The deal with boys play female sports is that it is wrong to allow either gender more opportunity to play.

Valid. So, how about if a female decides to play with men, she cannot register to play with in the female equivalent of the sport.
Fair?[/quote]
Fair. Plus, do you have any idea how exhausting it is to have to compete in two divisions on the same day?
Also, for whoever said they’ve never seen a female beat a male at sports, I really hope you only meant that on the olympic level, because it happens all the time in the lesser levels.

No, not fair, that doesn’t resolve the situation I described. The girl still gets the choice where the boy does not.
There’s a huge difference between taking a kidney/face shot and wrestling sports. I’m sorry, but they are nowhere close to the same thing as far as violence goes.

Worst injury I ever got was a bloody nose/cuts on brow.
Second worst was an infection affecting a knee surgery scar.
Its his choice and all, but its not the choice I would make. Sounds to me like he was afraid of cooties.
Therefore, I repeat the question, “With this in mind I’m sure you’re on board with the idea of letting men play on women’s basketball and hockey teams, right?”

I’ve seen a dislocated elbow and a broken neck at wrestling matches.

Weird. Worst I ever witnessed was 1 guy who had already broken his back rebreaking it. He wet himself on the mat. Good point. Wouldn’t want to do that to a girl.

No, she does not, unless I didn’t word it properly. If she doesn’t make the boys’ team/league, she can’t reapply and play for the girls until the next season when she can try out again (because a boy who didn’t make the team could also try out next season).
How’s that? She still gets to choose between two leagues, but once she chooses one, she cannot play for the other.
Do you mean the fact that she even has a choice is where the disparity lies?

You’re forgetting your head injury that has since caused your mental wheelbarrow to tip over many times. Including here on this thread.

Edit: Double lol. I misread. I thought you were saying girls on a boys team. No men should not play on womens teams. Unless they get a note from their doctors saying that they are chronic incurable pussies
Push it sounds like your advocating regulations regardless of merit of the individual?
In my high school a handful of girls played on the mens hockey team over the years because there was no womens team. One girl, who was universally despised and rode the bench, played baseball instead of softball just to make a point. They signed the waiver, they’re responsible for what happens in the course of a game.

I don’t get the “let men play on women’s volleyball team” argument. Is that just to test the boundaries of the people in favor of the girl wrestling with the boys?
Because there are already men’s teams for those sports, so why blatantly try to play with the women?
If she was wrestling with the guys because there were no female competitions AT THAT LEVEL, then that makes sense. Equity is fine, but so long as there’s equal opportunity for BOTH genders’ sports, there’s no “issue.”
It’s not just about religion or “pussing out.” I think men in general are HARD WIRED to not be as physically aggressive–if at all–with women, and that seems to a legit point that’s unfairly overlooked when discussing this issues, particularly when WOMEN discuss them:
“That asshole forfeited to take away from her achievement!”
No, that “asshole” was probably raised a certain way AND his natural instinct was to not get violent with a girl. This is a point that women will NEVER understand because they’re not men. Men understand it, though.[/quote]
It was wrestling, not freaking UFC or boxing. I don’t think the “violence” argument has as much weight with such a controlled, non-striking skill sport.[/quote]
Have you ever wrestled competitively? Because judging by that statement I’d guess no. It is a combat sport, not a skill sport.[/quote]
X 1000
Oleena is full of shit, as usual - talking about shit she hasn’t done. Oh, I forgot: she got thrown down once (but pinned the guy). Riiiiight. Guess that makes her an expert at wrestling now.
Take a look at the video, Oleena. Now tell me if you think a woman has ANY place with these athletes IN THE SAME WEIGHT CLASS. Women should not be wrestling men. Period. That’s just fucking retarded. Upper body strength is a HUGE factor in wrestling.
This Title IX bullshit has gone too far. The ONLY reason that these women are being allowed to wrestle is because if they are NOT allowed, the WHOLE WRESTLING PROGRAM will be cut. Hundreds of high schools and colleges have dropped their wrestling programs as a result of this BULLSHIT legislation. If we DON’T let them play, they take our sports away. Fucking bitches.
Some of the worst “combat” injuries occur in wrestling. Nasty dislocations, broken backs/necks, twisted knees, broken ribs…don’t think just because there is no striking that injuries do not happen.
Much greater impact forces in wrestling than in boxing/UFC. The sight of blood doesn’t automatically mean one sport is more violent than the other; we are discussing violence in terms of severity of injury, even potential injury. You recover fine from a broken nose, but a broken back might not be as easy to recover from. My childhood friend broke his back in wrestling.
