OWC's basketball brawl
Several members of the Okaloosa-Walton College women's basketball team have been suspended for one or more games after Saturday's brawl with Tallahassee Community College.
The most surprising part of the whole episode is that the brawl took place at all. As anyone who follows sports knows, it's not unusual for a fight to break out during a game between men. But it's extremely rare for a women's game to end up with fists flying.
Which begs the question: Why are men more prone to fighting than women? Are men genetically more programmed to fight, or is it the something in our upbringing?
Is it nature or nurture? Or am I sexist for even bringing this up? Somebody help me out here.

calling these gals "women" may be generous.
Look at the monkey's. We came from them, right?! Do you not remember high school? The men are the hunters and the women are the gatherers. The men kill the beasts and the women stay close to home to gather plants and to look after the young. The men play baseball and the women play soft. It is just basic genetic science!
Or maybe, just maybe, it could be that we're raised on the influence that men are supposed to be stronger and that we should be "man of the house". When's the last time you heard the phrase "woman of the house?" We are brainwashed to think this way, it has stuck with us through thousands of years of evolution, and evolution is just now starting to second-guess itself. A helluva time to be thinking over its mistakes(?) I might add.
There is a very clear answser to this. Men have set a very, very bad, unprofessional example.
