I have never heard that chicks can't play sports. They can, and when a women's game is on TV, there are more people watching, than any of the men's sports.
Take softball, especially at the college level....some of the finest athletes in the country are playing softball. Cat Osterman is one good example...she is the BEST pitcher in the world, even better than that dirt grabber from Tennessee, Monica something.... (can't remember her last name)....
