None of the women are good enough to play on the "men's" team, which is probably actually an "open" team that women could join if they qualified. Whereas the men are better than the women and are only denied they greater money the women often make, because of sex discrimination. . DON'T VAX, PROPHYLAX! ____________ There is no anger in Me: If one offers Me thorns and thistles, I will march to battle against him, And set all of them on fire.
