Does anyone know how many professional leagues give women the opportunity to try out? NBA? NFL? etc |

I'm all for it, but I'm with the others who think women will have a hard time competing with men due to physical factors.
I also totally see people blaming it on sexism at some point and demanding some kind of quota.

Again, in theory there should be nothing wrong with women competing in anything, but the reality is that sports culture would not accommodate women in many if not most or even all circumstances (probably not all though). You can make a moral stand for this issue, but the reality of the situation is what it is.

Age means a whole **** of a lot when it comes to sports. Being past your prime age is an insurmountable obstacle. If you don't get that then you simply have no idea what you are talking about. None.

Quite sure the NHL had a female goalie at one point. Gimme a sec to find a source.
Here you go. She was a good enough goalie to win a Olympic medals with the Canadian national team, but still couldn't hack it in the big leagues. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manon_Rh%C3%A9aume

Men simply cannot compete in competitive cleaning competitions. They would be annihilated.

We just said esports, we didn't specify. So in your head all you think about is Starcraft. I said team sports so I'm thinking League of Legends or in COD matches. They are team efforts more so than Starcraft when it's 1 v 1 even when you are on teams it is still 1 v 1 instead of like a group effort in COD. Quote:

Refer to my point up there ^^^ They were competing against white men that had a considerable size difference and I can pull up links if you want for muscle density and all of that bull**** but it's the same when people want to argue that "oh no women can't perform the same as men because physicality" STFU. Black men and White men are physically different and they are still playing in the same league.
