Have you ever stopped to think about how much it sucks to watch most women's athletic sporting events? Me neither. However there are certain sports that have their place with the different genders. I feel like the category of "sports" is an almost entirely male dominated field. Kind of like how make-up is an almost entirely dominated field. One reason for this could be a masculine response to competition. It's a fact that lot of guys live to compete with one another. There's something about a 'need to win' attitude. I'd say generally, women don't show this same level of competition. That's not saying women don't get competitive.
Football, lacrosse, bull-riding, hockey, bowling and The World's Strongest Man Competition are some of the sports, from a spectator's standpoint, that are rightly male dominated. When you watch any of these sports, it's just more entertaining to watch guys perform the activities these sports entail. Who honestly wants to watch women's hockey, or the World's Strongest Women Competition? Gross. I think that these sports, maybe with the exception of lacrosse, should only be played by males. Some sports are in the fringe between male sports and unisex sports. It's still acceptable, and even encouraged for women to participate in, however the scene is pretty much male dominated. These would be ping-ping, NASCAR, and extreme sports like rock climbing, mountain biking, skateboarding, snowboarding, wakeboarding… list goes on and on. NASCAR is an interesting sport, because you don't ever see the driver until the end of the race. It could be a women driving the whole time and no one would ever know. That's pretty much the only thing interesting about it though. Women should stay away from bowling though.
There are a few sports out there that should remain dominated by females. There's the category of dancing, in which I've included cheerleading, ballet, and stripping. These could even be considered activities, but some call them sports. Either way, they should stay in the female corner. Men should only be spectators, and not be allowed to participate in them. Some of the others include beach volleyball, running and tennis. It's probably ok for guys to play and compete in beach volleyball, but no one needs to watch them. As the picture clearly shows any televised beach volleyball event should only consist of scantily clad women. It's ok for a guy and a girl to play tennis together, however guy vs. guy tennis shouldn't be allowed. Men might run faster than women, but who wants to watch a guy run? Who wants to watch anyone run? Running shouldn't be a sport. Cheerleading can be a sport if they want.
