Your readers know your thoughts about female athletes competing against male athletes in sports thanks to the response to Bryant's comments. But how about females and males competing together? Do you like mixed gender events like the Hopman Cup (When it was still a thing?) And are events like these positive/neutral/negative thing for women's sports?

I LOVE MIXED GENDER EVENTS SO MUCH!!! Seriously, I know the caps is obnoxious, but I can't contain my excitement. I think they're great for women's and men's sports and fans and TV and everyone, and I want to see more of it in golf and tennis and athletics and swimming and, well, anywhere where a relay or co-ed team makes sense. RIP Hopman Cup, I miss you so.

Emerging sports are great in this -- bike polo and Ultimate (Frisbee). Even high school club teams of the latter are organizing as co-ed, which is great. What a great time for them to learn to work together.
