A summary of why women playing men's games tend to play several levels down.
The only reason the WNBA exists is that it is the easiest and cheapest way to distract the Feminazis.
Women's volleyball is the only exception.

Now, let's try this again in basketball. The high school boys will probably outscore the WNBA pros two to one as well.

We were all over them. They couldn't make their passes. Was there really any need for the women to make passes when the boys were already all over them?

There are a great many so-called sports "experts" who are totally unaware of the marked physical differences between the sexes as regards speed and strength. They would be mightily shocked to see how bad many good major college womens teams would be beaten by good boys high schoolers in a variety of sports.
A few years ago some the Williams sisters challenged some male pro tennis player to a match. They had read somewhere where the number one women tennis player could beat all but the top two hundred men players. The guy (a German pro whose name I can't remember) was ranked about 500th in the world. He handily beat both sisters back to back and afterwards bragged about how easy it was.

The article didn't mention the fact that there is a huge manufacturer of hockey STICKS in town as well.

The best women's sports are the ones which emphasize their natural grace and agility, such as figure skating and gymnastics.

The feminazis will now insist that the game is somehow "unfair" to women and find wome way to destroy the game in order to make it "fair".

Many of us old piggies have neer forgotten the travesty that was Billy Jean King / Bobby Riggs. A woman (the best at the time) in her prime against a washed up old man who was never very good to start with - then the feminists and the media declared afterward that women athletically were on the exact same level as men. What a farce!

Women who play sports where helmets are required often have a need to where helmets unrelated to the sport.

That's something I'd love to see a lot more of.

The WNBA is great for the sale of men's flannel shirts and penny loafers.

I'm frankly amazed that the WNBA has lasted as long as it has. It must be subsidized by the NBA or something.

The best women's sports are the ones which emphasize their natural grace and agility, such as figure skating and gymnastics. Equestrian events are also a great leveller, because they depend upon finesse, balance, and sensitivity.
. . . raw courage also.
