I think that Kit did not deserve to get the winning hit and score. I am not sure if it was a genuine mistake but I don't think that Dottie meant for it to happen. I feel like Kit was constantly complaining and blaming everyone else for things that were effecting her. It was said that the Peaches lost just so that Kit could win for the other team.
They were discriminated in many ways. They were forced to wear skirts just so that more Boys would come to games and watch them for eye candy. Also people didn't believe that girls could play baseball so they just figured maybe something entertaining could come out of it. Mr. Harvey even was going to close the league just because the boys would be coming back to play.
My favorite part was when Jim Dugan took revenge on the little kid right outside of the Dugout. I thought that part was funny.

Gender
I do not think that women have equality in sports because in most people's minds, Men sports are more intense and more thrilling to watch. Men hit each other harder and play more physically so in theory people are more intrigued to watch those sports. Women do have more publicity in some sports but overall they do not have equality in sports.
After the Best Race of His Life, a Horse's Death

Summary:
The steeplechase horse Arcadius, a thoroughbred won a race including three miles and eighteen hurdles. Two minutes after the Jockey unequipped the horse, it died. Steps from the finish line where he seemed to have so much life. He passed away right there and it was definitely a sad sight to see.
Significance:
This Horse that passed away recently worked so hard to achieve this goal. I think that they worked the horse a little too hard even to the point of death. It shows that if you push someone or something too hard, they might just give out. It shows that you should work hard but you don't have to kill yourself trying.
Question:
How will the Owner of the Horse deal with this?
Alternate Heading:
Horse Dies After Intense Win

Miracle Questions
It was such a big deal that they beat the Soviets because the Soviets were the best team in the world and they lost to the Soviets two weeks prior. It was also important that they beat the Soviets to move on in the Olympics. In order to show that they were a good enough team, they needed to keep or and even beat the best in the world.
Herb Brooks was such a good coach because he was extremely serious about all parts of the game. He knew what he wanted to accomplish and never went easy on his athletes. He is also a good coach because he was part of that family. He had connections with the players and other coaches that were so important for the teams success as a family.
I liked the fact that all the players were determined to win and all of the action that occurred during the games that they played made the movie very fun to watch.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/07/sports/hockey/for-rangers-a-tight-hard-hitting-series-is-nothing-new.html?ref=todayspaper#

Summary:
The Rangers are not surprised that series against the Capitals is tied. This is how the playoffs are and momentum swings. Washington is proving to be a very tough competitor for the Rangers and it will definitely be a challenge for them during the up and coming games.
Significance:
This is very significant in the fact that it proves that you do not need to be the top seed to win it all. Washington is seeded 7th compared to the Rangers 1st seed and they are tied with a 2-2 split. The Capitals can definitely win this if they put their minds to it. In the end, seeds really don't mean a lot in the competition aspect.
Question:
Will the Rangers end of losing the series?
Alternate Heading:
Stronger Seeds are Not Always the Best Bloomers.

Uninvited, Phillies Fans Still March In
NYTimes
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/07/sports/baseball/nationals-fail-to-halt-invasion-of-phillies-fans.html?ref=todayspaper
5/7/2012
Summary:
In August of 2011, the Nationals played the Phillies in the series and it was crazy how many of the fans were supporters of the Phillies. About 80% were Phillies fans and the chief operating officer Andrew Feffer decided to roll out the unwelcome mat. They decided to begin a Take Back the Park campaign in an effort to bring Nationals fans in a keep Phillies fans out. Phillies fans took this as a challenge.
Significance: This is extremely important because it shows how even the fans are part of the team in the fact that they support the team greatly and that people do care about the fans. Phillies fans are paying customers so their noisy presence is usually tolerated but Feffer thought it was too much. It is important to have most of your own fans at the home games.
Quesiton:
How far will Feffer go with this campaign?
Alternate Heading:
Phillies Fans Invade Washington

Race in Sports
There is really no racial division amongst sports. Many sports are really based off of talent. In some situations, black athletes are better than whites but then again sometimes whites are better than blacks. It is the same thing with all other types of race. It is really more of an individual thing nowadays and talent is really what people look for. I couldn't really name a sport where one race dominates the scene.
