The New Season TV Shows...
 

What's tickling your fancy?....

I like:

Graves
Berlin Station
Loosely Exactly Nicole
Van Helsing

And a few others I can't remember ATM...

Any input?....

Black Mirror

That is pretty good...

Any more I should have an eye on?..

I've been watching a show called Pitch which is a story about a woman who becomes the first female to play Major League Baseball. It's light, and is potentially a fantasy story, but I like baseball so I have been enjoying it as a guilty pleasure of sorts not to mention the girl that they got to play the female lead it gorgeous.

I read the info before and was just not going to watch it - Maybe I will give it a go...

I bet it is as acceptable to feminist, libbies and similar types for a woman to play in mens' league as it is for a man to play in a womens'.

It's not a documentary - Also why not mixed leagues? - The best get in, male or female...

Westworld

I must be one of the few that can't get into that...

I wonder how it would look. NBA - only men would be best. WNBA - only men (who did not make NBA's cut) would also be better than all of the women.

There isn't a lot of motivation for guys to go in the other direction and join a female league because of the money. The average NBA player makes $4.6 million dollars per year. The average WNBA player makes about $70K. There are a lot of jobs out there a guy could get that pay about that much without the embarrassment of being "that" guy.

No embarrassment if leagues were mixed, as Eddy suggested. Than it would be "league1" and "league2". WNBA was a misleading example.

I said a mixed league, the NBA - If you have to have single sex leagues that's OK - I am saying that only the best get in to the NBA - If no women cut it then no women it is...

Why is that wrong?....

If all leagues were "mixed" they would likely look a lot like they do today. The biggest leagues say "league1" would be all men with maybe a female in a smaller role, for example in the NFL they might have a female kicker. League2 might be a little more mixed, but it would still be like things are today in that few people would watch it. In the US football is the #1 sport by a long ways, yet very few people follow arena football or any other non-NFL pro leagues.

Saw the first 2 episodes of Black Mirror season 3 and it was great. The second one would be great for a Halloween watch.

Are you old enough to remember 'Tales Of The Unexpected'?..

It was pretty good - Black Mirror is pretty much an updated version.....

You said leagues so I assumed you meant all of them being mixed was your proposal.
So to be clear - your proposal is to have one mixed league and multiple male only and female only leagues?

I used the plural because I was referring to all sports...

I was proposing that the mainstream leagues with the real money should be open to the best - Whoever they are.....

I pretty much like Westworld so far.
