Pretty sure the point is fun and entertainment. Some people care about finding the "best," but as the saying goes, it's not about whether you win or lose...

    Who said anything about letting men compete with women?

    So are we men or are we women?

    I've always thought it was strange that we separated some sports by gender, and I still do. Especially because plenty of sports don't separate by gender, and there's no issue.

    Great, so we should take advantage of the fact that we have major and minor leagues and separate by ability into those. If it happens to separate by gender, so be it, but if someone is higher or lower than the average for their gender then they can compete among other people on their level.

    The fact that we separate by gender in spite of how, as this thread points out, there is a large amount of variability within that category that goes against the idea that this addresses the ability gap, just shows that we're not separating for that reason, we're separating for sexual discrimination.

    Sports are dumb, just stop caring.

    Sorry, sports are objectively unimportant. Either way, just stop caring about things that have absolutely no bearing on your life whatsoever and you might find you're much happier. At the very least, less upset.
