  1. Do you think women should play professional baseball with men why or why not?
    Yes I do. Your absolutely right women are just as good as men.

    How might other women feel about Eri playing baseball?
    I feel good about it and I think it is about time that women enter into sports with men. But I know some women don't feel that way. We should stick together for equality.


    How would men feel about Eri playing baseball?
    Some men probably feel good about while others may belittle her just because they may feel threatened she may be better than they are.
