TV’s Frink said:

I’m not being sarcastic at all. Women are (for the most part) genetically disposed to be less strong then men, and you can see this in timed and distance/strength sports like track and field, swimming, etc. Sure, Serena Williams could probably hang with men tennis players, but most couldn’t.

Zero sarcasm. Men and women are separated in sports for a reason, and it’s not sexism.

But Frink, doesn’t that make you a MISOGYNIST?!

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Though Frink is being sarcastic

Ummm, no.

I think there are some sports that they would get decimated in.

Ya think?

Like in football (American football, not that stupid eurotrash football), for example.

Yes, also the Euro football, too. and the rest of sports.

It may be condescending,

Nope.

but men are just physically stronger than women, it’s a fact.

Y a think?

That being said, it would be interesting to see it actually tested out in mainstream sports, with everyone trying their absolute best and not holding back.

No it wouldn’t. It would be a laughable bloodbath.

some of the people who are calling for mixed gender sports now, would change their tune and insist that it wasn’t a fair match.

Anybody “calling” for this is insane. See, e.g., yhwx.

Sounds interesting to me. Why do you think people liked gladiators?

Hopefully it’s not like that one in Episode II.

On Segregating Sports By Gender

One of my biggest gripes with the general sports industry is how it has always segregated men and women. One of the arguments against a mixed sport is that the men would always win. This, however, is very condescending and sexist. A big counter argument would be tennis, where there are many women players who can rival the men.

There you go. That’s what’s currently bouncing in my noggin’.

Tennis isn’t a contact sport.

If you say enough words they start to not feel like words.

Apparently he was too subtle for you, so I’ll spell it out (again).

Try to make your posts count for more. Or at least, post less frequently.

So why do my posts have no substance?

Most of them are less than ten words, and frequently have no point.

You know what? I would like some sort of five minute waiting period on posts here. Just for me.

Wait five minutes before posting.
