There's a reason why men and women sports are separate. There's a reason why transgender men are smashing women records. Caitlin Clark would not hang in a mens league. Stop that bullshit.
I've never seen her play and dont care to see her play, but I have no problem saying she could hang better than most women against men. That's just a fact, if she is as good at basketball as people in this thread say, but it's a fact against men in general. We aren't talking about men in general. We are talking about men that are as good in their sport comparatively to Caitlin in hers, a sport that is far superior in athletism, size, and power. She would get smashed in a mens league.
Even the best WNBA players understand they wouldn't win against even the worst bench player in the NBA. As soon as the NBA gets tired of paying the salaries of players for a league that is losing millions of dollars year after year, the WNBA wont exist.
Why are you this miserable and take sports so serious? [Reply]

I don’t think anybody is saying she could compete with men on even a college level [Reply]

Like all those teams dropping 8 into coverage vs. Mahomes...you play to win with a strategy that gives you the best chance... [Reply]

I love how you continue to think that any male high school basketball player under the age of 38 could "mop the floor with her" and somehow now that's morphed into some absurdity that I'm arguing that she could hang with D1 men's athletes. [Reply]
This argument always devolves into some form of "well, college women couldn't compete with college men, so why watch?"
So, if that's the standard, why would any person watch college sports when college teams would always get wiped away by their professional counterparts?
I admitted earlier in the thread that the FF game was the most I've ever watched of women's hoops. But hell, it was a lot of fun. Clark is just a generational talent in WCBB and I had fun watching the game and watching her will her team against an undefeated opponent. Why does the conversation always have to go to "WELL MARKQUIS NOWELL WOULD KICK HER ASS" [Reply]
The mens tournament is filled with a bunch of future Enterprise Rent A Car front desk employees out there chucking up bricks after passing it around awkwardly for 25 seconds.
I watch that shit so I'll for sure be watching a superior talent within her sport play today. [Reply]

It’s almost like people had fun watching
Katie ledecky and flo Jo without ever asking or caring if they could compete with Michael Phelps or Carl Lewis [Reply]
Let me know when Caitlin can take 98mph right down the pipe for strike three. Or when she can turn that sinker into a line drive out to the SS for an easy double play in a critical moment. [Reply]

And he still has you mad about it. It's a message board relax [Reply]
LOL at all the "Sees thread about sport I don't care about, feels uncontrollable need to troll how I feel the sport I watch is better to distract from actual conversation about said sport" [Reply]
