Evidently they now have men’s, women’s, and co-ed ladders.
How could they allow a woman to play on the men’s ladder, and not allow men to play on the women’s ladder? All this one-sided insistence on affirmative action is killing genuine equality.
Or, what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Her civil rights aren’t being violated. She has nothing to lose by not being able to play men. Why is she suing let along suing for money?
Watch. She’s the kind of bitch that will shut down the whole league if she doesn’t get her way.
Sometimes I am amazed at the “logoc” that is used to justify cowardice. If you are in a league play the people in the bracket otherwise take move along move along
It is very exasperating to read about women that do not know their place.
In coed softball leagues, they usually have a minimum number of women on the field at a time. If they didn't, the guys would have a couple of females that sat on the bench and maybe got in when a game was out of hand. There have been several attempts to get women into professional sports, either as a hockey goalie or in basketball. These experiments start with great fanfare and end with a whimper. Usually, they don't even report on the tryout cause she gets whipped so badly in the first twenty minutes it's embarrassing. A few years ago, there were all these headlines about the first woman to compete in NCAA men's football. She was a kicker, and she didn't kick off or attempt field goals. Extra points only, and I think she missed one of those.
There are always made up events, where they get the top female athletes to compete against average guys and they make a big whoop about it.
Men can't be allowed to compete in women's leagues or brackets because if they were, there wouldn't be any women's brackets.
I also understand why men don't want to play against women when they signed up for a men's league.
I'm also tired of people pretending that women can compete with men in athletic events. A top woman can compete with an average guy, but at the top level there's no contest.
Examples (may not be exact numbers, but close): Top female bench press without lifting shirt is 420 pounds. Top men's is over 700. Top female with lifting shirt is 520. Top men's, over 1000 pounds.
If she’s such a stud, turn pro.
I would have no problem playing anyone, male or female, who was better than me. My problem is just being able to play tennis, period. I love to play, but my body doesn’t go along with the program. Too many arm and shoulder problems. It’s a lot more fun playing better players than it is weaker players. Case in point I never once beat my older brother playing table tennis when we were kids. I never gave up, and I knew how good I was. I was never discouraged from playing. I was determined to beat him the next time. Which never happened. Plus playing against him made me a better player. I could usually beat everyone else. Anyone who doesn’t want to play against a stronger player, regardless of gender, is only defeating themself.
