[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again don’t change the conversation or Points I argued. Because I made valid points you take it to the extreme and post nonsense.

someone posted 97% all men. I said not true posted numbers.

Also I took issue with outrage of winning program being coached by all men. Admin hire so the program can win. Seems like the people hired were merit based hires and have done well. Expressing outrage because you saw men in charge is dumb. If someone posted last year because the winning team UCLA had a female coach and said I cannot believe that a man is not coaching I could not even imagine the backlash to that statement.

My point in referencing the differences in sports rules is not to say one group is necessarily disadvantaged. However playing women’s lacrosse is completely different then the men’s game.  That point is to express why more men may prefer to coach women’s soccer vs women’s lacrosse. Soccer is the only major team sport where all things are equal, therefore experience playing as a male or female does not mean playing under different rules. Again if you have no knowledge of sports and it appears you have very little so you struggle to grasp the nuances.

More men play lacrosse but because the game is so different in the women’s game. I don’t think a man who has never played under women’s rules has all the knowledge and experience that a female player does. Is that a hurdle impossible to overcome, no, but do I think a woman has a leg up there 100%.  I also feel that a male might not have the same interest in coaching the game because of the differences. I also think that is a major reason why women held 90% of head coaching jobs in the women’s lacrosse game. Think male interest is probably a lot lower and women have better experience and knowledge compared to male counterparts because of those differences.

Again you would have to acknowledge that these differences say in lacrosse or in soccers case the fact that there are no changes to the game are major factors into why certain genders may or may not want to coach a sport. Again, nobody can acknowledge these factors as valid points. Instead they make blanket statements and make sarcastic posts like one above. At no point did I say more women should not coach or that men are better, but I know the things I mentioned are major factors in the total coaching pool and applicants available to hire from.

My point referencing tennis is men have to play longer and win more points to win a match, so essentially professional tennis male players work more for the same pay as their female counterparts. Do you want to touch on that or do we just wash over that because it does not fit your narrative?

Again you try to boil everything down to gender and that is lazy.

That is a completely bullshit analysis.

There are exactly zero - zip - none -nada - soccer coaches who think that the women’s game is similar to the men’s game.  Heck - Dorrence made his name and money establishing that the games, and the coaching, are very very different.  Apples to Horse Shoes.
