Should an athlete's gender determine whether or not they will be allowed to participate in any sport they choose?
Whenever the topic of letting women play sports with men comes up, there are always people who have their own distinct opinions of what should happen. It is almost like bringing up the topics of religion or politics within a large group. People's ideas on the subject might agree with a main view, but each person sees minor respects of that topic from a little different perspective. So, what are some of the ideas for or against letting women play in men's sports leagues and vice versa?
In today's society, with its rapidly changing ideas of what is right, wrong, or indifferent this subject is bound to come up.

They have made some great strides along the way and achieved many things to help in the advancement of all women.

This truly is a noble idea, but is it best for the women athletes and the sports in which their influence will be felt?
