The question of how many girls would play football for an all-female high school team if given the chance took center stage Friday in a Utah lawsuit filed by a teenage female football star.
"There are no other high-school girls' tackle football teams," said Rachel Terry, an assistant Utah attorney general. "If they had the ability to play football at the high school on Friday nights, with the band there and have everybody fill the stands, how do you think the perception of girls would be on that campus?" he said.
She and her father point to all-girl"powder-puff" football games that are a homecoming tradition at many high schools. The games attract more competitors than other intramural sports, and yearbook entries reflect the pride girls take in having a chance to play, Washburn said.
Why is females can have their exclusive sports, clubs and groups? But y'all insist it's discrimination for men to have any all male groups any more.
Why is it all-female? That's sexist. We all know that gender is a social and biological construct invented by the patriarchy. There should only be one team. Anyone who wants to play can play. It's 2019 people.
Girls should have the right to play on these teams as it promotes confidence and self -esteem. In today's world gender equality is crucial so that everyone is entitled to do what makes them happy. With all the negative things happening I look forward to this piece of positivity.
Can dudes at an all boys school play softball?
Not against girls playing football at all but fully grown 17-18 year old guys tackling girls at full speed is a recipe for disaster.
The answer is... A Bunch...
You couldn't get a team together let alone a league of them ffs
How about instead of encouraging girls to play football, we just stop with the football altogether.
Whoa. That's a heavy lift - in that state, especially. Kudos to her!!! 👏
