On PTI, they had a segment discussing (in serious terms) the odds an MLS team will sign a player from the women's national team. Wilbon said 60%.

I know they're pretty stupid about this stuff, but seriously?

Yea, that is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long long time.

That's equally dumb as David Stern saying a woman would play in the NBA in 10 years -- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/wr...index.html

Hey, my MFC 90 Boys son played in the net once for the MFC 87 Girls.

I've heard of girls playing on boys teams, but never the other way around. Doesn't seem fair since boys typically are bigger/faster/stronger.

By the way, is Kornheiser still on PTI? I used to listen to his radio show years ago, and he was a soccer HATER.

Every few years soccer gets attention- it can be fun.

Every weekend for nearly 4 months college football gets attention. Always great.

The worst D1 men's team would beat the women's national team- but that whole men v. women's sports thing is a different back and forth. Nor does it change how compelling the women's world cup was.

Hell- I even watch swimming for a week every 4 years!

Exactly. Same applies for basketball. Maya Moore, Candace Parker, or any other elite womens basketball player would get simply dominated in Mens college basketball.

It's a pretty horrible argument, though. That's like saying it's useless to watch college football, because the NFL is more superior talent-wise.

As a mild soccer fan, I found the Women's World Cup to be very enjoyable.

Abby Wambach goes from being the biggest player on the field to being a slow, short, skinny forward that would never get close to a header.

Although she would be checking out the ladies just like the rest of the players.
