Impendulo ku-Patch yami yangaphambilini mayelana nokungalingani kokukhangisa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana eFairfield Ludlowe High School ibilokhu ingikhanyisela. Ngemva kokuthola amakhulu emiyalezo eqondile nge-Twitter, Facebook kanye ne-Instagram evela kulo lonke elaseConnecticut nase-US, ngithole ukuthi i-FLHS ayiyona yodwa enenani elincane lemidiya yezokuxhumana eyenziwe yi-Athletic Department yabadlali besifazane. Le nkinga ingokoqobo. Isabalele. Ukungafani kuthinta ikhono labadlali bamantombazane besikole samabanga aphezulu lokuzizwa behlukile emphakathini wabo wesikole samabanga aphezulu. Kodwa ukungafani akugcini ekukhangiseni.
Umsubathi wesifazane ovela eqenjini le-lacrosse enyakatho ye-NY uveze iphuzu engangingakaze ngicabange ngalo ngaphambili. Ungibhalele ukuthi "amaqembu amantombazane ahlala ethola isikhathi sokuqala emidlalweni yangoLwesihlanu ebusuku uma abafana bedlala enkundleni efanayo ekhaya. Kunzima kubazali bami ukulivuma ngo-5 ntambama ngoba bayasebenza. Amaqembu abafana ahlala ethola isikhathi sokugcina futhi adlala ngaphansi kwezibani." Uphinde waphawula ukuthi abalandeli babafundi bakhetha isikhathi sokugcina, ngakho bavame ukufika bezobona umdlalo wabafana ngesikhathi sokugcina komdlalo wamantombazane.
Kanye nokukhangisa, ingxenye yesihloko se-Title IX se-"Treatment" yisikhathi somdlalo. Kusukela ku-NCAA.org, "Isihloko IX sidinga ukuphathwa ngokulinganayo kwabafundi-abadlali besifazane nabesilisa ezimisweni zokuhlela imidlalo..." Esikhundleni sokugxila esikoleni samabanga aphezulu sendodakazi yami, ngazibuza ukuthi ukuhlela imidlalo ngokobulili kwakuyinkinga yini eNgqungqutheleni Yezemidlalo Ye-Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic (FCIAC), ngakho ngabheka omunye umdlalo odumile ozayo onesizini yabafana namantombazane ngesikhathi esisodwa - i-basketball.
Imidlalo yebhasikidi enezikhathi ngemuva kuka-6:45 ntambama inabazali abaningi abasebenza abakwaziyo ukuba khona kanye nabalandeli abaningi babafundi. Kule sizini ezayo, imidlalo yabafana engu-25 ngaphambi kuka-6:45 ntambama uma kuqhathaniswa namaqembu amantombazane angu-112. Idatha iqoqwe nge-FCIAC.net futhi inembile kusukela ngo-2 ntambama, ngoNovemba 18, 2019.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwakukhona izikole ezintathu (iFairfield Ludlowe, iFairfield Warde kanye neWesthill) ezazinikeza ibhola lomnqakiswano labafana namantombazane ngosuku olufanayo endaweni efanayo, ngokungafani ne-double header. Ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, akukho nelilodwa iqembu lebhola lomnqakiswano lamantombazane elalidlala ngesikhathi se-prime. Umdlalo webhola lomnqakiswano wamantombazane wawufana nowokuzilungiselela umdlalo wabafana njengoba kuboniswe ngezansi.
FLHS12/27/19 vs Staples Girls 2pm, Abafana 6pm 2/13/20 vs Westhill Girls 5:15pm, Abafana 7pm FWHS2/3/20 vs FLHS Girls 5:15, Abafana 6:45pm Westhill 1/18/20 vs Stamford Girls 12pm, Abafana 3:30pm
Nakuba ukuqhathanisa umdlalo owodwa kungesona isivivinyo sangempela sokungalandeli imigomo ye-Title IX, kusobala ukuthi iningi lamaqembu ebhola lomnqakiswano e-FCIAC abafana banesimiso esingcono kakhulu sokuba khona kwabazali nabalandeli. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isikhathi sokuqala singenza umsebenzi wesikole ube nzima kakhulu ukuwuqedela kubasubathi futhi kwenza kube lula kubafundi bamantombazane-abasubathi ukukholelwa ukuthi imidlalo yabo ayibalulekile kangako, noma ngabe lokho akuyona inhloso.
Ngo-2009, kwaba necala eliphathelene nokwehluka kokuhlela i-basketball yabafana namantombazane e-Indiana. Owayengumqeqeshi we-basketball yamantombazane waletha icala egameni lendodakazi yakhe eyayidlala eqenjini. Umqeqeshi u-Amber Parker wathi iqembu le-basketball labafana lathola ukuhlela umdlalo we-prime time kanti iqembu lamantombazane alitholanga. Ngenkathi ekuqaleni lachithwa yiNkantolo Yesifunda yase-US yaseNingizimu Indiana, iNkantolo Yezikhalazo Yesifunda yesi-7 yase-US yalibuyisela emuva. "Imidlalo engeyona eye-primetime iholela ekulahlekelweni kwezilaleli, ukungqubuzana nomsebenzi wesikole, kanye nemizwa yokungazethembi," kubhala iJaji uJohn D. Tinder kulesi sinqumo. Ekugcineni icala laxazululwa ngohlelo lokuqinisekisa ukuthi amashejuli eqembu ayalingana kubo bobabili ubulili.
Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ukuhlanganisa izikhungo kanye nawo wonke amaqembu kuwumsebenzi onzima kakhulu kunoma yimuphi uMnyango Wezemidlalo. Kodwa-ke, ngisola ukuthi amaqembu angamalungu e-FCIAC, futhi mhlawumbe ne-FCIAC uqobo, angenza okwengeziwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abasubathi besifazane banemidlalo eminingi yebhasikidi (ibhola, i-lacrosse, uhlu luyaqhubeka) ngesikhathi somdlalo we-prime. Futhi ngenkathi bekwenza lokho, banikeza ukusakazwa okufanayo kuwo wonke amaqembu abo bobabili ubulili.
