The “horror” of a field hockey player being struck in the face by a shot from a male on the opposing team has one local superintendent calling on the MIAA to revisit its guidelines that allow boys to play a girls’ sport.
Dighton-Rehoboth Superintendent Bill Runey is making the push after a male member on the Swampscott High girls’ field hockey team took a shot that hit the face of a female player competing for his regional district.
The brutal injury, coming from a corner play in the third quarter during Thursday’s state tournament matchup in Swampscott, caused the D-R player to be treated at a hospital for what Runey described as “significant facial and dental injuries.”
Males are allowed to participate on female teams in Massachusetts based on the state’s Equal Rights Amendment, according to the MIAA handbook.
Video shows the Swampscott player taking the corner, shooting the ball and in an instant, the D-R player squatting to the ground, screeching in pain. Her teammates are visibly shaken by the hit, with trainers rushing the field to care for the player.
Play stopped for roughly 10 minutes before it resumed.
The same player taking the shot for Swampscott scored both goals as the team defeated D-R in a 2-0 shutout.

What debate?
Of course boys should not be playing against girls, except to help make the girls team better during practice.
Who’s debating this?
If the girls play against the boys, they buy into this nonsense and assume the risk. And where were her parents? How stupid are rhey?
Real females should simply boycott any competitive event with a female impersonator competitor.
Back in 2006, in woke CT, my 15 year old daughter got slammed to the pavement and broke her jaw, due to the running one lap of the track with the boys. End of P.E. that day and teacher said to all kids, one lap and back into the locker room. Co-ed is great isn’t it.
Hockey masks. All around.
The girls may as well learn how to face Russian paratroopers during their school games as waiting until they have to fight them on the battlefield.
Either that or our nation should quit pretending they are equal to the task of war.
Was the faggot identified?
>> Who’s debating this?
People of unsound mind.
No. Why do you capitulate to their insanity?
Get the mentally diseased males off the girls teams.
Unbelievable. Hopefully fully healed without any lingering discomfort.
The field hockey balls are about as dangerous as lacrosse balls.
Face shielding is a good idea.
[Never let the homos on the girls team, though....]
Massholes got what they voted for. And what idiot would allow their daughter to take such unnecessary risks like this?
Guys at that HS need to beat the crap out of that coward creep AND somehow get away with it.
I’ve been saying for years: The average male can break the average female in half. The average very fit male can break the average very fit female in half. To suggest otherwise is to deny science, mock biology, and create real danger to women and girls.
100% THIS !!!!!!!
A solid azz kicking is what the freaks need!
“Males are allowed to participate on female teams in Massachusetts based on the state’s Equal Rights Amendment, according to the MIAA handbook.”
Did you catch that? “Males are allowed to COMPETE against females based on a state equal rights amendment”. Leftists for some really neurotic reasons insist that we are all interchangeable meatsticks.
Or, we should be, or something like that.
Notice they sort of smoooooth over this little detail. “Participate” sounds a lot more innocuous than “Break her jaw so she must obtain sustenance through a straw for 6 weeks” now doesn’t it?
So what they are claiming is that, in order that nobody is “discriminated” against; - (Notice they have nuked Title 9 anyone??) then of course it just makes perfect sense that …
Ah, never mind. This &!’t is so damn stupid I can’t believe anybody’s brain can fire off their synapses in that order. I give up. The leftists are cool with Segregation now. I guess that shouldn’t be surprising, since they started it in the first place. They seem to be pretty cool with ramping up Jew hate. And suddenly, War is Cool Again, and what’s a few nukes going off, what’s the big deal, anyway?
