Question Are we assuming too much here?

Did it ever occur to anyone, that she is not good enough to play? If we put the gender issue aside, does it ever occur that she is too small or not strong enough for the position she wishes to play? When you get to the HS level, players get cut all the time. Mainly because they are not fit for the sport and schools have only so many spots that they can provide a uniform and accomidations for players. Maybe she is just not good enough?

I wanted to play basketball, but I was too short to play in the post, not fast enough to be a point guard and did not shoot well enough to get playing time. Maybe she is not big enough, strong enough or fast enough. That would not be the first time a young boy got cut for the team. Why is this any different for a boy?

Peace
