Should girls be allowed to play football?

Finti> “dont see why men should have to deduct their level down to the level of women.”

Ai, Finti, you’re stepping in the spinach now (Danish proverb). What do you mean ”deduct their level DOWN to the level of women”??? 😉
Do you view women as inferior to men, just because men generally are physically the strongest gender?

“It aint so much about the masculinity of men cause it is there naturally, it is about letting women be women.”

?? So femininity of women is NOT there naturally or what are you trying to say? That sports are un-feminine?

Mr. Zero> Hm, I’m not entirely sure I follow you… Are you saying a sport shouldn’t really be such, if it can only be won because of greater body mass and muscle rather than LEARNING an actual skill? Interesting idea… Lemme think on that.

Ush> I did a cat-walk thingie some years back as a HAIR-model no less. Sorry, I never got any photos, you have to take my word for it – but the way you have to walk… To walk slowly AND gracefully, constantly placing your leg abnormly in front of the other takes learning… (No, I wasn’t good at it, but my hair looked great!) 😉

I was not debating for a single moment that it was very skilled, Omega... I just want the pics...

Ush> 😆

Sorry, I never got any - so here's one of me in a 1920's outfit instead.

Hot damn, that'll do...

However I maintain: If a sport can be won primarily because of greater body mass and muscle rather than skill - then it's not much of a sport.

Fact is muscle/mass gives a huge advantage in a physical sport like Rugby or American football. And is something that is taken into account of when selecting a team.

If you think your going to distract us from our arguments with such an obvious cheap ploy then you are very much hot. I mean mistaken.

I am not against women doing sports, I just say I dont see the reason why it is a must that they move in and want to play football (both American and Soccer) with the men. They have a womens league of football so if they aint satisfied with that well then quit.

it is the graceful way women move

only as long as women move gracefully, will moving gracefully be regarded as feminine.

anyways, can't see why a woman moving perfectly gracefully shouldn't be allowed to go bunkers on a football field. if you don't like to watch her doing sports, just go out and meet her on a friday night instead.

eeh what I tried to say was that femininity of women are natural so let them be natural too hence let women be women. Some sports are very anti feminine sports, American Football, Boxing aint sports that bring forth the feminine features of its participants.

true.

besides, sports really ought to be about results, not looks ( I know it's not like that in real life, but one can always hope). how a woman looks while doing sports should be irrelevant.

Not all women are feminine.... in fact there are some very butch women out there

girls should not be allowed to play football... it's just common sense....

they can play it in a women league

maybe there should be 3 leagues - womens, mens and mixed although it may only work in theory....

yeah and the first seamstress was a belgian male so what? 😄😄

that dean shouldn't say it's not natural for women to engage in physical combat, when there is proof it is

I've played football 😐 It was a pretty site.
But if other girls want to give it a go, let them try...whatever

Mademoiselle Reject

......In response to the original question, they are. My highschool has a place kicker who's a girl. There is no rule in the official NFL rulebook that says a woman cannot be on a team. And there is a sort of amatuer girls football league.

Here are the problems

1. Most colledge (I cant speel) coaches dont want girls on their teams, simply beacause its a destraction to the guy players.
2. Girls, unless they are *extremely* fit and strong, can't really tackle guys to great effect. At least I've never seen it. (This might seem like a sexist comment, and maybe it is, but you've got to admit, its pretty true)
3. Most girls wouldnt want to either, so when the rare girl comes around, they're usually overlooked.
4. NFL teams dont want girls beacause of 1 & 2.

Understand the reasoning?
