Girls in Sports

Girls should be allowed to play on a boy’s team because there may not be a girl’s team for the sport. This is my opinion because in the article “ Girl allowed to play football on Catholic team”, states “there are some girls that may be as good or better at the sport than the boys.” Also I think this because in the article “ Girl, 12, asks to play football with boys; Liberty Union says no” by The Columbus Dispatch, states “ Title IV allows equal opportunity on sports teams”, which means that if there is no girls team for the sport, they should be allowed to try out for the boys team. Then, I think that boys could learn to deal to work with different people. There are many coaches that are up for the idea of girls being in the team. Another reason I think girls should be allowed to play on a boy’s team is that girls should be able to speak up for their rights to be able to play the sport they like to play since in the article “ Girl, 12, asks to play football with boys; Liberty Union says no” by The Columbus Dispatch they didn’t want her to play. However, there may be some difficulties and fees in this. For example, girls would need a different kind of uniform, their own locker room, and their own coach. The other bad thing in this is that boys may not want to go play hard on the girls and may go easy on them. Finally, boys would probably sexually harass the girls in the field.
