Hello! Who agrees that girls should be allowed to play football?

I think that girls can be just as good as boys but maybe boys are better in games because they enjoy it more and are more suited to it.

Please give me your views on this topic.

If girls want to play football let them we'd be a fascist state if we started telling people you can't play this sport or whatever cause your female.

That said, I don't think girls will ever get into a major club or woman's football ever be a mainstream as men in general will always be more physically built for a sport such as football (stamina etc). Disagree with me at your liesure.

Thank you for your view Talon S I agree with it totally.

Would anyone else care to give their view on Girl's Football?

I am sorry but I totaly disagree.Where i live down south in Aussie girls play mainstream football with the boys and stop themin thier tracks most of the time.They earn the respect of the fellow team mates if they put in the hard yards the same as any one else on the team. Unfortunatly when a girl hits 13 they cant play alongside the boys and have to play in their own league which means they have to travel further because not as many girls play as boys but the option is still out there. My daughter played football (aussie rules) for two years and knocked many a boy down kicked goals and did just as much if not more (because she was a girl in a boy dominated sport) than the fellas. As far as soccer goes my oldest daughter has played soccer for many years against males and does just as well in that sport. My personal opinion is that in general we dont teach girls to acheive in sports we give them a barbie doll when the boy gets the footie.What if we gave the the football to the girl aswell what would she be able to acheive then? Anything maybe?

:catANYONE REMEMBER THE FOOTBALL MATCH IN BEDNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS!
C'MON GIRLS,FOOTIE IS A BOY'S GAME! HAVE SOME GIRL STRIKERS WHERE I LIVE!.....GOD THEIR STRIKEINGLY GOOD LOOKING! "STICK 2 WENDY DOLL'S!"

Yes Men and Women are Physicaly differant but do we have to compete against them or encourage more women to play and train for various elite levels of sports .

...thank you for that...very articulate and...moving contribution, Mr Dunderhead

um....anyway...

Ugh, even thru this age of equal rights we r such a sexist world. Girls should be allowed the chance to do anything that boys do, and boys anything that girls do. Jees. We're not 2 completely different species!!!!! And sum of the girls ive seen play football r just as good as the boys!

I believe women should be able to play football,but not against men.
It would not make for good watching as the men would not play the game to their full capability,due to not wanting to go for a tackle if its a woman on the ball.
The point is that it does come down to the fact that men are physically stronger then women,that will never change.

I think you all are correct(mostly) but just giving the girls the oportunity and encouragement at a junior level even changes attitudes like dunderheads and even many girls out there.sport teaches girls and boys to stive to achieve and how to compete against yourself and opposition.As lovely as barbie is she teaches girls to strive for the unatainable fantasy world which is why our divorce rate is soring .

Girls NO - NOT TILL YOU@VE LEARNT THE OFFSIDE RULE

hmmm girls in football...*pictures a bunch of really merf girls playing in the nfl or something...*

*pictures a bunch of cheerleaders playing football...*

but seriously, if they wanna let 'em i have no objections

Really i know heaps that still want to thats why you can shoot each other with paint pellets isnt that playing gi jo?

there actually is a womans football team somewhere...it was in Sports Illustrated for women but anyways...
girls can be just as good as guys in sports...maybe even better when that time of the month comes around. sure men are heavier and built to crash into each other but thats not what it takes to be good at a spot...ive been playin soccer since i was 5...in school i could always kick farther then the boys... it was funny too see em scramble when i came up to kick in kickball but anyways...as professionally...arrogant egotistical close minded men run the pro leagues...so untill that changes i dont think that womans teams will be as mainstream or payed the same as the men. what really pisses the hell outta me is the damn restrictions in girls ice hockey and girls LAX...err lacross. in hockey...the guys can beat each other over the head with sticks...slam people into the board and check all they want...but in girls...NOOOOO they cant because they are too fraigle and they get a penalty for it *rolls eyes* oh please come on! it doesnt take a freakin rocket scientist to skate full speed and slam some1 against some boards! as for the whole fragile thing...well i dunno bout other ladies...but when that time of the month comes...i tend to get a lil violent and angry.. soooo its not like im a lil whimpy girl who goes shopping 24/7 and swoons at every guy that walks buy.
the same rules apply to LAX. running down a field...with a metal stick in ur hand...whacking people with it...lol its not that hard! my friend does both ice hocky and lax...she doesnt care bout those rules...she whacks people anyways!
i really do hope that the people that make these rules..mainly men...get it through their thick skull that its not the 1700s anymore! us girls aint as priss and proper as u freakin think!
we can be just as athletic and tough as any guy...and yet stiill be a young lady...unlike most guys ive seen...the more sports they do...the more arrogant and egotistical and meatball headed they get.

oh! 1 more thing lol i dont hate all guys just the ignorant 1s

Ive always loved playing football but theres no girl teams where i live?
I would probably get bitch up by the bucth women anyway lol
But yeah girls should play football but against the same sex

Yes & yes .

Hello there People. I must say that you've done a grand(e) job replying to my girls football pole and I think most of you have expressed your opinions wisely and seriously, without just 'agreeing' with what other people say. You have used your own views and not copied what people have said, so your thoughts on girls football are very interesting to read. Thank you for being honest. Here are my views on it:

I think girls should be allowed to play football with school teams or whatever, instead of being discriminated against by the boys in their school for wanting to play it. My little 13-year old cousin is sort of a tomboy and she really wanted a football club to start at her school. She told her P.E teachers and they let her begin one for Friday lunchtimes or something, and this was to be for both sexes. It was only her and two other girls that went, so they were out-numbered by twelve boys. The boys told the football coach that they didn't want girls in the team so the coach told them they had to leave. Chelsea and her friends, Shannon and Kelly, went to the head master but the head told them that 'football's a boys sport and you shouldn't play it.' They were so mad that they all started behaving really badly at school and being really naughty. Kelly got expelled and Shannon and Chelsea only got suspended, lucky for them. But when asked to explain why they had been so disruptive they replied, "Because we started the football club. We're all football mad and we weren't even allowed to join our own club! If it wasn't for us these boys wouldn't have a club to go to!"

Wot's ur favourite footie team then Tiger?

moving back to the subject of girls football.

I think anyone should be able to play, its not fair that the sprt is based on boys, the horrible scoundrals.

xx

yes tiger, your story is touching, and something similar happend at my school.

but it was not footie, it was ballet. The boys wanted to do it, but the teachers said it was for poofs, but allowed it anyway.

The girls bullied the boys, and one ended up with crushed feet in hospital, and he couldn't dance ever again. the worst teacher was jailed for 2 days, and the girls were put in juvenile school for 4 months. The bullying was so severe thats why such extremes were taken upon. Luckily at that stage I was the year above, so none effected me. but my sister was involved, and was actually the crusher, I was so ashamed, she had to stay in the juvenile school for the rest of her school life. After this life wasn't easy for me either cause they knew she was my sister, in the end we had to move town. the word spread quickly and now I'm home schooled. this is why i go on this sight, so that i can talk to people my age, if my spelling is bad you know why. a few of you may remember an article about it ages ago called the Ballet Bullies but it wasn't allowed to be printed for long because of the danger we were all in.

Just think about it, this could happen with football but we actually know it could so we've got an advantage. we can stop it.

Football is an amazing sport and everyone should be allowed to play it. So I don't think ANYONE has the right to snort and say 'Oh my god, look at that tomboy playing football, she looks so stupid' at someone who is enjoying the games that are played in their world.
