Can you imagine a match between, say, Newport County and one of these fat ladies in bikinis. If the men went at it full throttle each tackle would likely dislocate joints and/or break limbs. Speed is crucial in football and given that men are 15% quicker than women the men would run rings round the women, both figuratively and literally.
