The problem is the misconceptions of Women's sport as some including you for an example are still comparing Women to Men in equivalent sports in terms of standards and skills.
You yourself do this with the comment that "Women's tennis is less skilful and less powerful than Men's Tennis"- Can you back up this opinion ?
The Women play all the shots the Men do for an example serve, forehand, backhand, volley, half-volley, overhead, drop shot and lob and that takes skill no matter how hard the ball is hit.
Jim Courier rated Ash Barty's Backhand slice technique the best in the world and better than Roger Federer's - mmm how could that be as Women are less skilful at Tennis in your view

And also in Cricket " they can't bowl as fast - spin it as much or hit as far as the men - they drop more catches have have more misfields and mishits so it's not as good a quality as the men"
Can you back up this opinion?
For an example Alyssa Healy could hit the ball further than quite a few of the Men Players

I don't want to get into womens sport bashing with you because that's not what I'm trying to do at all - but please you are grasping at straws with your arguments with a couple of one offs that's are questionable at best.Last edited by The Lip; 04-24-2022, 11:54 PM.

If the balls being hit at 150kms an hour instead of 200 kms then it goes to directly say it's less powerful and and pretty much directly say there was less skill in getting it back.

bobby riggs, who had been a very good tennis player but at age 55 wasn't at his peak, beat margaret court easily and was able to take a set off bj king in the seventies. i don't think anyone would suggest that the best woman playing tennis would be competitive on the men's circuit in the foreseeable future. that's why there's a separate women's circuit and separate women's comps for a lot of the major sports. rugby league is no different. doesn't mean men's tennis is better to watch than women's tennis - watching ash barty was a delight.
