Playing like a girl is goal for boys

Josh and Jarrod Davis aren't trying to cause any trouble. They are not out to strike a blow for men's rights, make a statement or satisfy any curiosity about how they would look in a skirt. As the first boys in Anne Arundel County to play high school field hockey — traditionally an all-girl sport in this country — they just want to have fun.

Quote of the Day by MissL

[Imal]

And so the asinine campaign against gender continues.

Apparently, the feminist movement forgot the time-honored truth that "boys will be boys", even if "girls just want to have fun".

As with any social revolution, it will take a while before feminism gets its head straight. It has accomplished many good things, but at the price of absurdities like this and other bizarre outcomes of "unisex law", some of them very hurtful to our society and its members.

Josh, a varsity wrestler,... Jarrod, who also wrestles, ...

Hmmm, could it be that the wrestling team got cut because of Title IX????

Field hockey sometimes is difficult to follow, especially with bodies tangled up around the goal,...

I can see why the guys would be VERY interested in this. P.S., I've wrestled girls before, and it is erotic.

[Princeliberty]

International Women's Field Hockey is probably
the most boring team sport to watch in the history
of mankind! The Olympics desperately needs
to drop it!

And what about the skirt, or "kilt," as they prefer to call it? "I told Jarrod he has nice legs," Josh said.

Isn't that just what you'd expect a male field hockey player (in the US) to say?

[Cronos]

However, field hockey is a men's sport in the rest of the world, with the top teams being Australia, India, Holland, the UK etc. etc.

Well buy a utilikilt. You'll still look macho if you wear socks with boots. http://www.utilikilt.com

[Gil4]

I'll pass - I'm pretty sure I'd be spared the comments like that regardless...

[Johnbalaya]

well...if it's fun to play, let 'em play

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

I've wrestled girls before, and it is erotic.

And then they fart...

Seriously, let the system come crashing down with boys in all of the "girls" sports. Liberals want their cake and eat it too. They want to force girls into the boys sports without allowing boys into girls sports. That's discrimination.

[Keyes2000mt]

Don't forget the Amerikilt and The Bear Kilt. :)

ill seems gay to me unless you are competing in the highlan games.

[ctlpdad]

wrong pic, i meant to get the dreadlock dude

[rftc]

Somehow, I think Josh and Jared might not mind the kilts and getting close to girls their age..

[TontoKowalski]

I don't think I could actually wear a Utilikilt... but the thought of being unconfined is appealing... the ultimate freeball experience (not counting the birthday suit).

[Clock King]

That's discrimination.

That's logic talking, something the extremists never let stand in the way their feelings.

[FourPeas]

When I was in high school, the girls' basketball coach argued this very thing: let girls on the boys' team and you must let boys on the girls'. The logical conclusion is two boys' teams. I say good for the guys.

[dead]

Gay as an 1890s Easter bonnet.

[Dataman]

boys competing poses a physical threat to the girls or gives the team an unfair advantage.

What? Does that mean that letting girls participate in a male sport gives the team an unfair DISadvantage?

[Ditto]

Girls are even allowed to wrestle boys.

Sometimes, they have to. ;~))
