There's skill involved in golf too, and I don't give a frick about that either.

Print media is a business. They're going to cover what the buying public wants to read.

This is the kind of quote that only comes from a parent, sibling, or spouse of someone involved in the gymnastics program. I am guessing a father.

Everyone knows that gymnastics takes skill, strength, and dedication in order to be a top individual and team. Reality is, no one cares. Gymnastics doesn't remotely come close to moving the sports needle except once every 4 years in the Olympics. If women's basketball can't get any traction in the media and on here, then gymnastic doesn't have a prayer.

Grats to the team for being good and winning, but don't expect much, if any, fanfare. I'm not saying it's right, but that's just how it is.

I agree with the OP! Serious talented athletes and I could care less about gender or sport, its LSU! These girls deserve more recognition!
