No idea why some people choose to find the sport itself so threatening.
...the sport itself is not threatening, it’s the gender/equity crowd that’s attempting to make it the national sport...soccer is the perfect wet dream for these harpies, in that with a few rule tweaks (girls getting within twenty yards of the net counts as a goal, for instance,) girls and boys could play the game against each other without the boys clobbering them by some outlandish margin, as in all other games...
...it’s also the perfect game for the ‘let’s not keep score’ ninnies...nobody scores anyhow, no need to even change the rules...
...as far as the game itself goes, the purpose of it appears to be to approach a ball at the center of a field, proceed to kick it out of bounds as quickly as possible, retrieve it, throw it back into play and proceed to immediately kick it out of bounds again...but I’m sure I’m missing something...

This is kind of a fun thread for soccer/football fans to bash each other, so I am not taking anything here seriously. But the idea that women can play soccer as well as men is just not true. The best female team in the world would lose to the worst men’s national team by 30 goals.
Its the same reason that females should not be doing front line combat, sure many can lift a gun and fire as fast and accurate as a man. But a woman simply cannot run around for dozens of miles the way a man can. They do not have the stamina. Soccer is a sport with 45 minutes at a time of more or less continuous running, a female team will never be able to compete against a male team doing that.
