(i believe one lost the fiesta bowl for unm a few years ago). <BR/>Also many rugby players, whose leagues are either all male or all female, do play together for fun fairly often (at least all those i knew).<BR/>The greatest impediment (i would use "hurdle" but it's corny)for women althletes in gaining entry to male dominated sports is size. Look at the offensive line of any football team and you'll see men who are 6' and taller with their weight being around 300 and higher. It's something that many women just can't physically match. <BR/>In basketball women just are not as tall as their male counterparts. <BR/>If women are going to enter "male" sports, it will have to be as kickers or in soccor where players are not as freakishly large.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
