It seems she was offered a brief coaching internship with the Arizona Cardinals and is no longer attached to any football team.
So, yeah, not the best example you could have used to support your position.Last edited by Mountain Man; 06-21-2018, 10:44 AM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Welter rushed for three carries for −1 yards."

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI think any position other than kicker is far too dangerous for a woman. It's just a simple biological fact that in any head-to-head physical competition, the average woman will be outmatched by the average man. This has nothing to do with bias or discrimination or any other liberal buzzword you can think of.
My point, all along, was that Pix was making absolute claims for which she had only partial data. We know there is a biological difference. We suspect there is also a cultural/social one. We do not know to what degree each contributes to the current gap between men and women. If women were not repeatedly told they couldn't compete against men, would their performance against men increase 1%? 5%? 10%? No data exists to determine this. So a claim that cultural/social influence has "zero impact" is simply not defensible.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

That being said, I suspect because running is a combination of endurance and strength. But I am frankly guessing. I don't know of any data on that.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
