Girls Just Want To Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper, 1983) ...

As the parent of two athletic daughters, I try to be as gender neutral as possible.

Girls varsity scrimmage today. Jump ball gets tapped to two short opponent guards, who both control the ball and a held ball is called. Now the two short opponent guards have to jump it up. Both girls as well as their teammates had big smiles on their faces, neither girl had ever participated as a jumper before. High school, middle school, travel, recreation. Never. Everyone involved had fun and appreciated the experience.

Call me sexist, but I doubt that I would see the same joy in a boys game. I believe that girls often have more fun playing basketball than boys. Not all the time, not all girls or not all boys, but often.
