Who is the greatest woman athlete of all-time? The greatest men's athlete? Why to both questions?

Greatest male athlete of all time - Jim Thorpe. Jim Thorpe is the only person in history to win gold medals in the pentathlon and the decathlon in the same Olympics. He was one of the greatest football players of all time (the only player to be named to both the Pioneer Era and Modern Era All-Star teams), a major league baseball player, a scratch golfer, an excellent tennis player, a competition class surfer, a top swimmer and a professional basketball player (pre-NBA). And he did it without steroids.

When was it decided that the uglier the women are, the better they can wrestle? I'm sure somewhere in the world there are pretty, sexy women who can wrestle as well as Jazz or Chyna. And If VinnyMac wants T&A, then forget about them wrestling because watching two Divas who can't wrestle worth a damn is not my idea of entertainment.

http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=ks&p=Male+Dominance+%2B+Sports\n\nHave fun reading.  \nInteresting to note there is an SI swimsuit issue reference in there.  The women dominate in that one I think.  ;-P

puhlesssse, we don't get the same respect, cuz men are at the top of all the promo companies and such.  As for the men being better players, that could be debated from here to eternity.  Look at the US for example, how many world cups have the men won and how many have the women won?  I think that speaks volumes for itself.  The men have never ever won!!!!!  Women's sports in general are just still too new to get public attention and too many men still working at the top that feel women belong in the kitchen, when the men themselves would not know a frying pan if one hit them in the a$$.\n\nJust my opinion, but I do love a healthy debate and argument

I am not sexist in any way, so dont think I am. The caliber of mens play compared to women is much higher. In some sports women do step up and get a chance to play in mens leagues, but usually end up giving up on that. In the sports that women played against men, such as hockey, with the tampa bay goaltender, she made the NHL, played one game and got smoked, she never tried to go back. Men have a more competitive nature and the body to back it up. Women are usually not built to be a big football or hockey player.  But some of them do what they can to get to the level they can play with the men. I dont know if they are trying to prove something or what. But the reason men sports are more popular is because more men watch sports than women. And a lot more men play sports then women, men are dominant in sports. Women do not get into sports as much. And there are also a lot of sexist guys out there that feel women should not play sports, which i think is ridiculous.

Mia Hamm is definately the best there is. I love her and look up to her as an extremely skilled player and awesome role model.

Do you mean playing or watching or both.  I love athletic girls.  I love girls who enjoy watching sports.  I'm into sports and it is refreshing to be able to communicate with someone about them.  Some of my best female friends in college played on various sports teams.  Even though they weren't interested in relationships with males, we still had good times together.  I hope this answers your question.

Well...Nicol David is definitely better athlete.  Alex, well, you may think he's hot but I'm, well, I like women, not men (for obvious reasons), so I pick Nicol David.

I am clapping my hands!IIt is so fun to play AND watch! I prefer watching women's tennis to men's because after 2 hours or so, it gets tedious. My favorite women's player is Martina Hingis and men's is Roger Federer. I don't play at a club, but I am starting next month with lessons. (I still play for fun though)

I have to agree with you.  If women were as good as men, would there be a need for them to have their own crappy leagues like the WNBA, LPGA (with closer tees), WTA, etc?  If women are just as good as men, shouldnt they be held to the same standards and compete in the same leagues, against men?  Im sure there is a very small number of women that could compete at that level, and they should be allowed to and welcomed.  But the opportunity to play professionally would disappear for a huge number of women if that was to come to pass.\nBy the way- there was a dude recently trying to play in the LPGA.  He said if women were going to play in the PGA and take up a man's spot in the tournament, the same thing should be allowed in the women's tour.  Women love it when another women tries to take on the men, they dont seem to like it nearly as much when the table gets turned on them.

Depends on the event. More of the artistic parts are naturally best done by women. Men in the sport have tremendous upper body strength, so parallel bars and rings for the GUYS can be SICK to watch. I would say gymnastics is the one and ONLY place that men and women can truly compete as EQUALS yet use the better advantages that each gender brings to the event.

I totally agree as long as an equal substitute is available for women. I prefer to play sports with the girls and save other activities for the boys ;0) My man plays on his softball team and I play on mine and when we want to play together we join a co-ed but it would be dumb to try to get on a men only team!@! Hints the name MEN'S TEAM!!!!!! Some women just have "penis envy" Dont hold it agains the rest of us!

Mia Hamm. She's the best because she went to UNC and has really helped to popularize soccer in the US. She's an excellent athlete!!!

Simply put, female athletes would not be able to compete with bigger, stronger males. Not to discredit the athletic ability of women. The sexes are built differently and men are favored in the athletic arenas requiring speed, power, and strength (though not necessarily in all sports- ultramarathons).

guyz get more attenition cuz of double standerds.  I HATE THEM :(          (the guyz and the double standards...lol)\n\nBut guyz are naturally stronger, quicker, and mor physical. But look how good girlz are! Mia hamm! Me! lol\ngirlz are less ignorant and big headed. \n\na lot of guyz hate girlz/woman playing sports cuz they are ignorant and too stupid to realize a lot of girlz are serious about sports. but, a lot of girls aren't serious when they play, they just try and look cute and they scream when the ball comes by them. but at list they're playing i guess...\n\ni love mia hamm's quote, its awesome!

I have no idea, but I was upset about that. They should have all sports, olympic or not. I think it is being biased because they dont have a lot of woman's sports. For example they don't have gymnastics or cheerleading. And how can they have horse racing, darts, handball and martial arts but no softball???
