First Woman Ever Plays in a D-1 Men's Baseball Game.

[Cantdoitsal]

As much as I despise Men playin' in Women's Sports, I don't have problem with this as long as it's meritocracy based and not affirmative action. When channel surfing, I often stop a minute and watch some Women's Softball because I find them extraordinarily talented (some talented on another front others not so much) and fun to watch.
And as y'all can see from this article, I don't get my news from just one side of the isle. LOL.

I'm thinking this won't be a long term trend.

Can she coach?

Olivia to STATE.

 

[Drebin]

Can she coach?

No but you can bet she'll be doing some color commentary somewhere.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I'd like to see Mutts take on this.

Beth Mowins of college baseball?

 

[patdog]

Can she transfer midseason? We could use some help here.

 

[cowbell88]

****, it seems like we already have a team full of Sheila’s already!

 

[The Peeper]

Is she really a she or just a dude that identifies as a she?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Can she dunk?

In high school we had girls play on the guys soccer team because we were just starting and didn’t have enough players for girls teams. The girls on our team earned their spot and their playing time.

Does she use the same locker room as the men? Or do they have to make an exception for her? That's where the endless problems lie. On the surface, I don't think anywhere cares if a woman wants to try out men's sports, if they are there due to ability.

Probably not a "baller"

I'm sure we have locker rooms for women which is what I'd prefer. I really don't care either but found the story interesting. And Yes, as long as it's merit based I'm cool with it.
