With the advent of Libby Lenton's 51.91 WR in the 100m free. I propose a swim off and battle of the sexes. Paul "the evil" Smith (45) representing Bobby Riggs vs. Libby Lenton (20) as Billie Jean King. My money rests on the female. John Smith

    Originally posted by MichiganHusker I just think some sports are better left to men and some other sports are better left to the women. Hmmmm....have to disagree here. I DO believe in equal access, I just think it is unrealistic to think that performance will be equal at the top, for the reasons I suggested earlier. If we are going to leave some sports to men and some other sports to women, who gets to decide? What if the "deciders" say that women swimmers "creep" them out......no more swimming for women?
