“You are totally missing the point.”

On the contrary, I am seeing the point. As long as persons with greater strength, bone density and size are going to be allowed to compete with others less capable of strength capacity in recreational (?) competitions, then things are going to happen. But I saw nothing illegal done on the videos that couldn’t have been done female to female.

As long as there is going to be a “prize” for the school, players and coaches there is going to be stretching the bounds of the competitions. Sports in lower grade schools started out as filling the need to create teamwork, fairplay, and to assist players in adding to their confidence as an individual. But none of those priorities are in practice today as other benchmarks have changed them to the ones I mentioned in my other post. And since the leagues are going to combine the genders through these means then there is going to be some who want to take advantage of the situation to gain. And since the coaches, schools, and players are going to be rewarded for winning, then that’s what it morphed into by, in this case, redirecting the gender. But there was nothing done in the play I saw that was done illegal or dirty.

Women are getting bigger and taller in college which is where high school players are finding profitable with scholorships.

Players like Brittney Griner, at 6’ 9”, formerly of Baylor, can bench over 400 pounds. Aliyah Boston, 6’ 5”, South Carolina. Megan Craig, 6-foot-9, Univ of Albany, her wingspan has been measured at seven feet. Abbie Boutilier, 6’ 9”, Univ of Texas. Phillipina Kyei, 6’ 8”. Oregon. Nene Sow, 6’ 8”, Utah...

So trying to say the young lady playing was hurt because she was competing with a male, could have happened with a lot of different players not male like the ones listed above. And that’s not near all of the females of size in women’s NCAA. Do I think it’s right for the men and women to join in contact sport competitions, no. But as long as there is going to be an advantage to winning, then the young players and parents should sit down and evaluate what they are getting into. It is not fun anymore, it’s business even at that level.
