Women in pro sports, opinions! Options

[CrimsonArchangel]

This is coming from someone that is an avid sports fan and believes in equality (in certain aspects).

I know there are pro women's sport teams like soccer and basketball. But what about football? Baseball? I know women that play as well or better than the guys. There is also the movie "A League of their Own". That was real. Women did play pro baseball back then. Why can't they now?

And, one more thing. Do you think if that ever gets done, should they be gender separated or coed teams?

What do you think, girls and guys?

and some coaches have a contract to keep, and they think that if they had a woman the team, the men wouldn't be as focused, they would lose their games, lose air time, lose money, and lose his job

making a new league is difficult, the womens soccer had to close because not enough people were going to their games or even watching on tv, often spectators believe that the men's game would be more enjoyable then watching girls play a game.

people don't see how women could get down and dirty and play a hard game.

That's yet another problem.

Why must society be so darn sexist? Women can show their worth if they were only allowed too.

Ok, women may not be as big as men, but then can still play. Have you ever been tackled by a fit woman? (I have, and as fit as I am, which is very, it was not a pretty thing).

Society needs to give women a chance to show that they can be as good or better than guys in many things.
