You said you weren't going to die on the hill then kept defending your stance as the only right one. Try to actually move on this time.

I competed in track/xc for 4 years and watched numerous teammates get held up by the eligibility center. many of which had nothing against their record.

were these transfers, incoming freshman, or people already having been enrolled as full-time students at the school for over a year?

Had a kid from laffy who wanted to walk on the team

Couldnt practice until he was cleared

Was in coaches office the previous Friday, at Practice the next Weds

So took a full 2 business days

Personally, I was cleared in the fall of 2005 in about 2 or 3 weeks from what I remember

So a high school kid with no rush took me 17 days give or take
I applied spring of 13 and it took 3/4 i think. I dont doubt that this happened I just feel like someone had to be pulling strings in the office for him to get through the process that quickly.

I don't think she's a horrible example. I think she's actually the perfect example because of her being arguably the best female tennis player ever. I asked pride because he played tennis for LSU and would probably have a better frame of reference than anyone on here.

Here is how it works

Our best player ended up getting a career high rank of right at 300 in the world

He was first team All-American

So, this is how I explain it to people that dont know tennis. How bad do you think a first team all american basketball player, or soccer player, or whatever sport you do follow would crush a pro woman?

So that is someone 300 in the world in mens tennis that would absolutely wreck serena

She could play college tennis for lower level D-1 teams

You've done exactly what I say you did. It's all good though. Just move on if you're capable.

Any of you that have also seen her up close in person can attest, she's also the most physically impressive woman I've ever seen. Her arms are as big as my neck. If there was EVER a female athlete equipped biologically to compete with men in a physical sport, it's her.



Yet she's still not even close. It just is what it is.

Yeah, we've seen plenty of examples. The US womens world cup champion soccer team was crushed by an U15 boys team. The best womens college basketball programs practice against college rec team guys an get crushed. These are guys that were high school basketball players who either weren't good enough to play college ball or didn't want to play DIII ball. Those guys are usually also smaller than the girls teams, they're just far stronger, faster, and more athletic. I just wish the SJWs would realize it's not a matter of sexism but a matter of genetics and biology. Girls flat out cannot compete with guys, and there's nothing wrong with that. They have their own teams competing against other females for a reason.

I agree with you 100% and thats what I said in my post. And whats to say a prime Serena would not be the number one or two player at Nicholls St or a similar school.

And its a bad example only because tennis is a sport where the best women can complete with better than average, even some club pro type men. Not top 500 men, but still significantly better than most men.

There is no women that ever lived that would be a better than average football player even at the high school level. Because no skill/experience in football can compensate for the difference in size, strength and speed.

You would need to compare Serena at high school age against high school boys to say what you're trying to.

I dont think tennis is a good example of this at all

Tennis is physical as shite. It brings into play fast twitch muscles, and muscles for endurance and sustained output

It brings into play upper body, lower body, and conditioning as well

It also has an advantage in height.

Serena is likely as good as the 1,000th-1,500th best male tennis player in the world in a single particular year

I would say the best ever soccer player in women could have been the 1,500th best soccer player in a particular year

I would say right now, the best womans basketball player could be as good as the current mens 1,256 best player

Eh, not sure I'd have the woman that high in soccer.

And definitely not as high here. There are 350 division 1 programs each with 15 players. That's 5250 players that I would put money on being better than any female in however metric you want to measure. That's before we even look at NBA players, both current and retired). And also before we look at high school players.

Perhaps you just missed a decimal and meant to say 10,000th or so

I don't think the best womens basketball player is better than any mens D1 basketball player, nor any mens professional player worldwide. There are thousands of mens players combined in those leagues. There are 350 D1 teams and assuming 15 players per team, that's 5250 players in D1 ball. There are 15 roster players on an NBA team. There are 30 teams total. That's 450 NBA players plus another 150 G league players. That doesn't even include all the elite level former college players playing in Europe and worldwide players. The best womens basketball player in the world probably isn't even in the top 10,000 players in the world.

And soccer is probably even worse honestly. When an U15 US boys team is smoking the best womens team in the world, there are very likely tens of thousands of mens players that are better than the best womens player in the world.

And to a lesser extent we have had guys like David freshman on our team. I think the best woman’s player in the world is better

Those women get crushed by guys not good enough to walk on at a D1 school in practice every day. Any player on an active D1 team would destroy any womens player
