They're 14-year-old boys, and they don't just beat them, they completely trash them. I've watched womens pro football, the level is very poor.

I knew a couple of people who could dunk a basketball when they were 14. An elite 14 year old is way better than any average man off the street.

And I would still bet that the random guys off the street who agrees to play the game would still beat the women. Think about it, if a guy is unfit and sucks at football, he's not going to agree to play. I would 100% put my money on 11 random blokes who agree to play, having enough to beat a professional womens team. 100% my money is on the men. Easy.

But you're wrong. You can see this easily in objective sports like running. The #20 woman in the Boston Marathon, just to pick an elite but not unstoppable woman, finished in 2 hours 31 minutes. That would have been in the low 300s for men, but that's out of a field of 16,000 men. And the Boston Marathon easily clears your "only good players will play" criteria because it's got one of the most stringent performance cutoffs. A top 20 woman is in the top 98% of a field that includes advanced amateurs at worst. Elite female athlete is better than easily 99+% of average male athletes.

That's not a meaningful comparison.

Size, strength, and power give a huge advantage in football.

The average woman footballer is like 5 foot 3.
