Wow, this sort of ruling always opens a huge can of worms. They are aimed at "leveling the playing field" but it seems to me they do the opposite. The problem I see with letting girls on boys teams is that it is supposed to be about equality, but it seldom is. I remember seeing something last year or so about some hockey players that wanted to play field hockey with the girls. Parents raised holy hedoublhockeysticks (I love typing that btw). I completely understand and support girls wanting the same opportunties as boys to play, but you can't have it all. If it is going to be all about equality,we need to get rid of sex-specific teams totally and the best players play. Allowing some players on and some not is not equality. Of course this is just my view and if I knew all the answers, I'd be a much wealthier person.
