Co-ed sports is something that should not be considered

 

Co-ed sports do not exist most of the time at schools, especially colleges, because of physical differences and this is all the more reason why co-ed sports should not be allowed.

Cerritos College does not offer co-ed sports and in my opinion should keep it that way.

Men and women have different physical capabilities and it is a fact that the vast majority of men are stronger than women.

Due to the physical differences and strength discrepancy between men and woman, sports have been separated to keep the playing field fair and safe.

Imagine football being mixed with both men and women. A 250-pound linebacker charging at a 150-pound woman doesn’t exactly seem like the safest scenario.

By sports being separated it gives a more equal playing field.

Why would someone would want to integrate men and women on to the same team?

Men and women are completely different and that needs to be accepted.

Neither is better than the other there are just physical differences and the separation of sports is a healthier choice than integration.

Sports are separated with different teams for men and woman to join. There could not be a more equal solution than this.

With separate teams men and woman are able to perform to their maximum capabilities and the mixture of testosterone and estrogen will not play an advantage or disadvantage to the teams.

    By the way, Quinton Smith, one of your comments says, “I think You are stupid. Look, girls can be stronger than men but in the vast majority guys beet girls 9 out of 10 times. Your are autistic to think that men and women are exactly the same on a physical standpoint because they are not. There are serious imbalances in their physical capabilities,” and honestly, you are so uneducated. I could point out a few grammatical errors, but I don’t think comments need to be perfect, people write them fast, so that’s fine. Although I disagree with your standpoint on the co-ed sports debate as well, my biggest issue is with your “Your are autistic to think that men and women are exactly the same on a physical standpoint because they are not.” In case you were wondering, calling someone autistic is in no way an insult. People with autism can be and are smart, funny, creative, and awesome to hang out with. Connecting autism with stupidity is just, well, stupid! Educate yourself, please, before you embarrass yourself further with your lack of knowledge on this topic.

    How about the nonbinary and non male or female athletes, or genderfluid people? They literally can’t play sports on a team because there aren’t any for their genders unless they seek out a rare co-ed team! People (right away I saw OskarLundberg’s comment which was ridiculously exaggerating) act like women are guaranteed to be, like, a fourth of the size of a man. Globally, on average men are about four and a half inches taller than women. Also, human bean, homophobic much? Men can flirt with other men on an all men’s team, and the same goes for women. The title of this article is “Co-ed sports is something that should not be considered,” and I agree with that statement. It shouldn’t be simply considered, it should be guaranteed.

      It wasn’t a homophobic comment. lets be real, it’s a lot more common for people to flirt with the opposite gender because more people tend to be straight. Sure, men can flirt with each other on sport teams, but its not nearly as common. And as to the gender fluid problem, they don’t just magically lose the privilege to play sports, they just have to sign up for whatever gender team they were born as, it doesn’t mean they have to identify as any gender.

    Ok…I read the first few lines and I already disagree, women are a lot stronger than men…for example, in soccer, women may get all bloody and say they can still play but when men get poked they lay on the ground crying…I’m not reading any more of this. If there were start on here I would still be considering if you should get no stars or no stars.

      If you look at the strongest man and the strongest woman who is stronger the man or the woman? The answer would be the woman.

    I feel like this statement could be argued. Women and man have equal rights as it says in the 1972 LAW. If a women tries hard enough, she can be as strong or stronger as man. There are many benefits to this. 1 being that if girls and boys played together, the depression rate is low, your social life expands, you have a better chance of getting into college, better grades, and most importantly staying fit which is something that my generation has lost. I’ve been playing hockey with boys for a long time until I switched to a girls league. But those years were the best ones of my athletic career. I only switched because I had uni offers. Girls and boys need each other and most importantly it offers competition and we see each other as a friend, not an intimidation.

    This is SO not true. Men and Women should be allowed to play the same sports, because in the end of it, women’s sports don’t make it in the professional league, and why should girls have to convert to different sports just because of their gender?

    All my life I’ve been forced to play coed. Even at the elderly stage, there is such a difference between men and women playing sports that in some places it is not allowed. If it’s for fun, that is a whole different story.

    This dude is right. I want to see the women’s soccer team go up against the men’s. the men’s would whoop them. Us men scientifically have bigger bone mass and stronger muscles. yea women can get muscles to but they are wayyyyy smaller then men’s. you can say what you want but don’t try to say a FACT is wrong just because your feelings get hurt.

    Okay so all of you are right. Yes girls and women can live up to be very physical and equal to a mans capabilities. But just say you were new in a coed sport and the other team had a strong good male player and you were your teams strongest player. It wouldnt be living up to be you. With others that acel farther than you in a quicker amount of time it is hard to keep up and learn yourelf. So it would bebetter to LEARN with your own gender and skill level.

    Equality has nothing to do with it. If the girls have their own team and the boys have their own team, were is the inequality. Also, teamwork is built on non coed teams anyway. Communication skills are irreverent in your argument. Communication skills are built either way. What lesson will it teach?

    This whole article is so not true. we should have coed teams for the fact of equality and teamwork. Being in a coed team will help you communicate in the real world and will teach you a lesson. Coed teams will also teach little kids how to work together. This is why schools should have coed teams.

    Actually, they should not be coed bcuz In 2016 Olympics the slowest time in men’s 100m was 10.06, and the world record for women 100m is 10.46, which has remained unbroken since 1988

      I believe that a lot of girls are stronger than boys without even trying! I believe that so many girls and women are much better than men and boys at sports. When you say sports to someone people do not usually think of women sports but one day that will change!

        Zoey, I’m really sorry about these boys. They obviously have never been in the real world. Oh wait, of course, it’s because one of them is 13. What you’re saying are your beliefs and they don’t need to be bombarding you for them. Thank you for standing up for all the women out there and I really respect what you’re saying here. I hope you keep on voicing your beliefs and have a wonderful day!
