Wimps. Scared of a girl. My son had play against a girl playing wide receiver in football. He knocked her down on a play. He asked if he did anything wrong. I told him “That’s why she’s out there”.

What are they, Muzzies?

In other news, every future opponent of Our Lady of Sorrows high has added a female to their rosters....

[RIghtwardHo]

She’s more man than they are. Play the game.

At least they stick to their principles, you have to give them that.

This seems silly to me. I totally agree when boy wrestlers refuse to wrestle girls, as that involves a great deal of close, physical contact, that is inappropriate, IMO. I could understand not playing against a girl in a sport like basketball, as well, though I'd probably be OK if my son played against one.

But, baseball? There is very, little, physical contact and it would almost never be awkward, much less inappropriate.

Do they allow the boys to play chess or golf against girls?

[GunRunner]

Teaching our boys to treat ladies with deference, we choose not to place them in an athletic competition where proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty.

It's baseball you idiots. Have you never played a co-ed softball or kickball game?

My wife and I play in a co-ed social sports volleyball league, and it's a blast. There's probably more contact in that than in high school baseball.

These are people taking pride in artificial virtue.

The conference they play in allows boys and girls on the field. They already played twice in the season, and the boy/girl team won both times[lady sat on the bench].

If the school already knows there is a chance of facing a girl in competition, why then put the team's chance in jeopardy by playing in a boy/girl conference?

Our Little League is co-ed. By my son’s age, 10, there are only a couple of girls left, but they are welcome to play. It’s by their own choice that they migrate over to the Girls Softball League.

I’ve never seen anything during a game that would cause an indelicate problem.

[SamuraiScot]

Baseball is only very occasionally a contact sport.

It is if you play to win.

[GeronL]

I am glad they stuck to their principles, nice to see someone will.

[TheDon]

Good for them! For not giving in to the feminazi agenda.

[Flightdeck]

I shake my head at the absolute primitivism posted on this thread (6, 19, and 31 for example). Hard to tell you folks apart from the radical islamists.

[Varda]

The idea that men and women are interchangeable cogs is Marxist. That’s why she’s out there. I would refuse to participate in teaching my sons that.

[Graybeard58]

If it were high school wrestling, I might agree with it but baseball???

[elkfersupper]

We had a chick playing on our intramural basketball team in college in the early '70's.

We would put her in at low post whenever the opposing team made the mistake of going to a man-to-man defense. She had one move and we had one play for her. She would get the ball low with her back to the basket, the rest of us would head for the corners, taking the defenders away, she would fake one way while hooking the opposite leg behind the defender, go the other way, bounce the ball once heading to the basket and execute the most beautiful finger-roll spinning layup you have ever seen.

She was only good for about 3 buckets that way before the other team would figure out they needed to sink in to defend against her, but she provided the winning margin a number of times.

We all had a lot of respect for her and provided triple-damage to anybody who messed with her on or off the court.

[Jeff Chandler]

They are taking a stand based upon their principles and accepting the consequences of their actions—taking it their forfeiture like men. Good for them.

What does the school principle think of the team’s principals?

[Romulus]

an traditionalist church that broke away from Roman Catholic Church

This is false. The SSPX is not a separate church. Neither it nor its followers have broken away from the Catholic Church.
