Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2045060, member: 6761"] Welcome to the Board!! Interestingly, of the charges you impute to the women's game, one I don't hear is that the game is slower. It can't be significantly slower, because women score nearly as many points as do the men. I think this is an important point: that, despite being signficantly less physically strong or fast, women score nearly as much because they [B][I][U]tend[/U][/I][/B] to pass more and look for the best shot. (Is it better/different coaching, compensatory behavior to their physical challenges, or psychological predilections based on gender distinctions?) So, to your point of, if an alien species could play the game with greater physical skills, would that diminish appreciation of the men's game, I say that women already [B][I][U]tend[/U][/I][/B] to play a somewhat different game than do men, and it's that difference that we already appreciate.
