Why is football just for men

[clawhammer]

Why are all the players in the nfl men? I'm watching the superbowl pregame show, and I was just wondering... Is it against the rules or are there no women good enough to play in the nfl

Why are all the NHL teams fileld with men and not women?

actually hockey has 2 wemon players i think both are gollies (sp)

I meant this as a serious question, not a big football fan. I know that football is in general a more manly sport, but that didn't satisfy my question

Switch your tv on and watch the game. Then try to imagine a woman playing with these animals.

It's not hard to imagine a big woman going out there and kicking butt. I am watching the game

Women are not as strong or fast as men. That's the simple answer. I don't know if there is such a thing, but a womens' NFL team would mop the floor with me and my friends - that's if we knew how to play american football. But these aren't normal-sized guys you're looking at.

probably if a female wanted it badly enough she could find a way... but there are plenty of other leagues and sports where they are already satisfied... but yeah these are massive people, and not many females can equal their size.. and if a female can equal their size it usualy has disgusting results.

Okay folks, don't hate me for my comments, but...
While I believe in equal rights/participation for women in sports, there are just some sports that are way to dangerous for women. Even if you did find a woman willing to go up against a bunch of 800 pound gorillas, I will still feel pain watching her get clobbered by a guy in the football field.
American Football, boxing and Hockey should not be played by women in my view. Its just too dangerous. Any other sport, sure.

TS out (not watching the game)

I agree with TS... Youve got guys in the NFL 6'6" 300+ pounds. There may be a couple women on Earth that could compete in the league, but not enough that it's worth it to spend the time trying to recruit women. And besides that, just like twospirits said, even if they are capable of playing, I wouldnt want to see a female get the occasional clobbering like all NFL players do. Not many people do want to see that.

About women in hockey... surely you arent talking about the NHL? I won't believe that until somebody else backs it up.

I am talking about the NHL. Sometimes its worse than a boxing fight. I can't see a female having it out like some of the guys do on the ice rink.

Baseball, Basketball, yes, Boxing, Football (US) and Hockey, No. But thats just me.

TS out

I meant about there being 2 female goalies in hockey. I agree there should not be women in the rinks with the male players. They are too violent. I definitely would not like to see a woman catch a high stick to the forehead, or get checked into a wall and fall unconscious.

[twospirits]

hmmm I really did not know that there was two female goalies in hockey. Heck if they want to subject themselves to bodily harm let them. I guess it makes sense though. Like the saying goes, Nothing gets past a women.

TS out (convincing ex-wife to play hockey)

I could care less about women playing in a man's league. Stop whining about women can play sports just as good as men when they ask for their own seperate league too...
