The picture is different on either sides of the gender coin. On the men's side there really is no future in soccer. They end up fighting for half as much scholarship money as the women have and the pro path really doesn't pay that well except at the very top. The men have other options that are far more lucrative at every level so a natural selection process happens there. The boys who play soccer really are the runts of the litter. On the women's side the scholarship money is much more plentiful and while there really isn't any money at the pro levels the game is generally going to capture the best and brightest female athletes.

The kids that are out of breath when they run one length of the field, yet soccer players are running the field often for 40 minutes. Completely agree that soccer players are weaker. You are smoking crack.
