    even if a man and women are exactly equal in skill and talent, the man has a massive strength and speed advantage. its like fighting a heavyweight vs an equally talented flyweight. and even a woman of equal size to a man is still tremendously weaker.

    i cant believe i have to explain this.

    yeah "if". again, let me fill you in. it isnt gonna work.

    i agree that some really amazing women can beat men that are terrible. we are not talking about that and there is no reason to mention it. we are talking about basically the first or second best college football team in the world, and you are talking about some woman you know who beats drunks at the local bar in ping pong.

    Exactly. I mean come one guys, this is ridiculous. Speed, size, and strength are what make them better.

    No I'm not talking about drunks Martin. And I do agree with you when it comes to elite athletes in a sport like football. I think people like Jenny Fink, Serena Williams, Ashley Fiolek, and others have proven they can compete with some men. My comment was not to argue or put anyone down, just saying I like the girl and enjoy good competition.

    they have proven the exact opposite with great ferocity. jennie finch couldnt even pitch single A baseball. serena williams is awful compared to men. very slow and hits incredibly soft with very little spin. when she plays men they easily run down everything she hits and give her a complete and utter thrashing. she is used to hitting against women who are relatively very slow and weak.

    softballs thrown underhanded move in the exact opposite way of a pitched baseball. thats why baseball players cant hit it the fisrt time they see it. if men played softball she would have a to get a job at wendys.

    so when you say they can compete with "some men", that is like saying babies are good at sprinting because they can run faster than some men (who happen to be ninety with no legs).

    i do to, she seems nice enough.

    then you should ignore her effort to kick, which is not a good competition, but a PR stunt.

    have you ever played a sport for real against a woman? i have. i scrimmaged a girls college team. it wasnt fun. i was on a summer league rec soccer team with guys who didnt know each other and were not that good. we were ahead by a zillion goals basically immediately. we could score at will, because every player we had was faster and stronger then their best player. its not a real competition. women are incredibly slow, they cannot run at all. they are tiny and weak and incredibly sexy.

    She said some have criticized her tryout as “publicity stunt” but “nothing could be further from the truth.”

    You don't say. Are you telling me that, if I had the skills and athleticism of Odell Beckham, I could play WR for LSU?
    It's little league. Girls develop earlier than guys do, so that's the time when you see girls competing with guys.



    If she can earn a spot, then I'm all for it.

    But a kicker doesn't really play against the other team. A kicker plays against the goal and distance. The video in post 1 shows that she can kick a round ball 80 yards. If she can kick a football 50 yards consistently, she can play this here game. It doesn't matter of some males can kick it farther. Most can't.

    There is no reason not to let her try.

    The Advocate article Southrn linked says (at least Mo says) she was consisently putting kickoffs between the 5-yard line and the goal at Tuesday's tryout, and that she hit two 50-yard field goals yesterday. So she's doing at least as well as Hairston and Allemand did last year. I know, tryouts, not real games. The point is physically at least, she might measure up. But she'll have to exceed what those guys are doing if she wants one of their spots on the roster.
