Girls in sports

 I think that girls should be able to play on the boy’s sport’s team. Because everyone has the right to play any sport they want weather it’s a boys sport or a girls sport. Many girls play boys sports as good as boys do. According to debate.org “Girls should be equal to boys , boys need to accept the fact that not only boys can play football, soccer, baseball or any other boy sport. Boys don't think girls should play boy sports because "girls aren't strong enough" well that's NOT TRUE we are strong enough so LET US PLAY BOY SPORTS !” According to Zoe Meyer, “On the athletic field, in the gym, or on the ice, there have always been standards for the athletes to follow. These standards range from what type of athletic equipment is not only necessary but appropriate, to who can play when, where, and how. This last standard is the one that is being challenged the most; can men play not only on women’s teams, but can they also participate in female dominated sports without being taunted? The same goes for women, can females, without fear, really participate in traditionally male dominated sports? Although the social costs to the individual participating in the non-traditional sport are many, the benefits, if played well and correctly, can be and are quite plentiful as well.” According to the article Girl Allowed To Play Football On Catholic Team “The OHSAA encouraged schools to allow girls to try out for and play any sport, Moore said. About 60 girls in ohio participate on boys wrestling teams, and more than 100 play on football teams, she said.”
