Sexism wouldn't affect that much in sports. Only the best are choosen and there are sports where women tend to be as good or even better than man. But not in all of them. And that's the problem. What would hurt the participation of women will be the natural differences between the two genders. Not what people think of women participating in this or that sport.

As of changing/shower, there's no mindchanging policy that would prevent straight men for being attracted to women and straight women attracted to men. That's our nature. And that attraction walks along with the embarassment around seeing another people naked, specially people from another gender.  If we could use the same bathrooms, same shower rooms, same changing rooms and stuff, then there would be no need for clothes. Let everybody walk naked everywhere and that's about it.

Oh I expect it would! You say the best are chosen which is true, but that will be the issue since most of the time men will be the best, and not by a small margin either. So when none of the good teams hire women and the ones that do get hired aren't paid anywhere near as much (because they're not as good) the complaints that would generate...

Maybe I had not expressed myself very well. Saying Neymar is better than my girlfriend in soccer is not sexism. Picking the best is not sexism. Sexism is a prejudiced form we perceive things. Like thinking that a woman cannot drive just because she's a woman. That is sexism and that's not true at all. But realizing Sharapova plays better than me (I love to play tennis) isn't sexism. It's just true. Of course she would get higher payment. And if we only have a unisex football league, for example, of course that will be more men than women. That's why I'm totally against unified leagues. It wouldn't work not because of sexism, not because a prejudiced form of view, it wouldn't work because of the natural differences between genders. Same reason why a transgender man shouldn't compete with a woman, because in biological terms, he's still a man and that would be unfair.
