If it happens it's going to be in soccer

Soccer
Basketball
Baseball
Football

That's how I'm guessing it will go. A women already played a couple NHL preseason games 20 years ago as a goalie too.

Wanted to cross baseball out, just remembered Jackie Mitchell. Though, it will still be one of the hardest sports.

I don't see it happening in the NBA for a long time maybe in 10+yrs they should keep it how it is tbh i do not want to see some soft nba and more floopers

Soccer is nearly there its mixed everywhere in schools and other places now

Baseball ..this especially do not see happening considering baseball want's to stay old school and not get with the " new school " stuff

20 yrs ago? yeah......

Just a fyi: There were/are women pitchers in the minors (Golden Colorado's team had a female reliever that was in the news a few years ago as "almost being major-league ready") ... positional players might be harder to break through but pitching is another story. Especially in today's MLB where pitchers have low pitch count limits and are specialists.

So MLB might be sooner then you think. Even the traditionalists take a back seat to money and revenue increases.

With baseball needing more attention i will not disagree that could help it

It's probably because some woman just didn't find time or was devoted to this. And the fear of people's generalization of them. I mean look at this thread, you have people already saying woman aren't meant to play in these leagues.

I'm sure one, at least one woman who is basically going all or nothing will crack one of the sports. It's the mindset and motivation that drives a person to do stuff.

Couldn't care less if he's off the 2K gig. He's such a negligible part of the game, I wouldn't even care if the whole half-time report was removed.

2k 14's halftime show on next gen is a huge letdown from what we were shown anyway. I have zero issues with them putting someone else into the game. Just as long as they give us an innovative and dynamic halftime show for once, I'm happy.

How amazing would it be if we got the TNT guys or even better the NBATV guys? And make a combination of NFL 2K5's and NCAA Football 14's presentation.

Well lets face it, the only decent sport to watch a woman play is volleyball. Lol I don't care how sexist I'm being, it's the truth.

Hey man, that's why they joined, they know what could happen and they are willing to join even though they could get hurt like the next guy. The media would over do it of course, but like a lot of other stories , they will die off .

There's practice squad to the at least learn the feel.

Exactly if Steve Adams big sis Valerie wants to play DT for the Saints


The let her try. If she succeeds more power to her if she gets broke off she is an adult, no need to white knight her or cry for her.

Agreed. Multiple overlays and different in studio announcers going over the highlights of the first half would be amazing also. The possibilities are pretty immense right now. I say we get some of what we want in about 3 or 4 years at best though.

Oh. If only 2K allowed us to make our own custom scoreboards and graphics packs like how Minecraft is allowed to have texture packs.

It's only one way to solve the generic brand problem, but it would still be cool.

I never played minecraft myself, but what you said seems very intriguing. It's all about what they concentrate their resources on I guess. Although, I doubt they'll do the whole minecraft thing. The sports game developers aren't really prone to giving us a whole lot of customization options. I still like your idea though.

I love how people will trade equality for truth.

Re: 2K Halftime Announcer Damon Bruce in Hot Water Over Rant on Women

This is pure bull s**t. I have a feeling that you have no clue on what you are talking about here.

How so? Like specifically...

First let me deal with this:

Seriously, do you want to go here? Most guys, even if they played high school sports really don't know anything about being in a professional sports culture. On the other hand, being the wife, daughter or girlfriend of an elite level athlete can give you insights that most will never understand. If you are male or female, being a part of a sports culture is not based upon your gender - it is based on so much more, including life experiences, intelligence and even education.

What the hell does a family member know about what goes on the field / court / lockerrooms that would be more credible than actually PLAYING the sport? You make no sense. Or maybe you misunderstood. It's not a sexist thing, it's a who's been there, done that thing. I'll take Charles Barkley's opinion over Ernie Johnson simply because he has the first hand experience. There's no woman analyst, as smart as she may be, who has first hand experience of PLAYING in any of the major pro sports.

Secondly, let me address this:


You obviously have never been inside a women's "locker-room" environment. The differences have nothing to do with over-sensitivity... being sensitive has nothing to do with gender.

Yes this is true seeing as how I'm not a hermaphrodite who has equal access to bother genders lockerrooms. Pretty sure females are more sensitive. You may want to pretend there are no physical or emotional differences between genders, but reality says otherwise.

Men and women have a common culture because we are all part of the same society. Men and women are not a separate caste in the United States and Canada like some Indian cultural system .

Yeaaaah... I'm not talking "culture" like hey I'm in a foreign land what is this strange food I am putting into my mouth. Culture as in sub-culture / sports environment.

The issue with Damon Bruce is that he is advocating that access be separated by gender - and that is just plain unacceptable and wrong in today's world.

Now lets go back to gaming and the NBA.

The only issue with Damon Bruce is that he is telling it like it is: that sports don't need a feminine influence of sensitivity, that society is becoming soft, that EVERYTHING is being called "bullying" these days. I'm sorry but you think our grandfathers n great granfathers who were busy winning WW1 and WW2 were crying "he called me a bad word!" No they actually had backbones.
