the_truth 10 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I have been waiting for a boy to want to play softball or volleyball. If a girl is entitled to play football, which she is, then a boy should be able to play volleyball or softball if they choose to. It would ruin female athletics but it would be sexual discrimination if not allowed. I read about a boy in New York years ago who sued to be on a girls swimming team because his school did not have a boys team. He won the case and won the state championship that year in girls swimming. It would be interesting to see what would happen if a boy ever tried it.

Guest BEAVERTAIL Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 not only I, but so was a few of my friends. We felt we could beat the girls on the team, who were actually good, for a starting job. Unfortunately it never really happened, we stuck with soccer and never really pushed the volleyball thing... I still think we would have won... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I dont know about a boy being allowed to play softball, because most schools that have a girls softball team would also have a boys baseball team. But if they didnt have a baseball team then I could see that happening. I would have liked to play volleyball in highschool. I love to play volleyball. Actually I wish we had a badmiton team in HS...that would have been sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbgfan 856 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 How are they going to handle locker room accommodations for her at home and away games? Hope she stays healthy and is not injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 this has been done at other schools many times for years and years now...just not much around here. Football is a great game and if she can handle the hits, I say good for her and I think it's a good thing a girl wants to play...especially a 9th grader.

deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 If she's interested and is playing for the right reasons and not because someone is pushing her to do it, she should be fine. There was a set of twin girls a year behind me that played little league football with us and definitely started on the line and owned but their mom pushed them a little hard because she wanted to make some kind of feminist statement and they eventually quit. Had they been left alone and played in high school, who knows, I'm sure they would've done fine. Hopefully that won't happen in this girl's case.
