Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day! #NGWSD

The goal of …Because I Played Sports is to bring a voice to women’s sports online. As former athletes, we promise to do what we can to bring as much as we can to achieve gender equality in editorial coverage of contemporary female athletics. We’re here to vocalize what many sports editors are ignorantly missing… females.

Today, I’m celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day by actually playing. I’ve got a rec game scheduled for tonight at 7pm, and play with a community of women who live in NYC and have played competitive basketball at some point in their lives (most in college). It’s a lot of fun, and typically involves quite a bit of drinking afterward. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate!
Also, here are some great ways to celebrate… also make sure you check back to WomenTalkSports.com for a flurry of blog posts from our network today.
