Monica Maeng offers liable information in her article, Girls struggle on the football team, about boys reactions and views to girls playing football with them.
In the article, Monica Maeng states, "Girls on football teams don’t get to play quarterback or other star roles because they aren’t physically able to beat out the guys." Boys generally do not like the idea of girls being the star of the team, so girls are limited to what they can do. Even if they are really good, boys will refuse to let them have the opportunity.
Monica Maeng states in her article, "I wouldn’t want my daughter to be quarterback. I wouldn’t want her holding the ball, period," Coach Mesa said." I believe if girls are qualified they should play; getting hit is going to hurt your body if you're a boy or a girl. Injuries will happen in any sport whether its boys or girls.
Monica Maeng says, "I don’t treat them any differently. They’re to be treated as guys. They’re playing a man’s sport," said David Lopez, 15." David, a fellow youth football player, does not care if a girl plays with him or not. He feels that if a girl plays football she should be treated as an equal, which is only fair. Females or not, whoever it is is expected to play at the highest level they can.
Boys in my school would probably look down upon a female player. she would be harassed and discriminated against. The only reason why she would not be is if she was a freak of nature and clearly better than everyone else. Unfortunately this will most likely never happen.
Boys clearly do not like the idea of female players. They view them as weak and not fit to play. Plus, coaches do not want them because boys make it easier on them, thus making the team weaker.
