The quote i was replying to was:

“Girls should compete with girls, boys should compete with boys.”

There was no specific reference to touching in that comment.

If you don’t want your children to play in a contact sport that allows touching opposite sex players, then it is on you to pull your kid.

Soccer and field hockey are both contact. Swimming requires children to wear minimal clothes.

Everyone has their own personal limits. We can’t allow every individual to dictate there moral line on everyone or we will have an American Taliban.

As you can read here, the people that are closest to the sports have the least worry about coed players.

You missed the “grab and squeeze body parts”. There is a difference in the competitions you listed and full body contact that occurs in wrestling. My son wrestled in middle school and his twin sister was a team manager. I’m glad that is as close as she got to wrestling.

To compare those who don’t think boys and girls should be grabbing each other to the Taliban is a little warped.
