I agree that if women play in men's sports, men should be able to play in women's sports. Let a man play in college volleyball of softball if they want to. As long as both sides are getting treated fairly I think anyone should be able to play whatever sport they want to play. Let's take football for example, there are a few points I want to touch on first. Some people who oppose this idea of women in football think that when women get into football they are going to just get tackled and claim sexual harassment on some guy. Women are s

A great example of someone who will not get the opportunities on the football field she deserves is Rachel Kokotovich, a linebacker and offensive guard for her football team at St. Veronica in Eastpointe. Rachel is a normal 13-year-old girl except for the fact that she plays football with the guys at her school. She is 5'6" and 125 pounds and does all the girl things such as go to the mall and wear make-up. Rachel was quoted saying "I like football. I was going to play soccer but they didn't have a team."(The Detroit News) This shows that there are girls out there who want to play the sport because they like it, not because "it is just fair." Aren't we limiting a woman's potential by telling her from the start that she can play football, but once she graduates from high school we make her quit? Let a woman pursue her dreams of being a college or a professional football player if she wants to. People have tried to put things together such as the Women's Professional Football League (WPFL). It lasted for a little while but fell apart in the 1980's. Think of all the women that played in that when it was up and running. I am sure those women have a desire to get back out there and show everyone what they are made of. I know that if I finally got a chance to get out there and play football again I would sure try my hardest. To be the best I could be, and to show that I could do what I put my mind to.

Changing the rules to allow women to try out for college and NFL football teams would be a huge step in the equality fight among genders. The change might also show everyone that women are not all frilly dresses and make-up anymore. Women can be tough too! The loud roar of the crowd, the smell of hotdogs in the air, and the crack of the helmet on your head with the helmet of a guy (or girl) on the other team. Not that is how women should be able to experience football. With the right skills and just a small chance some women could sho
