Sports Column
Gary Nuhn / Dayton Daily
News
Gary
Nuhn often swims against the tide in his Daily
News sports column, and was doing so when he wrote about what
he called "The Executioner."
"The Executioner
is a 27-year-old piece of legislation called Title IX that was meant
to guarantee equal opportunity for females," he wrote.
"Across the country, men's wrestling, swimming, golf, tennis, hockey
and gymnastics programs have been massacred in the name of Title IX."

"Gary Nuhn tells
it like it is," said Dwayne Bray, sports editor of the Daily News.
"Dayton readers
like him that way. He doesn't beat around the bush, doesn't sugarcoat
his opinions. He gets more reaction than any other writer we have."
A Geneva, N.Y., native, Nuhn later moved to Ohio and graduated from
Ohio State with a degree in journalism. He was the Daily News' golf
and University of Dayton basketball writer before being named a sports
columnist in 1987.
Nuhn has two children, Nicole and Mikal.
His frank column-writing style strikes a chord with Daily News readers.
"I can't say how many people out in the community will say to me,
'I envy the fact that you're able to get off your chest everything
you need to,' " Nuhn said.
"Most people
just sit in their houses and see something they don't like and don't
know how to do anything about it."
