21. sports reject discrimination - which results in unequal participation
and this is a good thing. it is correct that sports reject discrimination (except discrimination based on TALENT).

and we see GROSSLY disparate participation by different demographics.

for those that think that disparate participation in an institution necessarily equals discriminatory treatment, sports at least suggests that this is not the case.

i think that's excellent.
