This has me thinking though...

Generally, things like this make the national news. I remember when Manon Rheaume played in an exhibition game for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the early 90s. Now, I'm not saying that Dan Rather telling the story is the end-all-be-all...but, given that this sort of thing has occurred in other sports and in other situations (e.g. women being accepted into the Citadel and VMI), maybe it's not really a big deal anymore.
