re soccer: there was a point raised that if men played in the same average, relative conditions that women do, the ball would be as big and heavy as a basket ball.
Maybe someone should actually do this as an exhibition game to demonstrate it? Has there been one?
(I don't mean to sound patronising, even though I probably/definitely do. I'd not thought about it in those terms. Not sure it’s required though, if the sport works as-is?)
In football at least those dimensions have been in place for a long time. The average woman is about the same size as the average man when they were introduced.
Makes a lot of sense. It’s a bit of a moving target. I can imagine the average sizes of rugby players in general have increased significantly in recent times.
