If you find it overly politically correct to recognize that a girl isn't a man, you must have a hard time with daily life. Even I stopped calling it 3-man a few years ago after saying I'd never do it -- I realized it's a small thing that really doesn't hurt anyone. Maybe it's because I have a daughter (although I like to think it's because I stopped dragging my knuckles on the ground).

(BTW, it's nothing to remember. It's not hard to recognize whether the players are girls or boys, is it?)
At the "captains " meeting, we usually have 2 or 3 players from each team.

That is why we ask for a speaking Captain.

Captain is not a sexual term, so, in my little world, there is no need to change it. JMO.

Life for me is just fine, I work a lot of 3 man games.
