Let's have a little equality in sports
Let's have a little equality in sports
Date published: 6/24/2003

I'm writing to you on the sub- ject of school sports. Boys have five sports: football, wrestling, soccer, track, and basketball. Girls have seven sports: basketball, soccer, football, track, wrestling, volleyball, and softball.

Now, since boys can't have a baseball team, I think Spotsylvania County schools should have coed softball teams.

I mean, girls can play two boys sports (I am not trying to be sexist, but wrestling a girl doesn't exactly make you feel right. When I lost to a girl in wrestling, I felt horrible to have to go home and tell my dad.)

In wrestling there is too much physical contact for girls. Most boys feel very uncomfortable touching girls, and I don't like beating up girls.

So, I think we boys should either get our own wrestling team or a coed softball team.
