Before this law, female athletes were few and far between, and funding was even scarcer. Erin Buzuvis and Kristine Newhall explore the significance and complexity of Title IX.

In america, not many people follow equality laws. For example, a lot of 'whites' still discriminated a lot of 'blacks', even though racism was banned. I think law doesn't make everything equal. the girls have to fight for themselves.
