"I hate to think what the women are doing when they are trumping the men! Seriously, though, I think that women do improve in sports which involve endurance, although men still do better on any equal playing field or track."<br/><br/>I add "Oh,  lacrosse! It's the lacrosse world cup final tomorrow in Israel when the USA meet Canada once again. We'll be showing that here."<br/><br/>OOC You might think of lacrosse as a North American sport, which it is, but the Manchester area has had mens' teams for well over a century. In England, more women than men play the sport, although that's not the case in my home area. I remember when I was at university a teacher saying that lacrosse was a sport played only by women. Sussex, where I studied, was not a hotbed, but the town did have a mens's team, and I think it just shows ill-informed some university teachers can be. I can also remember a geography professor there who didn't realise that Dominica and the Dominican Republic were different countries. Rant over!
