I think that becomes even more evident looking at a sport like basketball.

The US women's soccer team would run circles around the US men's soccer team. If women have the same physicality as men to go along with the talent and skill why wouldn't it make sense for them to be able to join male dominated teams? You are pretty much just saying that women are weak and have no place with the big boys.

No. I'm saying that it's a fact that women are naturally smaller than men, and when you look at professional sports it's very hard to be small and successful in your sport. By starting intergender sports not only would you diminish the already dwindling number of supporters for women's sports, as they would move on to watching what is currently "men's" sports, but you're also taking away the opportunity for thousands of females who just wouldn't be able to make it in the pros. Here's a chart of average sizes from the UK http://www.arts.ac.uk/media/arts/res...sults-Full.pdf, and if you don't think size matters in sports then you just aren't watching closely enough.

I am actually for intergender sports. It will put a stop to the silly idea that women can compete with men athletically. Nobody can complain either because it's completely egalitarian.

You know nothing about soccer.

I am convinced this is a wind up. You are not this stupid.

Yeah, I was gonna say that too. I honestly feel that way about Canada because our men are ****e and women are top 10 in the world. US, not so much.

Do you even follow the US Olympic teams at all? I don't think you do.

You're missing the point by like, a huge margin. The competition on the men's side isn't even comparable to the women's.

That might be the current case but we both don't know how well an all female team would do against an all male team.

Besides that point to your other post.
US women's team is ranked number 1 in the world while Canada is at 5 and you think Canada's women can do better than their men's team but the US women cant? GTFO

Yes because the Canadian men don't even qualify lol. The US men are more than capable players.I don't really know where else to go with this arguement, there's a reason why sports are seperate. I watch a fair bit of women's football (soccer) and I would hate to see the players either not have a job or just be forced to sit on the bench for a living.

To run circles around them they'd have to be faster than the men, and women are not faster than men. They are not as strong, not as aggressive, and are mostly inferior in any physical way that counts. It's not sexism to accept facts.
