why are women's sports so stupid? i don't understand certain aspects of women's sports. my two biggest annoyances have to do with softball and basketball, but i'm sure there are other sports where women for some reason have arbitrary differnet rules.

why can women not play baseball? why do they have to play softball? i don't get why women aren't capable of hitting a ball that's smaller than a grape fruit. to add insult to injury, now most the softballs are florescent colors. not only can they not hit a normal sized ball, they cant even see it coming if it's not the shade of highlighter. i don't see what aspect of baseball women couldn't do though or why they only get to play softball.

as far as basketball, the biggest thing is again with ball size. why do women use a smaller lighter ball. i've never known a girl who played basketball that couldn't shoot a men's ball. most girl players i knew could palm a men's so if you can palm that then what's really the need to have a smaller ball for girls. i get that typically their hands are smaller but it's not like a men's size basketball is that huge to begin with. i don't see why they can't just use the same size.

real question is why are these women running around and trying to play a man's sport when they should be in the kitchen baking the male athletes pie. stubborn.gif

I agree with the basketball argument. In regards to softball, men do play softball also. However they pitch it underhanded and slow. It's a pretty popular recreational sport in the south also. Another thing, I seen this study about how it would be harder for a professional baseball player to hit a softball thrown by a female pitcher. Reason being, despite the ball coming at a slower rate, it arrives earlier because the distance the girls pitch from is much shorter. _dry.gif Also, I read somewhere that the underhand pitch is a more natural way to throw the ball as opposed to over-handed. This is the reason why a softball pitcher can last an entire game without much fatigue as opposed to a major league pitcher.
