I think part of the appeal for Tiger was being black. He was definitely a great golfer, but he probably doesn't blow up as much if he were just another white golfer. The equivalent to Tiger might be when the first woman makes the NBA or NFL. She'll be insanely popular.
A woman will never make it to the NBA. It wouldn't happen in a million years. Even the best LPGA player or WTA player couldn't SNIFF the PGA or men's Tour. Annika Sorenstam played a lower level PGA event when she was the clear best female player in the world and she couldn't even make the cut.
Serena would get CUT UP by the 500th ranked man on the men's tennis tour just like John Mac said.
The NBA is an EVEN bigger mountain to climb in battle of sexes because the physicality is even more pronounced than in a sport like golf or tennis.

I dunno, Keeth...
Women are some of the best three-point shooters in the WNBA and in college. I understand your thinking in the overall physicality part, but women can out-finesse men in many areas other than just brute strength. I'd be careful about painting such broad strokes in general.

Jimmer Fredette was a great shooter in college, but he's spending his prime years in China. Even very skilled people still need size and other physical gifts to release a shot over NBA defenders, not fall down on every screen, defend, sprint up and down the court, get a rebound, move within team schemes and get open.
Anyway, to get back to what Eddie said, basketball has its own examples of players whose popularity was multiplied by their race - Yao, Lin.
Let's be clear. Tiger Woods is 3/4 Thai, and 1/4 Black, yet the media identifies him as "Black". His father was 1/2 Thai, and 1/2 Black. His Mother was 100% Thai.
ESPN has become a product of Disney who owns them. A Far Left, Progressive propaganda TOOL.

There isn't a woman alive (nor has there ever been) that could compete with the likes of the top 100 in tennis, or golf, or hockey or basketball. I am sorry to say to you but it will never happen.
A GREAT example is the US women's hockey team. They have on occasion competed against high school hockey teams and still lose. Let that sink in your head. And they were playing non-CHECKING in these examples.
I am sorry to break it to you, in physical or even non-physical sports, women can not and never have been able to compete with men.

.
I've never ONCE heard this.
I have heard Earl had some Native American and for sure he wasn't full "black" but I have NEVER heard he was half Thai. I don't know where in the world you heard that. As I said he has a bunch of stuff going on in his ancestry but I have never heard of him being half Thai.
I do agree with you that the MSM has hijacked Woods to their own perverse agenda and I don't believe they are honest in anything they do. I agree with you there.

LOL, Earl Woods father was a black guy from Manhattan, KS. His mother was named Maude Carter (prior to marriage.
I wonder how many Maude Carters are running around Thailand.

With transgenderism basically in its infancy, who knows what will happen in 50 or 100 years. With the right training, genetics and hormones who knows what biological females will be able to do.
The notion that ANY AND EVERY mention of athletes of color means reverse discrimination, so that some dude has to respond with white dudes.........!
