Should Women Be Allowed To Compete With Men in Sports?

I do not believe women should try to compete with men in sports. The main reason is because women just are not as strong and tall as men. It is not fair for women to have to compete against men who are one hundred pounds heavier and much taller than they are. Some women are just as skilled as men but simply do not have the physical attributes that men do. Some sports such as bowling or billiards that do not require a lot of strength, should be able to be co-ed. Women have just as good as a chance to beat men in those sports. But when it comes to basketball, baseball, or football there should be no question that women should not be playing with men. Some people think that Brittney Griner, a women's basketball player at Baylor University, should play in the NBA. Even some NBA owners think that she could play in the NBA. She has a very special skill set and is very good and in the women's basketball.  Even though she is six foot eight, I still do not think she would be very successful playing men's professional basketball. I think she would benefit a lot if she stayed playing women's basketball.

Women should just compete against other women in contact sports so that they are on a level playing field. They should work to promote women’s sports as exciting, competitive events in themselves. For non-contact sports, I think it should be a level playing field and that women should be able to compete with men.
