Men vs Female (sports)

My buddy and I were having an argument about professional female athletes...

DO you guys think that professional females can beat high school-college level men's team?

For sports such as football, basketball, baseball, etc?

For example, in basketball, I think a wnba's olympic team would lose to good high school men's team.

No, the women olympic USA team would beat a mens basketball team. Just like USA's soccer team would beat a good highschool team. Baseball women would lose, ALWAYS.

Phil Jackson

“When Jackson ran a youth basketball camp in Montana early in his coaching career, he recalls pitting a state champion high school girls team against a group of middle-school boys who had never played together. The outcome of the game was so one-sided in favor of the boys that it has stuck in Jackson’s mind ever since. ‘(The girls) were all four to six inches bigger than these boys, and they got beat by 40 points,’ Jackson said. ‘It was one of those things that opened my eyes to the differences. Even though the girls had skill and knowledge as a group and the boys hadn’t played together, they just trapped and pressed and did all kinds of things that changed the game

The USA's women's squad routinely scrimmages hs boys soccer and frequently loses.....

I read that the German womens national team scrimmages u15 boys and loses signficantly more often than not.

Against just a high school team, an elite women's team would win the vast majority of the time in most sports (no for baseball though. Even high school pitchers throw in the 70s and 80s and the fastest fastball by a woman ever recorded is about 65MPH which is incredibly hittable. Against an elite high school team then it would be different as the boys would likely win in every sport.

I think for basketball, the sheer lateral speed men have over women is a huge difference. Girls can shoot and dribble, but can they shoot over tall kids coming at them and dribble over athletic lanky kids.....

Also, another huge difference is the ball. The women's ball is lighter and smaller, than the mens... I can shoot 3s with one hand with a womens ball....

So, I think most hs basketball states like NY, California, Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, etc hs kids would wipe the floor off the girls.

I know for top college teams like Conn, Tenn, etc, they pickup male practice players=ymca/intramural guys and get whipped by them on a daily basis, with a no dunk/layup rule, playing above the rim, etc...

Physically men have women beat. It's just physiology. However I fully believe a woman's technique can rival a man's.

The question was if hs kids could beat women pros...

Men vs female pro athletes is not even a contests in most major sports (team)

Physical attributes contribute to technique, which is why it would be extremely difficult for girls to replicate what guys can do in sports.

Well, it depends on the sports. Basketball, no...it relies far too much on height and speed. Women's softball and baseball could possible rival men's. As well as cricket.

You also have to appreciate that High School/College level sports is a phenomenon almost exclusively limited to the United States. Sports operate very differently is other countries.

Men dont play softball and baseball/softball to is build on power/speed.

Outside of the states, everyone has u18s, etc, so its essentially similar.

Have you watched women's softaball? They fucking kill it.

The ball is bigger in softball. Can you imagine these hs kids getting cracks at them...

In softball, the fastest pitch was clock in at 68mph, in hs baseball, the average pitcher throws his fastballs at 72mph...

Baseball is a less physical sport than both american football and basketball, but still a sport that requires a high level of physical attributes...
