“... isn’t dubbed a hate crime”
I absolutely, positively disagree with allowing girls/young women to play football against the boys/young men. When the guy on the line pancakes her and hurts her, he’ll be a “coward” or a “guy that hurts girls”. If the guy on the line doesn’t pancake her, he’s a wuss. I would tell my son to slam her as hard as he would another teen. No mercy, no holding back. If she wants to play with the big boys... then play like the big boys.
In my state, some years back.. parent sued the school system to allow their daughter to play football. The school allowed it. The parents then sued the school system after their daughter got hit hard, broke her pelvis and ended up sterile. Some of the high school players are BIG. I mean really, really big. A six foot, six inch, 260 pound high school Varsity player is not out of the question. This is just another way of eliminating or “feminizing” football. IMHO.
I won’t let my girls engage in games where they are in physical competition with boys.
It’s actually more harmful to the boys than the girls, because it goes against and destroys their “wiring” to protect the girl.
