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.
You are right, MrB. It does go against proper male wiring. There were some girls at my son’s high school who told people they were going out for football. The guys said, “go ahead... but you realize you have to do boards, right?” When they asked what that was... they changed their minds after looking at some of the guys they would have to hit. This case is all “feel good”.. she’s third string. The coach knows the chances of her actually get PT is nill to none. She’s a token. You can best believe that this schools team is a laughing stock... I can only imagine some of the comments on the line.
