I strongly disagree with this quote from The Week That Was.
"In track and field, the women are treated much more similarly to men than any other sport in the world. If meets start becoming male- and female-only, you’re likely to see the outcome skew towards what happens in other sports — the men get much more attention, exposure and money as that’s what the fans prefer to watch."
How many sports do the brojos watch? Have they heard of biathlon? Or cross-country skiing? Or alpine skiing? Or triathlon? Or swimming? Or rowing?
In fact there are a lot of other sports that treat both genders equally.
Televised team sports are a different story.
