Equality in sport - 11-26-03

Segregation in sport should end. We should stop pretending that women running races slower than men is as entertaining.

Why should inferior women tennis players and golfers earn millions when there are male players who are better than them but earning dramatically less.

If women want to earn money and compete at the Olympics they should compete against men and earn their victories.

Let's give women the equality they have long fought for and scrap women's sport.

I cant wait till they come up with a intergender boxing federation.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

I'd kick any man's ass. Bring it ON!
I doubt women get paid more than men in sports. Just look at what male foorballers get paid.

but women athletes, tennis players, golfers etc get paid even though if they competed against men they'd get their arses kicked and earn fuck all.

equality is the call.

Well, until i actually see men and women golfers, tennis players compete i can't really say. I know i'm not going to cry over it. lol. Would like to see men and women compete in some sports. Dunno about athletes, men are at an advantage of strength and stamina. Women aren't built for that shit.

So why should female sports 'people' have their events (and earnings) protected by not competing against men.

there should be no segregation

equality now!

Considering that most men think women are crap at sports, why would they want to compete?

Personally, I think that woman's tennis is far more entertaining than men's tennis...and I'll even still say that with Anna Kournakova gone. I think the pacing is better and I've seen many better games on the women's side.

You must be retarded. What you're suggesting isn't equality. That people should only earn money because on the genetics that they inherit, not based on the level of skill they have in relation to their inherited traits, has nothing to do with fairness. What you're suggesting is basically as stupid as saying, "Okay, I think all the light-weight boxing champions shouldn't be paid unless they can knock out the heavy-weight champions". Even better, "I don't think the champion Peewee Rugby team should get their trophy until they play a game against an adult Rugby team".


In short; please don't disguise your chauvenistic insecurities as a desire for fairness ever again.

To go into even more detail....


A sport, any sport, is defined more by the limitations and challenges placed on the athletes and competitors than by their maximum acchievement. This is blatantly obvious by looking at the competitions. You can go faster running straight than jumping over hurdles. So why do hurdles? You can throw farther with a small rock than a hammer. So why the hammer throw? You can swim a lot faster with free style than with butterfly. So why swim butterfly? The answer is because the interesting thing about sports isn't just seeing how fast someone can run and how hard they can hit, but how far people can go in the face of limitations. The average man punches much harder and faster, and has wider reach, than the average woman. No one who knew what they were talking about would dispute this. It's also true that the average Muay Thai fighter would drop the average Western boxer in a fight in about five seconds. That's because the boxer is trained in a sport that has rules and limitations that don't actually help you in a real fight. But do we, because of this, say that boxing is a joke and a stupid sport, because it's less effective in a no-holds barred fight than Muay Thai? No. Because boxing is a seperate sport, and within that field the boxer is quite skilled. Likewise, a champion free style swimmer will outpace a champion butterfly swimmer every single time, but we don't call the latter an obsolete joke, because the swimmer is clearly skilled within the limitations and rules of his or her field. Likewise with male and female . Men are generally better at most sports, simply due to their genetics. To attempt to disprove this would be pointless. It's more interesting to see which women have the skill, drive, and willpower to succeed against others on their own level, than to try and see how many handful of women out of a thousand can hold their own in a inter-gender wrestling championship.

If that is the best response you can formulate then why bother?

Hmmmm. Excellent excuse for you to ignore the other 442 words I typed, which adressed the issue YOU brought up in far greater detail than your mind could ever accomplish.


Not that I believe you, of course. I'm going to assume you did, in fact, read all, or almost all of my posts, realized I was calling your idiotic bluff by actually adressing the issue at it's fundamental level, then paniced as you discovered that you had absolutely no counter-argument, because you only created this topic as an attempt to troll a flame war and get your trendily un-PC kicks off of offending people.

If that's true then you're giving him all the gratification he was looking for.
