I don't know, the article has good points, less people will watch them. but I am not entirely against it.

My stupid idea is, If they want equality, make separate games or matches where men and women are mixed. where nobody is forced, if you are a woman and you feel confident enough, let her in.

I have no problem with women competing with men as long as they qualify. What I don't want is forced rules where you have to have a certain number of women on the team. The best person should get in.

They should have the opportunity to, sure. But they shouldn't be allowed to simply to fill a quota.

Truthly, they will never be able to compete in hockey nor football, basketball neither.

Baseball is a little tricky. At first I said no, while they could be able to field. Hitting may be a challenge. But when I read the article it brought up knuckle ball pitcher. I concede that is a very plausible possibility.

Golf women have tried, and only one has made the cut to my knowledge.

Bowling a woman did just beat Chris Barnes a few years ago.

Tennis I don't follow, but I think at least a few women have tried to challenge a man and never really amounted to much. I don't really count King vs Riggs, as he was an old man.

So it is possible in the less physical sports, just not very likely.

Hockey would be interesting. I know that the Williams Sisters lost against some low ranking men some time ago.

I wonder how they would do in Ping Pong or darts. I've seen some kickass female pool players.
