Go fu$k yourself. That was uncalled for.


It was entirely true. You said women can't play baseball ("With baseball, there is just no way that a woman would have the ability to make it at the highest level"), and called it "realistic." Sexism, in a nutshell.

But you're actually right, in the end: Calling you out for your sexism was probably uncalled for in this forum, since people aren't here to be self-reflective. I should have just left your original comment alone.

I will reply civily to your other comments.


And I appreciate that, although I don't know if continuing the debate would be constructive. I will if you want to, but otherwise I'll drop it.

I also fail to see how MLS operating at a loss has any parallel to the NBA operating at a loss but continuting to keep the WNBA afloat to give women a platform to showcase their athletic talents.


I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here, but to clarify my analogy with MLS: The fact that the league is operating at a loss doesn't reflect the abilities of the entire gender, it reflects the market for the sport.
