I don't care for all this Title 9 crap, let's face it there are some sports for the girls, but in general sports are within the realm of manly things. This is the reason most will not pay good money to see a girl hit a softball 230 feet, but will pay good money to see a man hit a baseball 440 feet. Just as when girls gymnastics go up against the NFL on the TV guess who more people are going to watch?

I believe we are talking about amateur wrestling and not professional sports here....

Ref post 22 - "Hey - Sarah Michelle Gellar, who has a martial arts black belt showed even girls can take on big guys. If you've seen her on Buffy you know what I mean."

I assumed that was in jest. If serious, it would be frightening - like quoting a Charlie's Angels movie! Of course, I also hate it when the hero is punched hard enough to knock him across the room & through a door, and he jumps up fighting. Physics suggests a blow like that would shatter his face and possibly leave him a mumbling idiot for the rest of his life. Rates right up there with guys who hide behind drywall in a shootout!
