Plenty of women have entered individual sport open contests like golf and marathons.
Several women have tried and failed to land spots on NBA rosters. One even played on the official summer league team for the Lakers.
A woman was a goalie in an exhibition game in the NHL.
A woman kicked a field goal for a Division 1 college football team. (It was blocked, unfortunately)
A woman drove in the Indy 500 in the 70s.
"Men's" sports don't need to discriminate against women explicitly. Biology keeps them out for purely performance related reasons. Men need to be actively kept out of Women's leagues for the same reason. Can't fight biology.

This probably won't end well.
