I remember when John McEnroe caught a lot of grief for saying that Serena Williams would be ranked around 700 on the men’s tour. Television and movies show 105 lbs. women beating up 250 lbs. men almost constantly. The response to McEnroe was “What, do you think you could beat her?” He was nearly 60 when he said it. That response is simply stupid. If that is your response on these things, I have bad news for you: you’re either stupid or so emotional that you can’t think.
It doesn’t matter if Rhonda Rousey (in her prime, not now) could beat up some old and out of shape guy. She couldn’t beat the worst male MMA fighter in probably any weight class. It also doesn’t matter if Sarah Fuller can kick a football better than some blowhard on a team message board. She wasn’t the best kicker on Vanderbilt’s campus. That was an obvious publicity stunt; frankly, it was a pretty good one. You don’t ever really see “trans men” wanting to compete in men’s sports. There’s a reason for that.
If the Left wants to destroy women’s sports, and it looks like they want to, the irony is as plentiful as the tragedy. This kind of stuff is the “fundamental change” they mean. I would like to see Megan Rapinoe play against a decent male high school team. Real life isn’t like television. Meanwhile, why must women’s sports be destroyed for a handful of weirdos?
Serena Williams herself admitted that she could not even be competitive with the best male tennis players during an appearance on the David Letterman show in 2011 or so.
“Actually it’s funny, because Andy Murray, he’s been joking about myself and him playing a match. I’m like, ‘Andy, seriously, are you kidding me?’ For me, men's tennis and women's tennis are completely, almost, two separate sports. If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe 10 minutes. No, it’s true. It’s a completely different sport. The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder, it’s just a different game. I love to play women’s tennis. I only want to play girls, because i don’t want to be embarrassed. I would not do the tour, I would not do Billie Jean [King] any disservice. So Andy, stop it. I’m not going to let you kill me."
The video of this appearance is still up on YouTube
A few years ago (around 2015) the US women’s national soccer team scrimmaged a boys under-15 academy team located in Dallas. The boys team won 5-2.
