bob t youre an idiot.\nif soccer was a gay sport thats when american men would play it... \namerican women are better than other countries at soccer because there is more influence in america for girls to play than for guys... the guys think that theyre tough becuase they play football, basketball and other sports that prevail in america.

To say that black people just train harder is ridiculous. Look at any sport or position where speed of jumping ability is essential. These positions are dominated by black athletes. Sprinting, long jump, basketball, speed positions in football, etc. Genetics has to play some part. And the ONE white guy to win the dunk contest was Brent Barry. And Carlos Arroyo can't dunk!!

A minority of the point scored in a game are from dunks.  Fast breaks, and ally oops are a rare treat.  The hoop needs to stay where it is.

I want the Dallas Mavericks to win the trophy in the NBA. For the WNBA I'm gonna have to pick my home team Indiana Fever. And girls basketball doesn't suck. Whoever says that should get hit in the balls(or in the chest if u are a woman)

There is nothing a man can do that a woman cant!  This is the new millenium.  Women have come a long way.  We are in every sport and every field of employment.  We can be tough and feminine at the same time.  Now if the question was for a man?, well, that would be a different story.

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!

There are people who care about the WNBA still? lol, I love basketball, but womens basketball just is not entertaining. I think I could name a few Detroit players, so I'll go with Swin Cash.

That is not a valid question. However, on an average, and in general, Males tend to have better "reflexes".\n\nBut there are many women out there who are better then most males!

The NBA of course. Sure the and1 players might be athletic, better at getting past their defender and playing their man one on one but concerning overall skills you have to give it to the NBA. In the end it takes the whole team executing to win a game not just individual players.

It depends all a bit! \n\nI'm from Australia and while I agree that at major levels women don't always achieve equality, there are other major levels of Australian sport where they really lead the way - say, our female Olympic swimming team are seen as the highlights of our swimming here. \n\nAt local levels though sport is quite equal. There is nothing at all stopping girls from playing traditionally male sports such as football, rugby - in fact, when I finished up school two years ago our high school actually had a female rugby contest! \n\nAt local levels, sport seems to be fairly equal in Australia and the areas that aren't so equal are certainly catching up. Definitely rural Australia where I'm from is quite even...we don't really have the population out here to segregate so it seems naturally blended. \n\nEmail me if I can help more! robforster15@hotmail.com

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!  It's ridiculous to assume that just because you're tall that you're somehow genetically predisposed to being a sports goddess!  I'm over 6'1 and in playing sports, I've come across very tall girls who were probably much better at things other than the sport that somebody made them play.  \n\nMy parents also tried to force me to play basketball and I hated it.  I can't even watch girls play it to this day.  If you've given sports a chance and don't like it, spend your time doing something that makes you happy!

Girls can do sports such as football and baseball, just not in good competition with men. Please consider the psychical realities. Do not confuse equality of opportunity with equality of identity. They may be exceptional women who can compete with men, but on average, in these sports, very few.

You're right.  I tried to watch a game once.  What a waste of time.  Of course, the NBA isn't much more entertaining, but at least you know you're watching the best.  In the WNBA, they make a big deal out of a dunk.  That should tell you about the overall caliber of play in that league.  Won't be around much longer, I shouldn't think.

It's not sexist.  The reality is that there are more fans watching the NBA than the WNBA.  More fans mean more money to pay the players.  More fans mean more opportunity to sell sneakers, thus more endorsements.  Until men, women and children start embracing the WNBA as much as they do the NBA, then the WNBA players will continue to get paid less.
