[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gender based sports should be extinguished. All sports at all youth levels (pre-HS) should be based on a combo of weight and age.  In HS, college, and pros top teams would be based on who’s the best. This would eliminate all the non-value added discussion on equal pay, transgender males playing in female leagues, etc. No, boy’s/men’s gymnastics or girl’s/women’s basketball, etc. Just one top team per sport per school or pro team/city. If a female is good enough to make the top team then they make it. Same (vice-versa) with sports geared to female body types.  There can be B and C teams (or JV teams or minor league teams) with a mix of genders based on ability. Propping up a gender just because of their gender is neither natural nor fair. It’s about talent, ability, priority, and work ethic. Same as in the corporate world. Until this is done, these pointless arguments will persist. [/quote]

There are some high school sports that do this. Golf team is co-ed at my kids HS. Best player is female[/quote]

Except in golf, size and speed are irrelevant. Not so with many other sports where most boys will have a physical advantage. The reality is, boys U15 and up will be bigger and stronger and can injure many girls the same age.  So shall we put the majority of girls only in rec programs or tell them they should pursue the arts and knitting? [/quote]
