doesn't want to break a sweat or a nail. For guys, it's the ultimate insult. Calling out their manhood and skills all in the same breath. For women, those that play at least, it's still an insult, because we are girls, and some of us can really play, as demonstrated by Cappie Pondexter, Olympic Gold Medalist, WNBA Champion and current guard for the NY Liberty.

So when someone says you play like a girl, watch out which girl you say that to. You might find out, like Sebastian Telfair, of the Minnesota Timberwolves, you're struggling to guard, not a girl, but a grown *ss woman.
