"When I was on the wrestling team at school, we had to accept a girl onto the team. Thankfully she wasn't near my weight class. I felt sorry for the guys who had to wrestler her - it was lose-lose for them. Physically rough up a girl and beat her, or take it easy and get beat by a girl - either way was no good."


Same situation with my oldest son. At a football game a while back, the other team had a girl who played receiver and he plays cornerback so he had to cover her. He said, "Mom, what do I do? Can I even tackle her? How do I cover her without looking like I am taking on a girl on or do I get beat by her and let her score?" He ended up getting two interceptions in that game. It bugged me that someone would let their daughter play football at all. Too much tesosterone out there on the field.

My son played football against a girl too who was playing corner. I told him that once she put a football helmet on her head, she was no longer to be viewed as a girl, but an opposing player. Do to her whatever you would do to any other player on the field of play.

The girl did manage to hold her own..but it was on a "quick team" where there is a weight limit. She did get up slowly quite a few times....but she always got up. She even made a tackle!

The following year in 8th grade there was no quick team and no weight limit and after the first day of practice, no girl either.
