    I think this is wrong because you never see a female trainer in male sports and to back this up men even train women. This fact supports me by saying most trainers in the major sports are men. All of the NFL's trainers are men. The opposing views believe they should be allowed to play football and that they should all be allowed to have equal rights regardless if they are a woman or a guy they feel like there training ability is much stronger than a male and I believe that women should not be allowed to play in male sports because there can lead to many safety concerns and it can cause sexual harassment which can cause lawsuits and so on. So these are the different views on females playing in males sports buy into football there are many injuries and a guy hurting a girl could open a big lawsuit , do we want…
