Come on. Give the kid the benefit of the doubt. I’ll play any sport with a girl that doesn’t involve me being physically in contact with them and aggressive.
I did Ice Skate doubles though and I like that.
I just don’t want to ever hit or hurt a girl and it doesn’t have a thing to with fear of losing, I probably won’t anyway.
This kid is good enough to be in contention for a state award, the girl probably isn’t and he doesn’t want to put any kind of hurt on her.
It’s not fair to either side to have women compete with men in a full contact sport.
