What's Golden Gloves beef with not including women?

They don't need to since there is a Women's GG. D

[boxmel]

Sure - I LOVE GG. D Went to two men's national tournaments (1988 & 89) and never worked another GG, men's or women's.

I was speaking specifically about Women's Golden Gloves.

Mel is anti GG. She wouldn't go to Mens, womens or the juniors. There is not much need for computer techs anyway as they use the clickers. I have never been to the Women's GG, but I have been to the Men's NGG and the Nat'l Jr. GG and they are great tournaments. I have heard from others that the Women's GG is a very good tournament.

Who were the others who said that?

[Dennis]

Coaches and women who have gone. I rarely hear any negatives about it.

[boxmel]

GG will never combine the men's and the women's tournaments. Just like Silver Gloves won't let the girls compete at the nationals. Call their leadership MCPs. D

Why wouldn't women want to have their own separate National Tournament?

Why wouldn't women want to have their own separate National Tournament?

Because it's on the far side of the country and they all have to pay their own way to get there; and it's so poorly organized they let a pro kickboxer and a novice register for the tournament? So much for Title IX.
