Can't stand this dude


He isn't as great of an athlete as he thinks. I hear teenage boys mopped the floor with that overrated women's team.

Not overrated. They won legitimately.

But, they did indeed get their asses handed to them by a boys high school team, which is no surprise to anyone who really knows athletics. It's the same in any sport. The best women's college basketball team in the nation wouldn't stand a chance against a typical high school boys team.

This is why men's sports generate far more money. A high percentage of fans want to see the best teams, not the best teams of an inferior division.

The only chance I see a woman being competitive in a pro sport is possibly golf. While women will still be at a distance disadvantage, the short game is just as important as the long game. If a woman can play from the white tees and be competitive on the PGA tour, I think most fans would be supportive of this. But in no way should rules be modified for any reason, be it gender or physical handicap.

Maybe they let the highschool team win? Sounds far fetched.

No. At best we can say the women's team wasn't playing full out.

Far fetched? It would be far fetched if they could beat a men's U17 team.
