Nobody believes that a woman would make it in pro football or that a woman would be able to stand in against a top male fighter and if they're weren't skilled/tough enough they would never make it that far and it would be a complete non issue. The vast majority of men have no business in the ring either but there's nothing stopping them from trying and failing.

Should you ban those too? Ugh. Are you implying players can't be professional about their jobs? Again, you must have completely missed my post. I don't understand why you're quoting me, nothing I said has anything to do with what you said. The reason why only men play in the NBA is and should be that there are no women good enough, not that they've been banned from the league.

Some of you guys that think women should be allowed to play in the NBA have no idea what you're talking about to be clearly honest

Oh well, the only part of the halftime show i see are the sprint product placements/ads at the start and end. I really hate those.

The only way i'll ever watch the halftime show is if they get bill walton or charles barkley. Get it done 2k. Or better yet have those two as the announcers, that would be incredible. And for the love of all that is holy, replace doris burke with craig sager, the sound of her voice is torture to my eardrums.

Well then... maybe my post was sarcasm too.

If there's no reason to ban women from men's sports, is it okay to allow men in women's sports as well?

How many of you actually listened to his little rant? It had nothing to do with him finding WNBA games boring.

I listened to it. I was only responding to posts though.

His statement wasn't so far off-base, even though his point was. It was inappropriate and misconstruing, but he was really just going for a hook and was classic Damon.

The nfl, nba, MLB, NHL etc. are not men's only leagues. Obviously you don't let men into women only leagues just like pros can't play in college and there's age limits on little league. What does that have to do with what we're talking about?

Just responding to people. I'm only like one of three people in this thread who even listen to Damon Bruce regularly, so I of all people definitely understand everything that's going on in this thread.
