Thread Name: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
IB, maybe WAV is hoping for the blancmanges to turn all of England into Scots (an old Monty Python episode for any of you shaking your head now asking wtf?). Unlike the ending of that episode though, WAV is probably ensuring that it won't be a woman in the finals of Wimbledon, since WAV believes (and this is from his own writings mind you) that women are better suited to table tennis rather than tennis. I want to really know WAV, how you think this-for real? I know you play some tennis, but why do I get the feeling that the lowest ranked woman on the pro circuit probably would kick your ass? Why are they better suited to table tennis? Please explain that. People in your opinion are trying to "get" you on racism, but I really want to know about this. There are an awful lot of women here on mudcat, and saying to all of them effectively that you think they are better suited to the sport of table tennis (which by the way, when played at the professional level is no walkover of a sport) is, I think, a real slap in the face. Explain, without resort to a god damn poem.
