As many of you may or may not know, Title IX is a law that basically makes sure that they are equal amounts of sport opportunities for females as there are males. When the amounts are unequal, schools either add more female teams, or cut what they decide are "low value" mens teams such as wrestling, swimming, and gymnastics.
This is the case with the University of Massachusetts, known as UMass. UMass has cut the male gymnastics team just this year and has no intent of bringing the program back. However, the men still train as if there is a team, hoping their dedication to the sport will change the minds of those who cut their team.
Their dedication might be enough to reinstate their team, but I feel they could use a little help. That's why I've started a petition down below. It's just four simple questions, it'll take about 2 minutes of your time. When I've gathered enough signatures, I will send them all to the board and hope that it will make a difference.
Please take the time and sign the petition and then take the time to tell all your friends about it. These boys have a dream, and we might be able to do something about it being destroyed.
Thanks for your time!
