If I had a son who played FB, I hoped he'd be man enough to walk away from playing against a girl.

This is my issue, but not for the reason one would assume. Here goes.
This applies to sideline reporters, locker room reporters, football players and any other job that is traditionally male.
If a female CHOOSES (and in the case of a minor, her parents give permission) to play a man's sport or do a man's job then she loses the right to sue or complain about how she is treated. If you choose to go into a locker room to interview an NFL player and you end up with a body part in your face--TOUGH. All men were not taught proper manners and you will have to deal with that. There is no guarantee that the people you will interview will have been taught respect and common decency. If you CHOOSE to play with the boys, IMO you don't get to be a hypocrite--you can't whine if you get slapped on the butt by a guy or if a naked man walks by you in the locker room or if a coach "offends" you on the sideline. You CHOSE this game/job. I get so sick of hearing about women reporters who have sued from what they encounter in an NFL locker room.
You are dealing with the male species. There will be body parts, farting, cussing and talking about naked women. DEAL WITH IT or GET OUT.I am all for equal rights in certain circumstances. A female does not belong on a football team. Period. She does not belong on the baseball team. Period. As for the reporting jobs--if you can stand the harassment--GO FOR IT!! If not, stick to 6pm news anchoring!!
Rant over.
I'm an old school older guy with a daughter and granddaughter that I would never want to see suffer from any sort of discrimination...however, no female should be allowed to play college football on a men's team for the same reason they should not be placed in a life threatening combat infantry situation. You just cannot dumb some things down to the point where everyone can compete.

I agree. My main problem is with this girls parents letting her(and encouraging her) to play football. My 9 year old daughter likes to play school, dance, and play with dolls. My 3 year old son is the ruffian that wants to tackle dad and "play fighting" as he calls it. I never knew any teenage boy that wanted to take a quarterback to the prom.
If she competed and earned the job, let her play. I was very scrawny in high school and no one (aside from my mother) was concerned about my size and strength compared to the other players.
It's a good story. Let her enjoy the moment.

Helen Hunt played a role in a movie called Quarterback Princess in which guys on the team nominated her for homecoming queen and she wins. Her date is a non football player. Its supposedly based on a true story. Of course its about football in the Pacific Northwest which is totally different from the South.
First her parents need their heads examined. This little dog and pony show has nothing to do with gender equality and more to do with "look at me"!
She nor any other female needs to play tackle football with boys. If this is the wave of the future then do away with all gender specific sports and make everything co-ed.

She might be talented, but at 5' 6" and 150 or so pounds, she won't play at a major college. Doesn't matter if the player is male or female... at that height they won't see over the OL of just about any college, sadly. Might have a cannon for an arm and won't matter at the college level.
I could be wrong, of course, but I can't remember a QB being that short anywhere.

I have a feeling that her parents are also those who think that EVERY KID DESERVES A TROPHY just for participating. Let's dumb down ALL sports AND education while we hand out trophies for just standing there doing NOTHING. Ugh. Don't get me on THIS soapbox!
Since she could walk, her parents probably had her in dance, gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, baseball, softball, piano, Scouts, swimming...you get my point. OVER ACHIEVING PARENTS living vicariously through their children!!Disclaimer: Excuse my anger. I've just returned from the abyss that is school traffic.
I really need to evaluate her without pads. She could go pro right out of high-school in the Lingerie League.
Umm...what?! :conf3:I have a feeling that her parents are also those who think that EVERY KID DESERVES A TROPHY just for participating. Let's dumb down ALL sports AND education while we hand out trophies for just standing there doing NOTHING. Ugh. Don't get me on THIS soapbox!

Talk about jumping to conclusions!
This girl has a 4.2 gpa, has already accomplished a year of college credit, etc. etc. This girl is obviously a very high achieving tom boy. She wants to play football and due to her abilities and hard work, she is getting that opportunity, although it is limited (3rd string), it is an experience she wanted to participate in.
I understand that this type of thing can have negative consequences, I also don't see this particular case being one of insincere motive. This girl seems to be a hard working young American who will be successful in something one day other than football. She has just chosen to participate in a sport that is out of the well and beaten path for females in the mean time.
