I was thinking that too, eliminating any particular freak of nature outliers. From the wnba games I've seen (and I have seen several in person), it reminded me of every small ball, well-coached mid-major, but I didn't want to get that technical.

It's not that the women are less physically gifted. Some can dunk and have the speed and flash that we recognize from NBA play. It's that it's a different game. Like comparing Euro ball to the NBA or even the NBA d-league (which I love). It's a different game.

Yeah, that's what I was implying -- that I couldn't imagine a woman getting off the bench in the NBA because women belong in the kitchen. Not because of the combined size, speed, and power that NBA players need, that in my view (and in world experience, to date) les than 1% of men and 0% of women possess.

In other words, go fuck yourself.

But I actually think women should shut up and get back in the kitchen.

What? You're defensive. It was a joke, and not an attempted translation of your post.

In HS, my buddy and his friends (none were on the boys HS basketball team) were asked by the girls HS coach to scrimmage against his team.

My buddies team absolutely destroyed them. The girls couldn't get a shot off.

The girls were the Illinois state champs that year.

East Germany wasn't trying to pass women off as men, and Manny Ramirez wasn't trying to become a female. Of course, I also think allowing women into the PGA is bad for golf because it's bad for women's golf. Reducing the women's game to only those few who can compete with men (for distance, say) is net bad for women and for girls.

Yeesh. This reads like "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever," so let me say women should be allowed to compete in men's events if they wish, but acknowledge that it will unintentionally diminish the women's events to the JV of the human race, and athletics should not be so, any more than every bantamweight fighter should aspire to be a superweavyweight. Divisions exist to maximize the potential to excel.

I don't know what you're trying to say here -- you appear to be conflating a number of ideas. Some sports lend themselves a little to women and men competing together (e.g., golf (but I can't think of another -- maybe archery? curling?)), and most don't (e.g., boxing, basketball, hockey, baseball, 90% of all sports). That's a different point from determining whether someone who looks like a hermaphrodite is actually a woman or a man. The conversation is not about whether people who are clearly women should be competing alongside people who are clearly men, it's about one ambiguous-looking person.

I don't know, maybe this has to do with some of the sports issues.

My daughter used to skate down the ice leaving the boys spinning against the boards when she played hockey. But she hit a certain age where this was discouraged and so hockey was just not as much fun. She's fast and agile and fearless, and that can make up for some of the bulk. She had a good role model and teacher in my sister (who was the only girl on and captain of her college hockey team, and who certainly wiped my ass all over the rink). But about age 9 it got to be a lot less fun because of all the reaction she got from being the only girl out there. She's now retired, but when she retired she was the undisputed champ on her team.

Ah fuck, now you've gone and done it. I can't believe that you've broken the Hank code that has been pretty much adhered to as long as we've been here. You think his last 70,000 posts have been painful--now that you've gone and encouraged him, you're unleashing a maelstrom of poorly constructed, one quarter coherent, slightly creepy Hank posts. I weep for the future, and may RT have mercy on your soul, Gwinkilicious. Fuck.

At a guess -- she'd have gotten better at it. Maybe even better than 90% of the hockey-playing population.

But never good enough to play in the NHL, because she wouldn't have the combined strength, size, and speed.
