I've already addressed the golf issue, but again, they can't drive the ball as far as the men creating an unfair advantage.....Tennis...anyone of the top ten men would crush the williams sisters on their best day.....swimming, the records aren't even close as to times...Nascar I really don't consider a sport, I don't even consider motorcycling a sport and I ride one, but I'm proud to say there are some women in my club that ride faster than I do and I've been 170 on a bike.....as for boxing, please, be serious.

The unfair advantage is women not getting to try in the first place and prove naysayers wrong. You can go by statistics. But until male and female athletes get to perform alongside eachother you can never be certain. Results may surprise you but we haven't seen them in large numbers now have we? I see nothing wrong with it. Out there in this world somewhere there is a woman who wants to verse a male boxer. She is aware of the inherent risks but accepts them anyways. She is perfectly okay with it but they won't let her enter the tournament. They say it's unfair but she never got a chance to prove herself. Now that's unfair.

Whats really unfair is if the NBA did integrate with the WNBA. There are a handful of woman that would do okay, but on the whole,most woman would be dropped from the sport and the highest most woman would ever go in the sport would be colledge.

^you need to study up on your sports. The top female B-Ball player tried out for the NBA, and got cut from the practice squad, didn't a woman attempt to play in the masters, but realized there was no way she could compete....Christie the female heavyweight champion boxer tried sparring with males to tougher her up, their jabs were hurting her...It just isn't realistic...Now when girls are 13-14, they dominate the boys, but then it's a wrap, they just can't match the speed, the strength and the over all athletism. Although I think womens college basketball is a much cleaner game and played like it's supposed to be played then the mens NCAA games....here's one sport where I think a woman can compete with a man, Volley ball, but even then the men spike much harder, but the women set better.....other than that, there is no major league sport that a woman can play equally with a man, it just isn't going to happen, sorry....hope all you want, but nada, no way, no how....

So...your saying that there is a woman boxer out there that could challenge say Floyd Mayweather Jr.??? Or maybe Mike Tyson in his prime??? I'll take whatever your smoking please. That fight wouldn't last a minute. As for professional football, placekicker is probably the only thing they could compete at...there have been a couple placekickers in the collegiate ranks. I'm trying to think of one woman I know that can bench 300lbs and I'm coming up blankrofl rofl rofl
