Sith Happens Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So we are constantly told more girls should be encouraged to play sports like football etc, we are told females should not be excluded based on their gender. Seems like maybe the equality and inclusiveness only works one way. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-47213640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys were dominating the netball games as they will be stronger than girls, so the girls weren't as involved. Seems like common sense. If girls want to play football in boy's game, where, on average they won't be as strong, then that's fair enough. If you think this ruling is some sort of disgrace, I assume you are pro abolishing all male and female only sports and have everything mixed right?

Netball is a game for for girly wimps Well that's what my daughter told me when I suggested she played it.

RamNut Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I'm totally supportive of women's participation in sport. 100% in favour of equality. Provided they skip about in short skirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The only sport that women and men shoul compete against each other at the Olympics is the horse stuff. But then the horse is doing all the work so that should be banned anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
