Because, really, if we want that, we should have it.

Sexist.

It will solve any Title IX issue at the collegiate level, though.

Somewhere the East German Women's Olympic Team is cheering this on!

Do the Olympics have an official stance on this?

Do they still get to hit from the ladies' tees?

Finally end the stupid debate about whether the UConn women's team could beat a nationally-ranked boys' high school team.

UConn's "nongender"  team would be all guys so that argument would be moot

If a chick wants to try and play with the boys that's fine by me.

I think the IOC is still trying to work through the issues.  http://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2016/08/12/olympics-transgender-athletes

You fat slobs have less in common with male professional athletes than female professional athletes.

I bet there are some pretty sweet racks on many of the posters in here.

 

[MarvinTScamper]

If the women's sports paid above poverty level, some dingus would be trying to break in as a man.

I'm so not fat these days thanks to Otis.  

But really middle-aged. These whippersnappers would break me in two right now. 

But still, I can't imagine if I was twenty.  

Desegregate!

There is a great documentary about this...it is called Blades of Glory...

 

[Mister CIA]

I self-identify as sober. I'll express this sentiment in 20 different threads, and occasionally jump up and down, in case it's needed.

 

[Mister CIA]

... Mostly sober.

 

[Mister CIA]

It's just beer.

 

[Mister CIA]

I love 7.0%!!!! gllllllllllll

 

[rockaction]

[Mister CIA]

We're sober, G-d dammit!!

Look, who among us couldn't stand to lose a few. But I doubt I'm the worst off in here, by a good stretch.

I have a great deal of respect for female athletes, there isn't exactly a ton of money in most female sports.

No, but there's a ton of lesbianism.  

Wocka wocka wocka.

[adonis]

Perhaps we should desegregate our schools too.  Enough already with this grouping by grade and age.  Everyone, same room, same courses...let the best man or toddler win.

 

[otb_lifer]

who would fare better (across the board, in all athletic endravors) in competition vs. the females?  an effeminate, slight of build dude (think Johnny Weir/Scott Hamilton/Lars Ulrich) or, a woman beast -  (think Serena Williams/Holly Mangold/Khloe Kardashian)

Pretty sure the #1 8th-grade boys' team could give them a run

I love how you threw Ulrich in there.
