Good question. Sports require uniforms-usually shorts. What does a hijab matter when the uniform itself isn’t allowed?

There are teams full of Somali boys here, but I have yet to see a Somali girl join a team.

Plus, how can you run fast and change direction quickly in a full ankle length robe?

That’s my thinking too. And , the way sports require running and jumping and bending, there would be time where Muslim sensibilities will.be offended. Not only are legs showing but legs could be apart, or parts of a woman’s body could bounce and offend Muslims . Based on what Muslims themselves tell us, it seems the whole area of athletic competition is too dangerous so to speak, for Muslim women to participate.
