Years ago, I saw the women’s national ice hockey team play the boys at Choate prep school in an exhibition game. The women would go on to play (and win the gold, I think) in the Olympics but they got demolished by Choate, 6-1. But, the boys were boys in age only as most were 6‘-6’5” and 200 lbs of muscle. Many went on to get college scholarships. Nothing was learned by either team from this game.
These male-female athletic contests only provide fodder for the talking heads to make fun of women’s sports. I don’t know why women persist in feeding them straight lines.
