I can well see it in Cricket, Golf or even Soccer judging by our present day players, but Rugby surely not?

What ever happened to the crazy Italian football president who signed a female player or, more importantly, what ever happened to her? I think the same guy also signed a Gadaffhi.

Women's and men's bodies are built differently and therefore move differently. So men's and women's football, rugby, whatever, will always be different games. To talk about sex equality is missing that point.

i like women's football, am pleased that they are getting some recognition at last, i don't think that the male, female sports can be mixed, or most, men by and large are physically stronger, having said that i rooted for Nicola Adams in the boxing at the summer Olympics, she was outstanding.

womens golf is played on much shorter courses, These courses are also less technical than mens courses. The other problem is that a lot of female golfers tend to leave the sport due to starting families or moving into the media industry. The clue here is that there is no womens senior tour.
