Contention

While Senate Resolutions such as SR276 typically do not engage in political dispute, the overarching themes of recognition and support for women's sports can be points of contention in a broader social context. Issues may arise regarding the funding and support for women's sports programs compared to their male counterparts. However, the resolution’s focus on Alyssa's individual recognition tends to unify rather than divide public sentiment.
