StarCraft players peak around their mid-twenties and then decline shortly afterward, which is an even quicker turnover than tennis, where you can at least make it to thirty before being forced to retire. And much of that is due to reaction speeds deteriorating around that age, and the sites I looked at also suggested that women maintained peak reaction speeds for a shorter period of time than men.

The UNDER 17 Men's National Soccer Team beat the USWNT 8-2. Not even close to the best team the US Men can field This thread is a desperate attempt at making some grand point but is not taking any logic or facts into account. Even in golf women would not be able to compete under the same circumstances. Have you ever been on a golf course? The "women's tee" is generally a 20+ yard handicap closer than the men's. Women don't even play on the toughest, most famous golf courses in the world (like Augusta National). It's not a sexist thing it's just how things ****ing are, jesus christ

Also as far as I'm aware, nothing on the FIFA website prohibits a woman from playing in a full national team, they aren't 'men's' teams, they're first teams. Women's teams exist because women have no chance of playing in a full national team.
I remember reading about it when this article got published - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.t...p-women-sexism |

That last point is conjecture, but I know I would be hard pressed to full body tackle a woman without any hesitation, and I imagine the majority of males would feel the same.

If certain rules are agreed upon, I don't see why one would have to hold back if a woman were facing off against a man. Plus, women tend to get underrated for their physical strength and often times could easily take on a man of equal stature in a football match, or even wrestling. But it would have to be on a case by case basis, of course.

And whether or not they're underrated you can't argue with science. Take the world's strongest man and woman and have them go blow for blow and see which one ends up in the hospital.

And I implied the man vs woman thing on a case by case basis because there are women that have no problem being tackled by a man in a given sport, but like I said, it's a case by case basis. |
