we can't just let this run its course....
if you think it should then like I've mentioned in another thread, just tell your dtrs and grand dtrs and nieces to never play a sport....they can't win at it..they can't progress so why bother....
You can teach the girls in your family a good lesson here. The best way to ruin a sport is to organize it. I have had more fun — and much more exercise — in my life playing informal pick-up hockey than I ever had playing in a league.
That is the whole point, I have never told them to be good enough to beat the girls. I have always told them to try and be good enough to beat the other boys.
And they were fighters on their soccer and basketball teams. All of the local teams wanted them.
