Females in Male sports!

[imagoober]

Women always say that there just as good as men in sports and that men need to allow them to compete with them! Well sometimes they get to and this happens! yesterday was the LA marathon, the first person to cross the finish line gets $100,000.00, and for the first time ever a women won(her time 2:25:10) and got the money, BUT the men ran the race in 2:08:40 and you say ok then how did she win right? well they gave the women a 16 min head start, is that fair. no, you want to compete with us then compete againts us as equals, that is want women want right? to prove women are just as athletic as men. well how was that fair? To show that woman couldnt hang in a male dominated sport i bring this up. This morning on espn there was a big deal and it was even on the top10, a women in the womens NCAA basketball tournament slam dunked! it was the first time in that tournaments history! men hav done this you ages. and if it was a guy it would be nothing special so to me that show that women should stick to there own leagues and worry about competing against other women and not try to invade ours, if a man tryed to join a softball team girls around the world would go crazy! so what the problem Women?

should we lower the rim for you, give you head starts, or a handicap(golf)! why cant you accept our rules and compete as we do or accept that in some sports the gender divide shouldnt be breached! buy the was i have nothing but respect for women i just dont understand a womens view point on this subject. opinions please!

[insanity]

I agree. If a women wants to compete with a man, then she should do it on an equal playing field. I'm all for women competing with men, but it should be fair. Also, ask any feminist if she should be drafted, and the answer is no. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for women's lib, but I want total equality (shared responsibility, shared rewards).

[imagoober]

yep, another point for equailty is that in the case of getting a divorce, the women almost always keep the kids why cant the father be a responsible parent and have custody! instead they make him pay child support after he gives her half of his money(in most cases). doesnt sound fair to me! opportunities should be totally equal for both genders

I think this is what we get for not having to carry around a human being inside of us.

[imagoober]

well thats impossible so not a good arguement! with out us they wouldnt be having them and just cause there the mother it doesnt make them a responsible parent! a father can love his child just as much as the mother and deserves the same chance to raise his child as she does!

I agree. Its like women playing rugby. You cant cross the line with that game, cos a bloke would probably kill a woman playing. Im serious, actually kill her.

[Kryzco]

thats bs, and it isn't fair at all

equality doesn't mean adding handicaps!!!!!!

[Genuine17]

i think they should stay in the kitchen?

how many men does it take to open a beer......




























Zero, it should already be open when SHE brings it.

[Kryzco]

wait she ran it at 2:25:10 and he ran it at 2:08:40 she got a 16 minute head start wouldn't the guy have won because there is a 17 minutes differece between the times or am i just retarded

[higher4hockey]

goober~ i didnt mean it that way. what i meant is, we get lucky cause we don't have to deal with that shit. so as karmas way of biting us for that, they get sixteen minute head starts. The custody thing though, is utter and complete bullshit!!

[HiddenBeauty]

I agree it should be equal if women want to compete with men in sports.The only reason I think women usually get custody is because the maternal bond is generally stronger than the paternal bond.

id like to see a woman playing NFL with the males , imagine a girl as a center or running back lol

might be good as a wide reciever at best@!!

[Genuine17]

yeah, for some reason i dont think a 300 pound NFL player would full out tackle a 140 pound girl and if they did she would probably have a back pain the rest of her life

[highjinx]

Boxing??? lol

[C4nn4Bliss]

a back pain??? more like a broken back


someone wanna elaborate on why womens sports arent as popular?

[Genuine17]

you know c4nn4bliss that is a good question why do us men watch a bunch of other sweaty men run around
why not watch a bunch of women run around all sweaty tossing a ball in tight white clothes?
:confused:

wait she ran it at 2:25:10 and he ran it at 2:08:40 she got a 16 minute head start wouldn't the guy have won because there is a 17 minutes differece between the times or am i just retarded
yes my bad i relized the mistake later in the day after i though about it myself! i was using what i heard on the news as a reference for the head start i just check the rules and start times on the LA marathon web site(where i got the runners times) and its a 20 min head start!

horse shit.
you want to be treated fairly, but if you have a chance to win $100,000 with a handicap, you could give two shits about equality?
