Brittney Griner is possibly the greatest women’s basketball player ever. She is a senior at Baylor University. She is very tall (6’8”) and is the first woman I’ve ever seen dunk a basketball. She is talented and is very physical. She absolutely dominates that game.
Many people think that she would be competetive on a men’s team.
I saw her play UConn a couple of weeks ago in person. There is no way that she would be competetive on a men’s team. She is far too scrawny and isn’t fast enough. She wouldn’t stand a chance against college men, and would probably get hurt pretty bad in a good high school match-up.
I can appreciate women’s sports for what they are. More finness, but less physical. But they will never be able to compete on a men’s team on anything higher than a high school level in any sport that requires physical strength. Especially football.
Heck, I’m no physical specimen at all, but even I (at my peak) was faster than any woman that has ever lived.

I am sorry but I would not call the WNBA more finessed than men’s basketball.
I would call all women’s contact sports that men also play, more AWKWARD and slower-moving than the men’s game. All others are generally more slower than the men’s equivalent.
There aren’t that many men overall who can run faster than a 10.49 for the 100-meter dash.
On the other hand, the best male para-olympian did break that record.
Over what distance?
“I (at my peak) was faster than any woman that has ever lived.”
Are you sure?

...for some reason, I highly doubt the veracity of that statement...
