Hey, now all those fifteen year old boys have to do is start feeling like a girl and they can tryout for their national women’s team. At least if things in Australia are headed in the same direction as here in the US.

But they are still ready to be drafted and forced into combat.

A buddy of mine and I once played an NCAA Div 1 female college basketball player and her boyfriend in a pickup game.

The boyfriend was decent. I’m barely adequate.

They never scored in 5 games. Not. One. Point.

Translate that to combat...

When I was in Jr High school I was on a mediocre boys soccer team that played a girl’s college team. It was easy to beat them. Seems girls are not built for soccer, guys are just very much better at it. I have never found it so easy to steal a ball from someone and to be able to dribble circles around them.

That’s why the “Women’s” NBA always have small crowds.

It’s like paying to see a grade school boys team.

Ditto the LPGA, et al...

But Billy Jean King beat Bobby Riggs, so girls are better than boys. So there!

Several years back my U16 hockey team played a U16 women’s team. It was a no-checking game.

We got demolished. They knew how to pass better, they stayed in their lanes on defense and they ran plays that in a checking league would never have been successful. My players thought skating 1 on 6 with the puck would result in goals. all it did was result in goals coming back the other way because we were out of position.

At the end of the season, as the girls team was preparing for Nationals, they wanted to play us again. My team’s parents were all wee wee’d up because their little babies got embarrassed by a girls team. So I asked the coach of the other team if I can bring my U14’s instead. She agreed.

They didn’t get a shot on net and at the end of the first period we were already winning 9-0. At that point we didn’t even run the score. Just told the coach if she wanted to work on systems we would be more than happy to oblige.

So what would happen if your U14 boys played your U16 boys in a scrimmage game?
