I can see professional women baseball teams but not mixed with men
There's a reason the sexes have separate teams.
shareActually there isn't other than sexism. There are women who are a heck of lot better baseball players than some of these men. Contrary to the over inflated ego of some baseball can hardly be called an athletic sport. Have you seen some of these out of shape men on the field. Some of you are starting to believe your own hype. There is no biological reason whatsoever that women cannot be just as great at baseball as men NONE
shareYes there is on average men are physically stronger than women.
shareTrue, but it seems to me there's a lot of standing around in baseball.

That is very true and her dad pointed that out to her in the show. He told her that she will never be as strong as a man so he taught her to throw the screwball which we have yet to see being used.
shareLet's grant your (vague) premise that "on average men are physically stronger than women". We're talking about lifting *beep* and other power feats, right?
How is that a good reason for women and men to have separate teams?
Let's mix them up and see if women can compete.
You're assuming we need your protection when we didn't ask for it. It's all nice and all but the fact you assume men would just beat women to the ground doesn't make it a good reason for the segregation to exist in the first place.
Unless men are scared that women might actually compete and prove your premise wrong.

No...countless studies have proven men are physically stronger than women. Why don't female MMA fighters fight men? Men are stronger deal with it. share
Female world cup soccer teams have been beaten by junior league boys teams multiple times. Is it really so hard to admit that women are physically weaker? Just look at the stats of any olympic sport. There isn't a single one were women even come close to men and pretty much any team sport is just a combination of a couple of those olympic disciplines. How about being honest to yourself and others and admit that there is a difference.
shareno biological reason.... Not, sure, if, serious... The 'out of shape men' are probably the players who can hit home runs and hit twice as far as women.. because you know... biological reasons...
shareLet the sponsers of this show decide.
sharePlease name a few of those women who "are a heck of lot better baseball players than some of these men." By some of these men, you are referring to actual professional MLB players, right?

Get out of your own echochamber. Sexism is not the reason why there haven't been any women in the MLB. There is no glass ceiling, stop lying to yourself.

Sexism isn't a one way street.
And female sexism is the one and only reason there are no women in the MLB.
Not because males think they're not good enough but because females know they need their own leagues and brackets to get a fair result.
Just look at the one sport without any gender differentiation...Chess.All women can compete and yet every time one does they lose terribly :)

Actually there isn't other than sexism.
Without sexism professional female athletes wouldn't exist. If all sports were gender neutral meritocracies then men would dominate from top to bottom. share
The difference between male and female athletes is huge. Our womens' national olympic level teams routinely get trounced in tune-up games against boys high school level teams.
Assuming that eventually there will be a female "good enough" to play at the mlb level there will probably be 10 or more males that are better. So ultimately signing her would just be a publicity stunt.
I'd actually love to see that. Give them what they want and watch how female athletes completely disappear in a year's time.
