First, that video was simultaneously hilarious and awesome. Most of it was slightly sped up and it looks so funny seeing what looked like mini professional football players sprinting that fast. It was obviously awesome because that girl is a beast.
Second, I think that in sports like football where they is not a female version, girls should be able to play, like in wrestling. If there is a second division for girls, such as softball, then they should have to play in their division. The same should go for boys in sports such as vollyball.
Third, the same goes for adults in NFL and MLB. This was not directly part of the topic, but I think if a woman is skilled and strong enough to make the team she should have the chance and be praised for it. The same goes for men in… Oh yeah, we already do everything. haha[/quote]
This seems like it would work, but it won’t because of Title IX. Sports like Volleyball would be dominated by men and they funding would be removed from the activity by the government.

Although the question about field hockey is valid, no doubt guys won’t do it because they’d be shamed by their peers for it (and rightfully so.)
We all know it’s a one-way street for that shit, only women are allowed into guys sports because it’s “politically correct,” but whatever. [/quote]
Isn’t that how men got into gymnastics and volleyball?[/quote]
I think it is the other way around. Women got into those sports.[/quote]
Damnit BC that was a shot at those guys.

Lol its okay BC we still love you
I’m just impressed with the level of football your American 9 year olds are playing at.
Pretty sure they could have given my (Canadian) high school team a run for our money.

Very cool for her.
It will not last though. Women don’t have the build or the test levels once puberty hits to keep up with men.

Shaking my head at the anti-field hockey commentary. A ball flying at your face at 80mph hit from 5 yards away =/= girly. It isn’t exactly boxing (which I used to do), but most people who dick on it haven’t played it against someone who can lash that ball. Certainly manlier than basketball for a start …

WHoa whoa whoa.
Because men wont be ogled by the masses, the funding will be cut? LMAO! I bet that gives fem nazis a warm feeling.
Play it in San Francisco then, plenty of male admirers to be had.

That is fine, but you are confused calling it fair. You think some sexism is good. But, that is still the opposite of fair. You are in fact against fairness.
