  Ok – I’m stepping in…. first of all, Mike – your response was immature which tends to invalidate any points you might have made in previous comments.

  Secondly, allchick brought some great discussion to the table which you didn’t even try to debate.

  And finally, this thread is getting SO long that I am about to close it. If I don’t close this thread, it will take decades for this page to even load. Please move further discussion to the girl talk forums. Thanks. :)>-

  Ok, I give up. You can do anything you want whenever you want to. Forget reality!
  This web page is just an echo chamber for people of one mindset, dissenting opinions are not considered or allowed.

  Have fun in you fantasy world!

  And another thing, don’t they teach you anything in school?
  ……. YOUR GRAMMAR AND SPELLING SUCKS !!!!!!

  also did you relize how dumb you sounded”A girl playing on a boy™s team is like having a weak, sub-standard boy on the team.Then you say “Its not some terrible sexist conspiracy!” when you are being sexist” i you don’t get my point
  why do you even tto come agianst us If clearly you are againt women why must we pull our hair trying to make you see our point of view~X(
  becouse if you were born a women how would you feel if all this critizism happend to you. Basicly it is like saying you think menare suppiror than women and my other Comment stats that “Sexism can refer to subtly different beliefs or attitudes:

  The belief that one gender or sex is inferior to or more valuable than the other;”
  which is ecaclly what you are doing.I am getting sick and tired of hearing people like you saying the same thing over and over agian and saying your not being sexist when you clearly are.And why do you try do discourge women if you are so sure are “supperor than use” we all has equal rigts and there is still so much Female sexism and discourgement many women are afriad of what other peole might like same goes for men.And Another resone your statement didn’t make any sense is becouse : the way you put it, you also think that disabled kids shouldn’t be allowed to play sports or do you think that didabled girls shouldn”t e allowed to play in those sports ethir that even though don’t have a leg they shouldn’t play.Becouse I hope people like you arn’t THAT low as to didcourge kids like that or will you encourge males to fight while sick women should be left to “thier time to leave forever”.While people like you still may not relize ir no matter how much We try to show you our piont to veiw.Many women are doing”man things” like bieng cops fighter fighters and solders. I know you will most likly say this “women should be taking care of thier famils or do other “women” stuff.But what about men they do alot of dagouse things to and they have familys and the resone men AND women
  do it is becouse they want to help use that is why they risk thier lives everyday.what does this have to do with football you
  ask it has EVERYTHING to do with it WHY becouse if we can do all that why not football.Women
  become cops why not football players? So I ask why do you so foolishly type those words without nowing what they trully mean.

  what we needed,more people that don’t unerstand why this site was created I will make this loud and clear “THIS SITE WAS CREATED TO ENCOURGE WOMEN” not to dicorage them and by the way in the top it states that women do play football or were you not reading.and the resone I think people don’t let women play on men’s teams is becouse men will be discoured the a women is playing their team and people will most likly think they cheated somehow or that their gay it is true becouse it happens in school house and everywhere else and eing sexist means

  Sexism is commonly considered to be discrimination and/or hatred against people based on their sex rather than their individual merits, but can also refer to any and all systemic differentiations based on the sex of the individuals.

  Sexism can refer to subtly different beliefs or attitudes:

  The belief that one gender or sex is inferior to or more valuable than the other;
  Female or male chauvinism
  The attitude of misogyny (hatred of females) or misandry (hatred of males); as well as
  The attitude of imposing a limited and/or false notion of masculinity on males and a limited and/or false notion of femininity on females, or vice versa.
  A feeling of distrust towards the opposite or same sex, most frequently operating at unconscious level.

  Also this is another womens opion

  A friend of a friend told me she was playing football. I thought to myself if she can do it so can I. I went to the first day of tryouts and I found that the sizes of these women are very close to some of the men I know who play football themselves. I thought I am going to get hurt out here. When I told some male friends, they said the same thing. Is it the dominating men™s football that makes women football seem so unbelievable? No, it is the men and women who believe a woman™s place is not in the sports arena.

  Since the start of the WNBA, women in sports are becoming more believable. Yet women™s sports are still struggling for the exposure the men have. The level of intensity is strong when you watch women in sports. There is a drive in women to succeed in all that we do. We go out every game and give 250 % compared to the men giving 110 %. We have all heard coaches yelling, “I don™t want anything less than 110%.” And women always give more than expected. Women have to give more to gain respect from men, especially in football.

  I never thought I would say I play professional football. But my coaches are strong in their belief that we have what it takes to play football on a professional level. We hear the horror stories from the coaches, “If you don™t run this play right, and you miss that block, you’re going to lose your quarterback”. The coaches give us the inner strength to know we can knock that other woman down and get the play completed. At first you think the impossible, you practice three to four times a week just to get one play down, then the time comes and game time has arrived. Coach is yelling to get it right. The second I walk into the locker room, I am no longer a woman. I am a professional football player. There are no tears or crying. No children to care for. No food to be cooked. There are no excuses. You are here to play. Our game faces are on and we are ready.

  When we run out on the field our fans are yelling with support. We are no longer looked at as women; we are a football team – the San Francisco Stingrayz. This is the same thing men’s teams go through. The difference is they are getting paid to play the game. We play because we love the game. The sport is about teamwork. Getting the offensive line to protect the running backs and quarterbacks. The defense is protecting our end zone. No difference at all in the “Game”. Okay, so they are bigger, the have more players, they have a much larger fan base. That is because the sport started with men. We (The IWFL) are going to continue the saga with women.

  We are underestimated and we struggle for the same existence as men do in every aspect. We are held back because of the mentality that women belong raising children and caring for the family while the Husband brings home the bacon. I am a single mother. I go to work every day. At the end of my day, I pick up my son and we go to Mommy™s football practice. My son is my biggest fan. He cheers me on at every game. And because I am a single mom, I am teaching him how to play football. The truth is there is no difference between men and women in the game of football. The difference is in the money market. We run the same plays. We practice just as hard and sometimes harder because we still have to work to earn a living. But when it comes to game time, WE ARE ALL FOOTBALL PLAYERS men and women alike.

  :d

  this is women playing football and in case you havint noticed women are playing football against men and If you still say WE CAN”T PLAY
  why don’t you just say “I am agianst women”becouse you may not realize it but you are being sexist no how you deny it.
  you most likly thin women belong in the kititin [-([-x:-t but those times are over but if you keep on discrimateing us
  we still won’t back down as you can see women arn’t weak women become firefighter,police,moms,boxers, and everthing else so you can’t say we are “weak,weark minded,or belong somewhere” becouse hoe would you like it if you were at a cooking contest and they didn’t what you there becouse your male or that you said (if you have a wife) thathe belong in a kitin doing all the work while
  you just sit aroound ong nothing.Becouse women are playing football with men and they are not weak and NO MATTER WHAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE SAYS WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU WOMEN ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING CRITIZED BY PEOPLE THAT IS THE WHOLE PONT OF THIS WEBSITE WHY DO PEOPLE LIE YOU JOIN WHEN THAT NOT THE POINT OF THIS WESITE.And who do you think broungt you to this world?What would your mom think out this?And if she raised you to become like this I feel sory for you

  I will say this again: A girl playing on a boy™s team is like having a weak, sub-standard boy on the team. This is especially true in the late teens as boys develop more upper body strength. She would be a disadvantage in a boy™s team.
  Why are there no women playing in the NFL, or mens boxing or even mens golf? Read the above statement.
  If men and women are on different teams or leagues its based on the reality that they are different. Its not some terrible sexist conspiracy!

  I think that people just don’t relize that we are all equial and no matter what anyone says about being not being sexist but by saying that girls can’t play football your basicly bieng sexist :-?thik about it.Also us females undure the worst pains of all pains Childbith like the persone said if we can handle childbirth why do you think we can’t handle anything else it is like saying guys cant cook.No matter what time it was or is,we still have people sayin we can’t do this or that. THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO!!!!why can’t people see that we are equal we are all hummans and we shouldn’t be discrimated by ANYONE about opions or belifs but if you look back in histroy there was a time when women did all of “man’s worlk” while doing all the other chores they do which is alot learn some histroy and look it up
