Yeah, but he won't quit the game, he just won't speak to you and give no quarter. But when he loses three times in a row. He's mad the rest of the day. Just so competitive.

1. No, i dont play sports, except in gym, but i do enjoy them.

2. I love playing individual(fencing, archery) sports, I also like badminton and tennis, i hate sports that are too competitive.

3. Football(north american), its too boring.

4. I think that anyone could play any sport that they want, they should have a mixed team and a boys team and a girls team, that way if you want to play with the other gender, you have the oppurtunity to.

5. I'm not sure, we can do pretty much anything they can do, i think jsut eh weight lifting type sports, becuase women are weaker overall.

(1) Nope
(2)Don't play.
(3)Well, soccer and baseball
(4)Women are not meant to play sports that men already have a hard time playing. And if a football team of women played against a team of men, I would say that the odds are on the men's side. :duh: So I think that would be pointless.
(5)A sport that comes to mind is football and wrestling. One being they are very demanding as far as physical strength and, well, are meant to bring out the man in men.

[01] Do you play sports?
Hmmm yes.


[02] What sports do you like to play? What sports do you despise to be a part of?
Loads. Competitive archery, soccer, badminton, swimming, skating, hockey, volleyball, basketball, baseball.. I despise football. Once we were doing a demo in class and the teacher whipped the ball to hard at my by accident and he broke my thumb.


[03] In fact, what sports do you feel are completely pointless, even to watch?
Curling. Table tennis.


[04] Should women/men be strictly allowed to play girl/boy sports? Should teams in one sport be mixed or seperated to boy/girl?
I personally think it shouldn't matter. Well you can't have group of women competing against one group of men. Biologically, men have more physical strength than women. So it's fair if you have women vs. women, men vs. men, equally divided co-ed vs. equally divided co-ed.


[05] What sports do you feel women would have an extremely difficult time playing as well as men?
"As well as".. as in "also"? Or "as good as"? :confused:

Great answers guys. I like the views on the boring/pointless sports.

[01] Do you play sports?

Not really, but I watch all the time.


[02] What sports do you like to play? What sports do you despise to be a part of?
I like playing backyard football with my brothers and their friends, but only because I know they'll let me and my team win. I also enjoy basketball and baseball with the same group of people.

I despise tennis.

[03] In fact, what sports do you feel are completely pointless, even to watch?
Hunting, fishing, and pingpong.


[04] Should women/men be strictly allowed to play girl/boy sports? Should teams in one sport be mixed or seperated to boy/girl?

Men are natually bigger than women, and in most contact sports would just kill us women. I don't see why we couldn't have a WNFL, (womens football league, lol! what an idea! :P) but I can't think of a single woman I know who'd play in it.

[05] What sports do you feel women would have an extremely difficult time playing as well as men?

American football. There just isn't any way that women can take the hits that men will give each other; men are just naturally stronger.

Yay surveys! :P

[1]Not at the moment. Does work count? :P

[2]I enjoy swimming, skating, skiing, tennis. Not the most "conventional" sports, I know. I hate having to play baseball, soccer, and football, except when its just a fun family scrimage game.

[3]Haha, pingpong for sure! (Its the official sport of China!) Curling is big here, but it is so boring, and I don't think bowling should be a sport either!

[4]I understand that men and women are built quite differently, but I do think that women who are physically able to keep up with the guys should be able to play on their teams.

[5]Football and hockey come to mind.

[01] Do you play sports?
yes I do


[02] What sports do you like to play? What sports do you despise to be a part of?
i play soccer ( but not for a while now), I kinda play volleyball, my dad's teaching me golf, I ride western, I'll play softball with friends, and I run in school during athletics
I despise ( In horse back) the bow tie!!!!!! so many turns and so many cones!!! and ....football I don't like to play that too much at all and basket ball because I suck at it....



[03] In fact, what sports do you feel are completely pointless, even to watch?
...... uh.....I guess curling because I don't get it at all and even though i play golf it is very very boring to watch ....and I guess that's it..wait no racing as in like the Indy 500 and stuff like that....


[04] Should women/men be strictly allowed to play girl/boy sports? Should teams in one sport be mixed or separated to boy/girl?
No to both. I think you should be able to (if you wanted to ) sign up for like every sport you want and (if you want) sign up for Co-Ed. I have these feelings because I want to rope but has anyone every seen a female roper in a rodeo?

[05] What sports do you feel women would have an extremely difficult time playing as well as men?
Women ( I know this ) can have a very hard time playing golf because sometimes things get in the way
For men I think (even though tis ...has never stopped them) that saddle bronc would be hard oh well thats just me though

[01] Do you play sports? I play volleyball, water polo, and swimming.


[02] What sports do you like to play? What sports do you despise to be a part of? I love swimming and I hate basketball...I'm terrible at it

[03] In fact, what sports do you feel are completely pointless, even to watch? Tennis and Golf

[04] Should women/men be strictly allowed to play girl/boy sports? Should teams in one sport be mixed or seperated to boy/girl? I think girls can play whatever they feel like and It should be mixed.

[05] What sports do you feel women would have an extremely difficult time playing as well as men? Football, because woman(I think don't get mad at me) are more fragile and would get hurt WAY easier than the men do

[01] Do you play sports?

No. I'm terrible at it. I'm the least athletic person I know. There are only a few exceptions: fencing and swimming

[02] What sports do you like to play? What sports do you despise to be a part of?

As above mentioned, fencing and swimming. I've never had any proffesional instruction in fencing, I just pick up what I can. My friends and I use dowel rods, and have spent hours and hours practicing together. Swimming, I've taken swimming lessons over the years, and actually am OK at it. However, I don't like it as much as fencing. Sports I don't want to be a part of? Football mainly, but also most things that take ridiculous amounts of running.

[03] In fact, what sports do you feel are completely pointless, even to watch?

FOOTBALL. Who ever invented that anyway? It's so pointless. The people run for a few seconds, stop, sit around for a few minutes, run for a few seconds, try to kill each other...

[04] Should women/men be strictly allowed to play girl/boy sports? Should teams in one sport be mixed or seperated to boy/girl?

I don't really think that there should be specific girl or boy sports, though there are some lines... for instance, I don't think girls should play football. It's too physical. Or wrestling or boxing; those certainly are not the realm of women. I think teams should be seperate; it just makes sense, and regulates things more. Men tend to be better at sports than women, so the teams would end up all men if they were choosing from both men and women for places on it.

[05] What sports do you feel women would have an extremely difficult time playing as well as men?

Well, football, as if that mattered.

[01] Do you play sports? Nope. Dont like 'em one bit.

[02] What sports do you like to play? What sports do you despise to be a part of? I am fond of Archery though, and tennis. I despise Football, baseball...

[03] In fact, what sports do you feel are completely pointless, even to watch? Baseball and Basketball.

[04] Should women/men be strictly allowed to play girl/boy sports? Should teams in one sport be mixed or seperated to boy/girl? I think it is okay to mix boys and girls together in teams, while sometimes, its nice just to have a boy team or girl team.

[05] What sports do you feel women would have an extremely difficult time playing as well as men? Football, because some women are not as strong and tough as mean..hehe..

01. yes

02. I love 2-hand touch football, eventing, and horse racing( which I do with my friends, it not the real thing) and Rock climbing. I hate being apart of baseball.

03. Rugbee and golf

04.I think that we should have seperate teams in tackle football because boys tend to hit harder than girls(I tend to get hurt also). But other than that we should be able to play sports together.

05.Rock Climbing

Also there is one sport men will never be able to do or try to do........Dishwashing!!
