People have been trying to bridge the gender gap in sports for decades. I remember in high school how we had a girl on the football team and she was good but not good enough to go on to college. I think that had to do with skill not gender discrimination. The track star that does not fit the gender norm for female and won some medal would probably argue that have only guy and girl sports discriminates against her(?).
So in the days of the NBA pulling in billions of dollars and the WNBA pulling in a couple dollars I sit back and wonder, how can this problem be solved? Someone beat me to it. Do not discriminate based on gender, discriminate based on ability only. This weekend, Bend Oregon is hosting the Mustache and Beard championships for the US National team. I will venture to guess that mostly males will be competing in that. No one is going to complain because although some women could compete in that competition, I do not think they would choose to do so. Other sports need to start doing this. I propose a basketball league that allows people to compete only if they short hair. This measure would mainly keep the basketball players with long sweaty hair from playing and splashing floor seats with sweat. And we know this would help eliminate lay-up break-aways often seen in the WNBA because I think it is their hair that keeps them from jumping high enough to dunk.

I also propose offering competitive cooking rules being amended to exclude anyone without breasts. This way only women and people who REALLY like food can compete. This seems common sense to me and the benefits could be fantastic. This could help promote gender stereotypes and save the economy. How? Think about this, in the good olde fifties, there were not very women working in the workforce, they were staying at home which left more jobs for men. If that happens again then the jobless rate will fall instantly. If the unemployed women stop looking for jobs, BANG! Jobless rates fall and pay increases. Obama should start paying me for solving national issues quickly and efficiently. America saved.
