As many posted on the comments, when a girl is part of the football team: it receives praise; while a boy in an all-girls sport is "wrong" & "sexists".

Is it an “all-girl” sport with a rule prohibiting males, or is it a game that is traditionally played by girls? If the rules don’t prohibit it, and if he’s good, he can play. Period.

Every now and then the ACLU makes a stink and forces some school to allow a girl onto a male team and to let her into the male locker room. I see a double standard at work here. I say he should stay on the team.

Wonder how long until we start seeing this on a wider scale due to Title IX.

I agree. In fact, in some states, it stated in their rule book that you can have an co-ed team as long the sport is not played by two separate genders. In other words, in this case, if the boys do not have a field hockey team, then they can be in the girls team. This is why you hear many girls in football team. Since they do not have a girls (tackle) football team, they can be in the football team. It is strange when you think about it. Like you said, if no rules prohibiting of a co-ed team, then it is legal.

“Tietze’s dominance has sparked renewed questions of the fairness in allowing a male athlete to play in a sport traditionally played in America by girls alone.”

So one guy taking on an opposing team of ten girls is considered unfair?

“Last week, PennLive.com asked that question and received a largely rancorous attack against male participation, with the exception of the two posters who actually were field hockey players.”

I thought guys and gals were supposed to be equal. Judging by the Feministas reaction it looks like reality says something else.

so, let’s review the facts:

a) he’s the star athlete on the team
b) on a team of female hardbodies, he’s the only male.

All I can say is... WAY TO GO, SLICK! (wink)

I’m trying to figure out how this guy keeps from getting distracted by all the hot chicks on the field he’s playing with and against. It looks like he has great focus and concentration and that tenacious male drive to win even when the odds are against him.

Would Tietze’s name be pronounced “teats”?

That’s the team slogan — “Come out and watch us play! You’ll be staring at our Tietze the whole time!”

My heart goes out to this kid. Not only is he undoubtedly taking a rash of crap from his buddies, but I'm certain those girls aren't cutting him any slack with those sticks.

Actually I feel the same way about this as I do girls invading male domains. He should compete with his own.

If you watch both videos you can see the men are much more aggressive than the women.

I get the tit for tat argument; but seriously, he shouldn’t be playing.
