Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 does indeed aim to eliminate gender discrimination in educational programs and activities, including athletics. In the context of your question, Title IX most likely helps eliminate biased etiquette.
Biased etiquette refers to the expectations and behaviors that can unfairly favor one gender over another, often leading to discrimination or inequitable treatment. By enforcing Title IX, schools are required to provide equal opportunities and support for all athletes regardless of gender, thereby reducing the reinforcement of biased etiquette that may have traditionally favored male athletes over female athletes.
Sportsmanship, on the other hand, pertains to ethical behavior and fair play in sports, which is not directly targeted by Title IX. However, an increase in equitable treatment may lead to improved sportsmanship overall, as all athletes would have equal opportunities to participate and excel in their sports.
