Disagree here.. if girls want to play football they need to start their own school league. Nothing against the girls abilities but this is nothing more than apeasement and political correctness.

Separate but equal? I'm thinking if the coach doesn't think she can take it, he wouldn't let her play. Women's sports are notoriously underfunded...why not let the one girl who can play with the boys have a shot? I haven't read the story yet, but I bet she has brothers.

Perhaps, until the lawyers get involved.

Separate but equal works for me if that’s how you see it.

“I’m thinking if the coach doesn’t think she can take it, he wouldn’t let her play.”

I’m thinking he doesn’t want to be harassed by a public school system that would force him to let her play or be fired.

To make things “more equal” there’s probably rules on how to tackle if allowed, be easy, no name calling, be careful where you touch, no rude gestures and if the other side is allowed to win there’s probably a max number of points they can’t win by.

Change for the sake of change is BS.

Does anyone seriously doubt women (I know there are exceptions, there are exceptions to everything)have a lighter bone structure and are weaker overall than men?

What happens if a female running back or a tight end gets totally hammered on a play and as a result dies? I think we all know what happens. Huge law suit claiming the school “knew or should have known of the documented physical disparity between the sexes and not allowed mixed teams.”, or something along those lines.

This is about PC, pure and simple. It is only a matter of time before we see what I have described happen.

Women's sports are notoriously underfunded...

That is probably the largest load of BS that I've seen in ages. Title nine has assured that no matter how few girls are actually interested in sports, their programs are taken funded.

This despite the fact that almost no one wants to watch (help support) 90% of womens athletic events. When I was in college twenty years ago, the feminists wanted to lock people in for the duration, forcing them to watch women's basketball if they wanted to watch men's basketball. Things have only gotten worse.

If a girl isn't obese, she can likely get an athletic scholarship at some college in the U.S., because so many are given and so few want them.

I'll bet you didn't play football. Think anyone will ever REALLY hit her with everything they have?

Rosie O'Donnell needs to play on her own team in her own league with other dykes.

The solution is to end segregated sports. Have A football team, basketball team, baseball, softball, golf, etc. The issue goes away. Unfortunately many female athletes will lose out.
