Now that I think of it, women are really good in volleyball. And even better in beach volley. I've never seen a profesional women team competing with a men's one to be honest but women's volleyball league seems just as profesional as the men's one (at least to me).

Apparently it's not about IQ as men are also far better than women at chess.
Researchers claim that it is just because men play chess more often, when compared to the women (the best male players are extreme outliers on the bell curve, while the best female players are less so).

Believe it or not, maybe of the top female tennis players can't beat male college level players, and even some male high school level players. If you're above-average at tennis, you might have a shot of beating a 100-200+ level tennis player.
Sad but true. Women won't be able to compete with men in sports which requires athletic ability. In other sports, such as chess they may be having a better chance (what is the difference in average IQ for men and women?)

The best woman would not be in the top-500 of the men. The cannot even play best of five because they get tired. The fact they get paid the same in prize money is an outrage. Any male contestant in a grand slam entering the female tournament would win the tournament without dropping a single game.

How about figure skating? I always watch those sport. I like the way they show their panties. 
Or tennis. They sure are good at grunting.
I was thinking tennis.
The top female pros are great, but they rarely get a chance to play the males.
Sadly, not even close on tennis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_(tennis)
The only game won in professional league was against a guy that was retired vs quite literally the world champion. Even at his ripe old age, he still put up a fight.
Quote
A fourth event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams, aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked below 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park. Braasch first took on Venus and beat her 6–2. He then played Serena and won 6–1. Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance." He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun".

I think pretty much Curling only (if any).
All the others aren't accurate I think.
All the others aren't accurate I think.
So with Stock Car Racing how would men have a better advantage then?
Superior physical strength, superior reflexes and superior split second risk evaluation and decisiveness.
Do we have any evidence to support that males have better reflexes? I don't know many people to support such a thing.
if we assume women where gathers while men where hunters, and that men fought other men for the right to mate, i could see how men have or need faster reflexes. however i would be interested in a scientific test. i have been bewildered before.
Yes, I do not have scientific evidence for any of my claims here. That includes physical strength (of which I am completely sure).

(it's about people cleaning the floor with a broom)
ha!
I didn't mean to insult one of your favorite sports
no, not at all. it is what it is. honestly it is hard as fuck to play. if you get a chance you should really try it.
Oh I'm sure it is. Any sports with needs more skill and dexterity than determination, stamina, physical strength and discipline is going be hard for me

huge chess and curling fan here (yeah im odd as fcuk)
men are so much better at curling, just like in chess. the top 4 men vs the top for women would be like this years gold metal event with canada vs england.
well okay maybe the top four girls would not be as bad as england but it would be damn close.
Ah, my opinion must be based on blatant sexism then (it's about people cleaning the floor with a broom)
Then we're going to end with: no sports ever.
