Why are women's sports so awful?

Hi, it is obvious that women are not as good as men at sport. They cannot run as fast, lift as much, swim as quick, etc. Women's combat sports are also awful, for instance while professional wrestling is scripted it involves a lot of athleticism but women's wrestling (except for some Japanese women) is atrocious. As is women's kickboxing and it is pure delusion and political correctness that is stopping people pointing this out. I sure hope that women are never allowed into the special forces as there is no way they could ever be as good as their male counterparts.

You've answered your own question.

What I mean is that why is there still a pretence that women could compete one on one. Women's football is actually atrocious and quite saddening. I think out of all women, Western women are probably the weakest as they tend to be indulged the most and so that is why women's wrestling in Japan is far superior to women's wrestling in the West (even then they are not as good as their male counterparts).

Women aren't as good so it's less entertaining.

In sports we care about who is best and who wins and comes out at the very top.

I find women's handball far better than the men's... it's far more aggressive and entertaining.
Women's cricket is not awful, its really good. Because they can't bowl as fast or hit the ball as far as men they have developed different techniques that actually make it really good to watch as a spectator.

Handball is like a substandard and more boring version of basketball and only the mentally handicapped would claim that women's basketball is as impressive to watch as men's.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I still find it more interesting and I also watch basketball.

In what way? Surely men possessing greater testosterone compared to women are naturally more aggressive and so this would come out in sport. Normally the only time I have seen men to be aggressive is in a cowardly way, when for instance they will hit a man knowing that the man will not hit them back because of the backward legal system.

It doesn't always work like that, women are often more competitive than men.

Explain? Why would a male professional athlete be less competitive than a female?

You do know I wasn't just specifically talking about just professionals... also, why do you consider women's sport less competitive?

Well for instance in tennis a low ranked male tennis player cleared the field with both the Williams sisters. Obviously there must be something there if a low ranked male is defeated two of the best female tennis players of all time.
I agree with the person on womens handball. Champions League Handball for the men is literally free scoring where the game is a tad bit slower for women with goals less frequent and more work is done around the goal

Also Womens athletics? Cycling? Diving? have extremely talented athletes who perform at a wonderful standard so just because they don't kick the ball around so well you can't say women are awful at sport...

Again on cycling, men are faster and go longer as well. The same on diving.

People who think this are just bitter that men dominate something as high profile and lucrative as sport. Either that or just clueless and don't actually watch sport themselves.

I remember someone on here saying Serena Williams would give Nadal a game.
In what way are female skaters more proficient than the males?
Testosterone doesn't really affect aggression, just putting out there. And you realise that a vast majority of athletes, both men and women, care more about their sport and how far they can go rather than what some spectators or sexist asshats think of them too, right? If you don't like women's sports, just don't watch them. They're not out there to impress you after all.

Female skiers are often technically better than male skiers, who just really on brute force to get down a course.

Women are capable of more technical and complicated movements in events like gymnastics, figure skating and diving.



To say "women's sports are awful" is to show woeful - and deliberate - ignorance.

No that's just being biased there and rank has nothing to do with it. Look at football even the best teams get beaten by lower ranked teams.
