[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL at 30 pages about girls sports.

I admittedly know nothing about girls soccer. It’s not even remotely meaningful to me.

But, I do know about girls basketball, and you could very easily find 7 guys at any urban YMCA on a Saturday who would absolutely throttle the best all-WNBA team that could be assembled across the entire history of the league.

Is soccer similar? I assume it must be.

The whole thing seems silly. USWNT “invented” global women’s soccer and only won WCs until other countries actually started trying and fielded teams. [/quote]

Yes, it is similar. Maybe not to the level of basketball, but a D3 men’s college team would beat the USWNT easily. [/quote]

I hear this comparison often, that a low level men’s team would beat the women. Well, duh but I’m struggling to find how that is relevant. Women’s sports shouldn’t exist because men can beat them? Sarena Williams was dominant in tennis but wouldn’t have beat even lower ranked men. But did that mean there shouldn’t be women’s tennis? Or Katie Ladecky in swimming. Or Simone Biles. I don’t get it. Let’s face it. Some men just don’t like women doing the things they do. I guess they feel threatened. 50 years ago women’s tennis was in this position but now it is mostly accepted, so I have hope for women’s soccer in the future.[/quote]
