And have you given any consideration at all to the complications that your participation will have, i.e. extra equipment, travelling considerations, locker room considerations, etc?
You still have not answered....are there boys on your softball team?
Man, Mike, way to throw down the gauntlet. It's not her concern if there are boys on the softball team - totally irrelevant. Is there a girls football team? Apparently not.
This is just like the straw man argument that Anika bashers came up with - can men compete on the LPGA? It's about being given a chance to compete on a higher level, not higfher level players being given a chance to be ruingers on lower levels. If there were a boys and girls football team, there would be no problem. But there is simply a football team and she wants to try out and compete. Why not let here. She's asking for the opportunity, not to be automatically placed on it. If she can't hack it, let her find out through participation and experience - not because someone else decided she couldn't/shouldn't.
There are lots of boys whose peers will outgrow them and will become unable to participate in later years - shall we weed them out now or should we let them all weed themselves out?
