It would be funnier if it were revealed that some of the guys were good at certain sports. Sheldon's knowledge of football was a brilliant scene, him having excellent hand-eye coordination and not actually caring about it would have worked. Raj being good at cricket would certainly work. The devolution of the guys as physically competent is ongoing, they used to go paint balling.
I also loathe this gender divide going on, Wise Woman, Idiot Man-Child. It's offensive all round. Especially since at least one of the women was originally canonically established as even more socially inept and bizarre than the guys ever were.
(Though - B is a cop's daughter, the idea that she's physically capable could be played for laughs. Her beating the crap out of some guy twice her size could be funny, as long as it wasn't Overbearing Mommy taking care of her Little Boy.)
