In all fairness shouldnt you feel the same way about a women trying out for the nfl.
I think someone stated earlier that there have been male that were allowed to play in a female sport.
So unless you think co-ed sports of any kind is retarded to you, it seems like homeboy got a point.
I'm the first person to say men and women should be equal. Women usually agree till its an inconvenience or an unflattering handicap. Then their a women and they should have been treated w/kids gloves. And shame on you for listening to an intellectually equal female, telling you her capabilities (compared to a man)and acting accordingly.
No, in all fairness he doesnt have a point. There is a reason why we have sports divisions for different weight classes, age brackets, and in some cases handicaps. Whats next, a 15 year old competing in pee wee football? a 200 pound wrestler going up against an 80 pound wrestler? In contact physical sports there has to be competitive balance to allow others to participate.
Its just simple logic and sanity. Remember how big of a scandal it was when that 14/15 y/o kid lied about his age in order to qualify for little league? As a yr or two older, he was at a distinct advantage.
We know that women are not physical equals to men (why are you talking about intellectualism here??). Women sports is regressive competition, so as to allow women to compete against relative equals. Women are at a significant disadvantage competing against men, and can get seriously hurt. Do you have women in your life? Would you want your sister, wife, daughter, niece, competing against men in physical competition?
Male sports are the best of the best...if a woman can somehow break the genetic odds and compete against the best of the best, then she should have that chance. The fact that there havent been any professional women athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB should tell you all you need to know about the need for women athletics.
The off chance that a woman has the balls enough to try out for a male dominated league, should not prompt men to lose all common sense and begin whining about "equality", when it comes to men competing in women's leagues. Its absurd.
