Given all that is going on why write about a lightweight issue.
When sport is played why is it not played on an open basis that is the best of men and women play against each other. Because dear lonely reader women are not good enough to do so.
Remember Heather Mackay. She was the greatest female squash player of all time. She actually played in the Sydney local grade competition against men and usually got thrashed each time. ( My uncle played against her.)
When working in the city I worked with a man who went to a Uni in Texas. It was where Martina Navratilova practised at. He also played tennis indeed he played in the Australian open at one stage. He informed me that those male players who were going to the Uni regularly beat her easily.
Let us go to the two sports I know well.
Football
Women are not the well balanced runners men are. They cannot control the ball as well, They cannot jink inside a defender and they make terrible goal keepers ( they cannot dive on their side well for some reason). It is a low skilled game. Our Matildas got beaten ( thrashed actually) by a U/16 team or thereabouts.
Cricket
Women cannot bowl side on for some reason hence they struggle to bowl out swingers, When they bowl in swingers it swings from the hand and the spinners are better described as pie chuckers. Notice no female bowlers have their speed measured. I wonder why.
I see better cricket on Saturdays when umpiring D grade Shires.
I am by no means saying women should not play sport however do not attempt to put it o n equal terms with men.
Equal pay simply does not work. At the office we all do similar work and get paid accordingly. There is no male and female work
Not so on the sporting field yet some females get paid as much as males. political correctness gone mad
