I think that if a girl is good enough to compete at a sport with guys, then let her.
They shouldn't have to let a girl who just physically can't compete play just because she's a girl.
I mean, if you can play just as well, let em.
I think some of the reasoning is, that in high school andcollege sports, you MIGHT have one or two girls good enough to get on the team, then you've got to provide for just those two girls, female chaperones, female bathrooms, while in elementary and middle school obviously it'll be a lot more even.
Becuase you'll get hurt. Unless you're freakishly big and strong, the guys are far bigger than you and tougher.
Also guys would feel bad about hitting a girl and it would affect the game.
If you really are tough enough, you're probably going to have to prove it.
Yes its sexist but unfortunately thats just how it is.
Maybe because it's a men's team and you're a women?

Sometimes, the coaches are afraid things might happen between the players. Also, the stereotype goes that guys are rougher than girls and the girls could get hurt. Not to mention, usually, the guys tend to clock in at over 150 pounds, while the girls tend to weigh much less. And girls don't tend to care as much about football. It's odd, I know, but that's why they call it male football. Not that it's right, just how the coaches think of it.
I bet they're worried about sexual harassment charges. Some guys might grope the women, or some girls will make false accusations.
i guess those are the rules of the team unfortunately :-/
i don't understand this basically as well... sounds very sexist to me!
I think its less about you getting hurt and more about sexual safety and potential lawsuits
Why don't they let men play on the women's team?
won't work
