You know you're perfectly right. We should end women's sports and force everyone to tryout for one team. It's the same as the Negro Leagues, right?

I dunno if someone else has made the same point, but no-one forces female athletes to do sexy photoshoots. Why do they do them? They would appear not to share the concern that it degrades women or damages their sport, or, surely, they wouldn't do it? As for geneder inequality, men earn less in the Slams tennis than women, as they play much more for the same money.

Men are bigger, faster, and stronger than women and in sports where that matters (football, basketball, baseball, hockey), they put on a better product in competition than women (in other words, more entertaining). But in sports where the differences in ability between men and women is subtle (tennis, golf, auto racing, snowboarding) the competition and entertainment value is more leveled. Women COULD build more muscle and devote more time to sports, but they would sacrifice their femininity.

@tjmac7 And it's STILL not slander if it's true.

[tjmac7]

@PrisonerNumber9653 - Slanderer, you reveal yourself.

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@tjmac7 Still more outright blasphemy. You've yet to show anything I've said to be 'lies', and claiming that being against racism, sexism, and bigotry makes one 'satan' is truly an insult to God. You just keep getting lower and lower, sleazier and sleazier.

[tjmac7]

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@tjmac7 Delusional? You've yet to show one WORD I've said to be untrue. And you've CONTINUED to hide like a scared child from a simple question.

Don't you DARE blaspheme by calling me "Satan" as if God supports your despicable bigotry and greed. That's just offensive, just sick. You're truly perverted.

[tjmac7]

@PrisonerNumber9653 - You're aggresive and delusional and as such i will have nothing more to do with you. i am not a shrink . Get behind me Satan.
