Re: 2K Halftime Announcer Damon Bruce in Hot Water Over Rant on Women

If women want to enter [insert "men league" here] then let them be. They, along with everyone else know the dangers, if they want to play, let them play , if they get into some trouble, they should acknowledge that they knew stuff like that would happen.

I always say this about everything, anything isn't impossible until you try. And with the case of women, it's not impossible for them to get into these leagues until they try and see what happens.

Sure. Why not? I mean, we have to expect that NFL players aren't stupid around woman, if something happens, the only person who is fully responsible are the people in action. There's been worse things in the world that players have done, I'm sure a woman wouldn't distract people a lot unless they try to be distracting.

This is pure bull s**t. I have a feeling that you have no clue on what you are talking about here.

First let me deal with this:

Seriously, do you want to go here? Most guys, even if they played high school sports really don't know anything about being in a professional sports culture. On the other hand, being the wife, daughter or girlfriend of an elite level athlete can give you insights that most will never understand. If you are male or female, being a part of a sports culture is not based upon your gender - it is based on so much more, including life experiences, intelligence and even education.

Secondly, let me address this:

You obviously have never been inside a women's "locker-room" environment. The differences have nothing to do with over-sensitivity... being sensitive has nothing to do with gender.

Men and women have a common culture because we are all part of the same society. Men and women are not a separate caste in the United States and Canada like some Indian cultural system .

The issue with Damon Bruce is that he is advocating that access be separated by gender - and that is just plain unacceptable and wrong in today's world.

Now lets go back to gaming and the NBA.

Hey man, that's why they joined, they know what could happen and they are willing to join even though they could get hurt like the next guy. The media would over do it of course, but like a lot of other stories , they will die off .

There's practice squad to the at least learn the feel.

If a woman is brave enough and is willing to take the hard work and training, they're fine. It doesn't matter what sport it is. Women are people but with different body parts as men. They can the same/more work ethic as a man. They can even just be practice squad to know the feeling against pros in training. Every sport is trying to be more safe with technology advancing quickly now anyways, so it's inevitable that some women joins a national sports league maybe not be a star, but a regular player.
