How fair can it get for girls to play on boys sport teams. Maybe because it’s not a law, everyone can play, so many other girls are playing on the same team as boys.

    Michael J. Boride’s article gave me a solution for a problem that I never thought of before. I used to think that there should just be general neutral bathrooms, but making them single person eliminates many problems that come with that solution. The film Playing Unfair showed made me realize the unequal coverage women’s sports get, and showed me how far we have come since the creation of the film to include them, Also, Ross Tucker’s article, published by The Science of Sport, and titled “Let Male And Female Compete Together: The Abolition Of Gender Categories In Sport: A Sound Argument?” solidified my point that, if they meet the same skill level as all the other athletes, then women should play in men’s leagues. Even if Tucker’s point was to show that we should separate men’s and women’s sports, the flaws in their argument are what solidified my point. According to Tucker, the best in every men’s league is far superior to the best athletes in the women’s league, which may be true, but that doesn’t cover the lower to mid-tier level at which women may very well…

Many women are very fast and strong, and play the sports better than some males that are playing these sports that the women play. Even if these women are slower or not as strong, they can still play the sports they love and excellent. Many women are always overlooked for being weak and slow when they really are not and they can still compete at these levels.

    In sport today I believe women are treated in an unfair way to their male counterparts. Sport is controlled by the media in this century and women are looked at as sexual objects rather than for their talent like men are. The women are also then expected to wear skimpy clothing not because it’s better for the sport but because of marketing. Professional female athletes are seen as inferior to their male counterparts and therefore don’t get as much media coverage. Women athletes play the exact same games, train equally as hard, yet are still getting paid a large amount less than men.…

    All players will expect the same compensation, for playing a sport whether they are gender, race, or level of skill. Title IX is a very wide-ranging federal law that disallows discrimination on the basis of the sex in any federally funded education program or activity, will always apply so this will require every team to be treated as equals. This includes all sports like tennis players, swimmers, and more. This will become the new normal for all athletes. Paying all teams, male and female, requires an outrageous amount of money as well.…

    I think that girls should be allowed to play boys sports, at Harrisburg High School, as well as any other school. At some schools there are boys volleyball teams and thats a ‘girls’ sport, so why can’t there be a girls football team? Some may try and say that girls aren't tough enough to play with the boys. “First, it's called a boys' team for a reason girls don't have the body for it so how would they be able to do the techniques that actually work towards the goal for winning? Example: FOOTBALL!…
