Her dad is an idiot! He says he shouldn't worry more about his daughter playing football. What a politically correct idiot! My thought on the girl herself is that its one thing to be on a private Catholic team, JV at that. Its something totally different to be playing against public schools at the varsity level. If she's that good, then great for her, but I wouldn't let her play if I was her father.

Girls mature sooner than boys, so it doesn't surprise me if a girl has succcess early on. They say she's 5-9 and 140#. Her growing days are probably over, while 15 year old boys are just getting started. If she doesn't get any bigger then she'll be tiny compared to those D-linemen and LB's who'll be coming after her. She'll get banged up pretty good. Even if she does have a "cannon arm" (despite her genetic limitations in the upper body department,) that won't stop her from getting hit, hard. She better have quick feet like Doug Flutie.

As far as injury goes, that's a risk that every high school football player, and their parents, have to take or not take. It's not like a coach or school administration have the right to say, "Nope, no chicks." Unless they want to get fired or sued.

"My son sacked her three times and I don't think he cares."

I like that. They shouldn't take it easy on her. If she wants to compete against boys- or eventually men- she should be treated like anybody else. That's real equality.

Yeah, we might as well go ahead and put women on the front lines of our battles. That will give them true equality!

I wonder if she is actually the best athlete suited for the team at the quarterback position, or if they had to find a slot for her because she tried out for the team. The article said she was 3 of 5 for about 135 yards, and three INT. There aren't any boys at that school that can throw the ball better? Sounds like they run the ball a lot, to me.

If she is actually better at the position than anybody else at the JV level in that school, then good, let her play. But if its a politically motivated selection, then obviously I'm against her playing. She should only play if she beats out everybody else, fair and square.

Girls really don't mature faster than boys. She wont be a college caliber QB and is playing for fun. She should play and be just like any other player.Edited by: IceSpeed2

This is BS, pure and simple.

Of COURSE girls should not be playing football. That's kind of like proposition in the few man vrs. woman kickboxing matches that have gone off. If you win, you beat up a girl. If you loose, you got beaten by a girl. It's crap, and no one should have to deal with it.

An Olympic quality female athlete (and NOTHING less) could play men's football at a decent level but would be limited to only a handful of positions. Kicker being the obvious one but that's been done and doesn't really count

I could see a small sprinting WR having success... actually that would make a nice Disney movie.

Quarterback is kind of pushing it though and makes me wonder about the rest of team. It's always a bad sign when the coach starts checking the cheerleaders forty times.

Ta Waki Mumba:
Football is not golf, tennis, fencing, swimming, volleyball, or any other sport where the idea of a woman competing with men is non-ridiculous. Football is a game where you try to hit the opposition as hard as possible as often as possible, and where, when you get right down to the nitty-gritty, it's good when you can inflict debilitating injury on the opposition. This is not a place where the vast majority of decent White men of the Western culture want to see women, and certainly no decent man wants to be in a position of hitting womean.

It's like women in combat. Certainly some women could be effective in certain combat roles, but deploying them in such roles except in extreme defense of your homeland is a betrayal of the higher ideals of Western civilization, and also a violation of good evolutionary sense. (Briefly, females can bear only so many offspring, but male animals are virtually unlimited in potential for impregnating females, therefore, evolution has generally made the male animals the one that shoulder the riskier activities like violent competition for territory and females, etc.)
