(The term "Four times" here refers to Team USA's two wins in the FIFA Women's World Cup and two gold medals in the Olympics. Because the Olympic tournament in women's football (soccer) is conducted between full national sides, unlike the age-restricted men's tournament, the Olympics are a de facto world championship for women's teams).

Fair use rationale for Image:Gracie poster.JPG

Image:Gracie poster.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Title IX and soccer

"Gracie takes place in New Jersey in 1978 before Title IX (which was passed in 1972) had a chance to take effect [1] and when women's soccer did not exist in the States." This is false. "The first college varsity team in the United States was established at Castleton State College in Castleton VT in the mid 1960s. Until that time college soccer consisted of intramural and phys ed class activity. Around this time, soccer also enjoyed increasing popularity in high schools..." (http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/womensoverview.html). ". In 1976, barely 10,000 girls played in high school..." (Ib.). " Between 1972 and 1978 U.S. high schools rapidly increased their female athletic participation rates (to approximately the same level as their male athletic participation rates) in order to comply with Title IX" (B. Stevenson, 2006, "Beyond the Classroom: Using Title IX to Measure the Return to High School Sports", SSRN, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=896331).

"newly passed"

"Citing the newly passed Title IX," - Six years previous is not "newly passed" in this context. Kdammers (talk) 05:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

deaf ears

"Despite the fact that her arguments fall on deaf ears, Gracie continues to demand that her interest in soccer be taken seriously." - Misleading: The hearing was split, with the chairwoman (head of the school board?) casting the deciding vote in favor of letting Gracie try out for the boy's soccer team.
