You're comparing apples and oranges. Annika is one player. A WNBA team is what, 12 players? We're not talking about the average team kicking the crap out of the Lakers, who if I'm not mistaken, are championship-caliber.

We're talking about the top female player merely holding her own with some of the best male players.

I don't think anyone said she would eat Tiger's lunch.

Actually, some folks here DID say women are just as good athletes as men, everything else being equal. I responded to 2 comments on FR since this story broke:

1) A poster said Sorenstam would routinely beat MOST of the PGA tour men - I objected, and by the way, I did it to them directly, not piling on third-party;

2) The poster on this thread, who after 5 good holes, called my scrotum into question for merely pointing out the course was short and the longer ones would pose a much more difficult problem.

I have never once insulted Anaka or women in general, hell, I don't care about her playing here and she did fine today. But let's not live in a dreamworld.
